Haven’t tried yet, been in and out of the hospital but did get my first stump pulled. It took a while and learning how to use the four lever backhoe. It’s fun ,interesting ,slow. We’ll dig into that next week. My wife has a lot more important things that she needs me to do. I don’t know what’s...

I have bought some discount oil for my ford 4500 industrial with 755 backhoe. Access AG hydraulic oil. Can’t find any info. Will it work or should I take it back.

So much to learn so little time

OK, I am getting ready to take the pivot rods out to check them out to see if the bushing is bad but first I’m looking to see if I can replace those pivot rods and or bushings. Where could I find those parts? I have tried Steiner Tractor no luck.

I spent a few ours going over my manuals could not find any good diagram went to parts book for pivot rod and bushings no luck will try again

Thank you for reminding me as Betty Davis Once said getting old is not for sissies

Yes, I have all the manuals you’re right my mind is going. I forgot I had them. I’m gonna go pull them out today. My wife’s husband is an idiot.

Tha Thanks I hope it’s not that

Thank you I will look at that. What do you think? Makes it jam up where both of them move with one lever or the other and they don’t move independently I will look at the top and bottom and see if I can see. Why it is happening. do you think it’s a matter of lubrication or mechanically jammed...

That is way over my head. I wish I understood. Could you explain it in Laymans terms? If not, I appreciate your help anyway I will try to get on the Google and figure it out.

Yes, they’re on opposite sides. I don’t know how it’s happening. They’ve always been kind of sticky. I will send a picture later.

I’m working on my Ford 4500 industrial just got hose replaced from backhoe to manifold cost a lot more than I was quoted but I got screwed. It is what it is anyway my outrigger levers seem to be sticking together. I can’t get them to work independently it’s very difficult. What is the repair for...

Thank you I have a Kioti ck 25

Thank you for the explanation. Everything was working fine I thought I just blew the hose you’re saying I blew the valve at the same time forgive my ignorance I was afraid before just doing the hoses now I’m thinking of hiring . What would be a good price.

Thanks

Maybe I don’t understand correctly each hose go to a valve ther are 12 hoses going to that manifold

Pressure dies completely when I turn the motor off when I restart it it starts leaking again like it’s trying to build a pressure to the crowd cylinder

Thing was working as it should before I blew that hose. It turns out the hose is the one that goes to the crowd cylinder, piston end I believe. i’m going to attempt to replace all the hoses that go to

Sorry if these are dumb questions, I just got into tractors a few years ago and I’m 70 having trouble learning new stuff. what if the bucket is still stuck in the stump that’s when it blew?

What if the bucket is still stuck in the stump?

The one that is leaking is A to #9 the Bucket rod end I believe hard to tell for sure till I pull it out, but it is leaking right at the bottom of the lift after it comes up about 2 feet from where it’s connected inside the lift it pumps out pretty fast when I start the tractor

Thanks some people say I’m cheap. I call it frugal my dad told me I got it from my Scottish grandfather. He said he would squeeze a nickel till the buffalo farted.

I needed a canopy on my coyote after my umbrella blew away. So this is what I did. I used the teneau cover from Toyota tundra that I got for free cut it down painted it orange I cut it to fit the 2+2golf cart cover. Built the frame out of pressure treated two by fours and 2 1/2x five inch...

Thanks good idea

My tractor runs, but none of the hydraulics are working while it’s leaking and it got stuck and blew the hose while using the backhoe to dig at stump roots. How do I straighten everything while it’s leaking? Should I fill it and waste or catch the fluid again and try to get it to move straight...

The largest line wrench I got is one and 5/16 and the opening won’t go around the hose. The hose is half inch ID 100r2at

They deserve every penny

Thanks for your input

I got all these for 80 bucks. They are Bonnie and Armstrong. Looks like all the sizes I need plus some and I’m getting a couple 3060 wrenches I think I have everything else gonna try next week thanks.

This is a follow up and another question about my backhoe hose replacement a Ford 755 backhoe on a Ford 4500 industrial. I have decided to do the hoses myself and I started looking at all the places to pour hydraulic oil so far if correct The differential the transmission and I just discovered...

Thanks I ordered some wire on tags and I will take a lot of pictures but I want to take all those ones that go under and up to them hydraulic control unit. I guess you call it. I’m gonna do all of them. This is a 1973 I believe ford 4500 industrial with a 755 backhoe. It looks like the original...

Thanks Thanks Thanks all the encouragement made me decide to give it a try

I’m trying to find the crows feet that you pictured and some 30/60 wrenches. it looks like I need a 7/8 a 1 inch and a one and a quarter. Everybody was very encouraging and it doesn’t look as bad as I thought. Thanks again. Wish me luck. I will keep everyone posted.

Thanks very wet side Thanks so much. I have regular crows feet.I can see how that would be better will the opening get around hose?

been a long time. My tractor has been sitting for way too long. I was hoping I could find somebody reasonable to replace my hydraulic hoses for my backhoe. I couldn’t. I have to do it myself. I have a 4500 Ford industrial with 755 backhoe The hoses that go under and up to the manifold seem very...

