    Ford 4000 front loader/hydraulic questions

    I'm new to this 1965 Ford 4000 3 cylinder gas engine with an 8 speed transmission with independent pto. There is a chrome lever to the left of the 3 point hydraulic lift lever that has 3 positions ( forward, middle,back) in the middle position, it's the only position where the 3 point lift...

    Ford 545a Ford 4500 interchange

    yes, the 545a currently has a good loader on it but no backhoe. You're saying my 4500 backhoe (755 backhoe) will not directly bolt up to the current 545 rear end without modification? 545 stamps above starter model number DD411 unit 2J28B tractor number C693318 4500 stamps 5J27C 45021G...

    Ford 545a Ford 4500 interchange

    I got an old 4500 for free and just went through the locked up engine. a lot of little things left on it to do but saw a good deal 545 that runs and drives but without a backhoe. If I end up buying the 545 it'd be nice to know that everything will swap over including the backhoe

Including the 4x4 manual reverser, engine,Hard nose, rear end that the backhoe bolts to? How different is the hydraulic frame on the 4500 compared to the 545? Is the 545 similar...

    Is the 6 cylinder 200 industrial engine a car engine? I didn't think they put industrial engines in vehicles

    will all the industrial/ag/tractor/car engines that were 3 or 4 cylinder bolt right up? or are the automotive ones different?

    Ford industrial engine interchange

    Anyone know if a 200 6 cylinder Ford Industrial engine out of a 1975 swather bolt up to a 1966 4500 Ford tractor? Not concerned about the ignition wiring, or throttle linkages , just curious if the bell housing bolts up as well as the front mounting is the same. I hear all Ford tractor engines...

    Ford 4500 seized engine/clutch

    I've seen this on YouTube when doing research! I appreciate you posting it! I have an automotive shop so the labor is cheap 😂. Just ordered all the parts so should have it running on my engine stand by next week. Was it difficult going through the rear backhoe controls at all? Mine are frozen...

    Ford 4500 seized engine/clutch

    Got the pistons out tonight and everything is checking out good, so it looks like I can just throw some pistons,hone the cylinders, and get a new clutch kit to get it up and running again so the saga still continues 😅

    Ford 4500 seized engine/clutch

    Yes. It has the 740 front loader and the 755 backhoe. Hydraulic hoses are not in great shape and the controls are all seized up for the backhoe that I don't know much about so depending how much the engine needs I may just ship this to the scrap yard down the street.

    Ford 4500 seized engine/clutch

    Wrapped a chain around the hard nose and attached the other end to my Chevy 2500. Kept yanking and after every pull had to Re-adjust my lift points and jacks because it was ripping the whole tractor forward. Finally the clutch broke and it separated after a tough 2 hours.

    Ford 4500 seized engine/clutch

    Acquired a 1966 Ford 4500 that had been sitting for 15 years and found the engine locked up. Went to pull the engine to free it up and found this. 25 years in the automotive industry working in the rust belt, I have never seen something this frozen before 😅 .This engine was the hardest I've ever...
