Adding backhoe to 1983 ford 445c loader

[bvahjen]

Looking for some hints on hydraulic hook up to add a backhoe attachment I got for my 445c. I don’t see anything labeled PB on the loader valve although there are two unused ports on top of the valve. Any hints appreciated.

When I was a dealer, I sold a Ford 764 backhoe that was made for the 545/445 skiploaders. Here is the schematic of the plumbing. This can be found on New Hollands’ parts lookup under 764 backhoe.

So, it does look like it can be done with the stock loader valve. Thanks!

Did you ever go ahead with a backhoe for your 445C? The loader valve does not have a power beyond, but a backhoe could be added with a little bit of plumbing depending on the backhoe you install.
