I have a Ford 753(series) T9-389(component) 3827(serial) backhoe mounted on a 1966 Ford model 4000 numbers C1Z76ZZ 6BZ 440Z16 gas 3cyl tractor.
This means it is a 47 year old machine, but it still digs and works. My problem is that there is a pretty good hydraulic leak coming from the backhoe control unit located under backhoe seat. I have replaced about half of the hoes, but the rest are original. The leak seems to occur when I am pulling the arm back toward the tractor under pressure. It does not seem to be leaking where the hose connects to the control unit. My questions are is there any other place it could be leaking besides the hose connection??? Is there any place where I might purchase a new or reconditioned control unit????
