Picked up a Ford 555 backhoe, knew the power steering cylinders were leaking. Got them torn down and discovered rods are 0.75”, not 0.685”. Part number listed on cylinder barrel is C5NN 3A739F. Can’t find either that part number or 3/4” seal kit anywhere. In good shape besides seals. Any...

Looking at a Big Mo 500 in a few days, guy bought in new back in the 60s, hasn’t ran in a while but says it ran when he retired (it’s a contractor liquidation sale). I know parts are a pain so I likely wouldn’t buy it unless he lets me tinker and get it running to test out transmission first...

Anyone here ever had their (3pt) lift control spool valve apart? After replacing my 3pt lift cylinder seal and then redoing the seals in the hydraulic pump to no avail, the only place left to turn was the lift control. Just for reference the 3pt had worked although it would leak down. I was...

Replacing the seal on my 3pt cylinder piston, old one came off in pieces. Noticed the piston head that moves in the cylinder has a couple deep scores in it. Before the seal entirely failed the 3pt worked, just drifted down after a while. I’m thinking it’s not worth messing with the scoring given...

Trying to tinker with a 1980 Ford 1700 I'm looking to pick up from a friend. Replaced the starter solenoid and got it turning over. Fluids and all that changed already, injector pump oil as well. Bled the fuel system, seem to have solid fuel spurting at the block with injector lines cracked...

I am looking at a Ford 1700 that has a FEL, structurally everything seems solid although most of the paint is gone but it looks like a Ford 770. The loader needs hooked up and the lines need replaced from the 2 lever control valve to the loader. Fittings are fairly rusted at the control valve...

Hi there. I’ve found a lot of good info here, looking to/planning to buy a Ford 1700 off a friend. Looking forward to continuing to learn here. Ben

Looking at a Ford 1700 that a friend is selling. It was his father-in-laws, he is helping his mother in law clean the place up and get rid of stuff. Engine is free, needs a bit of wiring redone, going to mess with starter and see if I can jump the solenoid after reading some posts here. Oil...
