Boy, Oh Boy, the more I find out, the less I know. My tractor a New Holland Ford 445C loader 8 X 8 with a Ford 764 backhoe. BTW, I'm 90, the tractor did it's job. Anyone want to make an offer/

Sportsman762, This time, you worded it correctly. It was actually a whack on the back of my head. I appreciate it. So far, I just added some Bars to the fronts wheels which carry 1 quart of fluid and I add ed 1 oz. Bars. I'll drain them. Thank you for the feedback! I didn't enjoy admitting...

Sportsman762, I appreciate your response, and I suspect you're knowledgeable, but there has got to be many people on this forum that have had personal experience with these hydraulic sealants. Specifically, Bars! I just don't want to pull my machine apart when there might be a solution that...

Yes, It states the swelling of the seal. I feel if that is true, then it will help to prevent leaks and stop slight leaks. A leaking fitting is a different matter. oldnslo, thank you.

ptsg, Coolant stop leak has nothing in common with hydraulic stop leak, except both are hyped to stop leaks. With all the product out there, it appears there might be some hope with Bars. I thought I'd asked this forum for opinions from tractor people that have tried it for better or worse...

pisg, thank you for your reply. You not only live in a beautiful country, but you enjoy building things with your hands. So do I. Now at 90 years old I have slowed down. My question is: have you actually used Bars hydraulic sealer? Do you have experience with the product? My 1989 New Holland...

Thank you. I bumped the starter. It was simple.

I like that first thought. I'll sleep better with that thought tonight. Yes, photo tomorrow.

fluid leak down front right tire on 4 X 4 NH Ford 445C? Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get started? Thanks, Fred PS I'll post a photo tomorrow.

445C, how to turn hard to reach crank shaft to turn engine over to proper valve positions? Is it necessary to remove the fan belt to reach crank shaft?

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle My 445C is running strong and out of the mud. Time for a nap... Thanks everyone! What a great group! OK, simple problems are easy to overlook. I was stuck in the mud, really stuck and the loader failed. After a couple weeks of moaning and groaning, TractorTect...

I still can't find where to attach the male end of the high-pressure hose from the divider to the loader...

Ted, you are a genius you nailed it, I'm so blind. I could not see the uncoupled hose without a flashlight. Any way it is the high-pressure hose from the divider behind the seat on the right. One end is connected to the divider and the male end is clean and loose. It is nighttime, so at first...
