    Ford 555 water pump pressure

    Hi Tom; does your operators manual also list the hydraulic oil type and the filter spec? My service manual covers both the 550 and 555 and lists oil spec as M2C48A and just says filter is 10 micron throw away. Just curious because I’ve seen other 555’s say oil spec is M2C134D although maybe...

    Ford 555 water pump pressure

    I only went to the lower pressure cap as I have now taken the rad in for an internal external cleaning, replaced the water pump, put in a new thermostat and added the fan shroud that was not present, so I thought I would go all original. I haven’t tried it out yet however am hoping my...

    Ford 555 water pump pressure

    Thanks everyone. Yes I meant the 201 cid 3.3 litre 3 cyl diesel. Thanks for the 7psi spec as mine has a 15psi cap on it. Was yours the same year? My service manual seems to list everything else however seemed to miss this spec. Also for the cost of the pump I think I’ll take your advise and...

    Ford 555 water pump pressure

    Hello; I had some overheating issue with my 1978 ford 555 2.3 litre diesel. I wondered if anyone knew what psi this system should use for rad cap pressure as I can’t seem to find it in the manual ( if you’ve seen this in the 555 manual please let me know what page). I removed the thermostat...

    Ford 555 front end

    Hello; I have a ford 555 and the front casting of the nose has broken off where it bolts to the motor (part #d9nn3029ca) . I can get the casting for approx. $1300.00 however wondered if anyone knows what it would cost to install. It looks like you the rad, hydraulic pump, and axle would need to...

    Ford 4500 blocks

    Hello I have a 73 ford 4500 tlb with a blown block (201 cid diesel 3 cyl. # D0NN 6015 LA ). I wondered if a block from a 3000 diesel 175 cid (C7NN 6015 A) can be used with my head and pistons etc. to Make this a 201 cid.? It appears this block casting # could be used with 3000 or 4000 series...

    Ford 555 backhoe brackets

    Hello; I wondered if anyone knows where to find the lower right and left brackets below the axle for the backhoe to attach to, or what the part # may be. (Ford 555 1978). The upper mounts use the loader frame however the lower ones must be optional for a backhoe. Thanks

    755 backhoe

    Hello; I have a 755 ford backhoe from a 1973 ford 4500 and wondered if anyone knew how much trouble it would be to fit to a ford 555? The 550 tractor lists this backhoe as an attachment but the 555 uses some other 15 backhoe. The 555 has a different style loader so I m not sure if I could...

    755 backhoe

    From what I can tell all the hydraulic lines for loader and backhoe come from the front pump and into the subframe only of the loader/ backhoe as a reservoir. I m not sure if that front pump in front of radiator is original or if it was an add on however if I take the entire frame loader and...
