Shuttle Shifter issues

[boatmoter]

Hi all, hope one of you can help me.
I have a 1994 555D Ford backhoe and when I have been using it anywhere from 20-30 min the shuttle shifter stops working and it won’t go forward or reverse. After it cools down it can be used again…. What is causing this? It’s a real pain and can’t get much work done…. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

may be a clogged hydraulic filter. I would do a Hydraulic service to it

Welcome to TBN.

When it does this, it won't even try to move?
If you lift the back end off of the ground and engage the shuttle, do the wheels move or try?

might check the transmission fluid and some tractors have to be filled a certain way or air gets in and causes it not to work,,,

When the back end is lifted off the ground it will not move. I will have him check fluid again. Thanks!!

The transmission oil is independent of the rear end oil and the hydraulic system. The transmission filter is the one on the LH side of the transmission.
