    535 frame hydraulic plug leaking

    Today was only the second time I started my 535 LTB (successor and nearly identical to 4500) and noticed a new leak coming from the [i:1b5b33f833]driver's side[/i:1b5b33f833] frame hydraulic plug. I'm pretty sure it wasn't leaking last year, but there is a decent size oil puddle where it was...

    Elementary lube questions - Ford 535

    Regarding my 1977 Ford 535: 1. On my left spindle (?), there is a grease fitting on the top and the bottom. On the right, there is no fitting on the bottom. There's a hole, but it doesn't feel like it's threaded. I tried to screw in a Zerk fitting, but there was nothing for it to screw...

    Parking brake not holding on 535

    The parking brake on my 535 ([u:24ca0f564e]very[/u:24ca0f564e] similar to 4500) is not holding well on even a slight incline. It feels like there's less tension on the handle than when I got the tractor three years ago. The actual brakes still seem to work well and it doesn't feel like I'm...

    535 thermostat or temperature sender problem?

    When I bought my 535 two years ago, the temperature gauge wasn't working. I recently installed a block heater, changed the radiator hoses, changed the coolant, and replaced the temperature sender unit. The connector tab had broken off. The sender I got from the tractor dealer 75 miles away...

    How to operate 535 3-point hitch (Gannon setup)?

    I was finally able to separate the backhoe from my Ford 535 TLB to test the hydraulic lift system (aka 3-point hitch). The system I have does not look like what the manual shows. I'm not finding it in the CNH online parts catalog either. In [color=blue:f366a5265f]this...

    Power steering turns wheels left (535)

    On my '77 Ford 535 TLB, when I pop the front wheels off the ground by using the loader, the wheels turn all the way to the left, with the steering wheel spinning counter-clockwise as well. When I'm driving, I need to tug the steering wheel a little bit clockwise to keep going straight. It's...

    Removal of 755 backhoe attachment from 4500

    I've read prior posts about removal of the backhoe from the 4500 but have a couple of questions. First, I'll quote those posts: http://ytforums.ytmag.com/viewtopic.php?p=3406514#3406514 There was a reference to a more detailed post being in the archives, but I never could find it...

    New hydraulic hose oozing through outer rubber layer?

    I know this question sounds bizarre, but has anyone ever heard of a new hydraulic hose that is defective and oozes oil through the outer rubber layer? I replaced a hose on my Ford 755/4500 backhoe and still had a leak. I thought it was just a loose connection so tightened those up, but oil...

    755 (4500) hydraulic hose change (photos) ??

    I could desperately use some advice on changing a backhoe hydraulic line on my new-to-me Ford 4500 TLB with 755 backhoe. I feared that the problem would be getting the boom end of the hose off, since there is no space between hose ends, but was able to do it with a service wrench. See the...