Thanks great advise.also gonna look at 30/60 open ends someone suggested.

Will be taking some time off then remove hoses an have them copied at hydraulic shop.thanks I’ll think about your offer

I do 50 foot paint jobs

I’ll check tomorrow. I’m still learning.Cant check hydraulics when I fix lm gonna label and practice practice practice. thanks

Thanks to everybody’s advice and encouragement. Really appreciate it. I have a question. Is it possible to do video on this site? I tried wouldn’t work.

thank you very much. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thank you so much more tools yay. Can never have too many wrenches I will get those 3060s every time I use this machine this strength really impresses me. I knew I was gonna have to replace the hoses. I have 10 gallons ready of hydraulic fluid.

Two one high one low ,I basically use two gears low 1st forward and low reverse I’m a rook

I just thru half gallon of rustoleum at it

Hello tractor gurus . Kind of a newbie didn’t grow up with this stuff . Bought my first tractor at about 60 years old.own a Kioti 26 and an old Ford 4500 industrial with 755 backhoe .Just pickedup last year for 2 grand .new injector pump starter.added Silverado seat an boat seat for back hoe...

I am installing a thermostart in my Ford 4500 diesel. I’ve put it into the intake manifold and it’s wired to the ignition. I tried using just a canister above gravity, feeding diesel to the thermostart that did not work. My question is if I T into the return lines by the Injectors will that...

Thanks for your input. I won’t be hooking up the hydraulics right now I don’t have rear remotes but I am going to be installing a diverter switch if I need that in the future but I don’t think I’ll need it. It’s a 500 pound unit it will go down easy enough, I used another heavy duty and it came...

Mine is mobile. I just have to lift it with my fork and put tires back on. I take the tires off to make the angle better but it would work with the tires on. Now that I have a longer drive shaft, I may put tires back on.

Picked up pto gen this year win power 30 k watts My little Kioti CK25 probably only generates 15k but already 4 outages this year and it hasn’t even snowed or gotten below freezing here on Puget sound in PNW. LOVE THIS THING ,

It ways 500 lbs and it comes with optional hydraulics I just didn’t install because my tractor is a little undersized.

I would like to give a shout out to TMG the manufacturers of my new post hole digger. I installed it on my CK 25. It is over built for my tractor. I know that. but it is so robust that it will work well if I get a larger tractor and it will do fine on mine for now. I was just very impressed with...

I have the manual and it says that if you attach it to the hydraulics, it will both push it down and lift it up. They actually say once the hydraulics is there that’s what you should use to do the lifting and pushing I am not going to use that at this time, I think the 500 pounds of weight is...

Great post. Thanks so much. I do like that design. I have mounted the post hole digger with everything on it but the auger and it lifts up and down fine I will be trying it next week. Will keep you posted. I think I will build that goalpost like that it looks like a good idea, thanks again I...

THanks

I don’t think they include the bit

The thing weighs about 500 pounds. I don’t think I need any more down pressure. It’s a beast. I’ll probably leave the frame on just for the weight instead of my sandboxes.

You might be right I just noticed it has two hoses, so proves how much I know about hydraulics

I won it at Ritchie Bros auction in Chehalis for 600 out the door with fees, 750. They give you the hoses the hydraulic cylinder 12 inch bit and a nice long driveshaft. I like that long driveshaft for my PTO Generator. I figured that’s what I would pay for a standard one at Wilco or tractor...

Thank you that’s what I was hoping I wouldn’t use the hydraulic to push it down harder but what about to pull it up if it gets stuck thanks your right bought at auction site didn’t think I’d win whoops. i’ve been using my Neighbors category 2 with my 6 inch bit. I just don’t like borrowing...

I purchase oversized post hole digger TMG TPD12 rated for 35 to 65 hp got a good deal couldn’t pass .Now I’m scared Putting it on my CK25 .It’s class 1&2 auger .CK25 is class 1 25 hp Opinions.TIA

Hello .I purchased A TMG-TPD 12 that says rated for 35 to 65hp tractors at this time I want to use it on my Kioti CK25 class 1 25hp tractor. Will there be a problem it is much heavier than smaller phd but I like things over built in case I move up in tractor or want to lend to neighbors with...

I have my Kioti and a ford 4500 industrial with 755 backhoe both running. I just picked up the Ford to use for clearing and parking out my 5 acres no way no way my Kioti would do thatwould do that.

Thanks I left the wheel off built a shed around. Yes That is what I thought found a spot near my panel.still have to finish

Thanks I always say my wife’s husbands an idiot .I need all the help I can get!

Thanks good advise

Next year's project for now. I just bought some forks for my Ford 4500 industrial. Thanks

I have other wheels, but the hope is too big, those Are a strange size bolt pattern and cone shape. I think I will just run it with the wheels off. I have a spot where I'm gonna be running it. Just trying to get ready for the zombie apocalypse

I finally got to test my PTO generator bought it, not knowing if it worked or not anyway took you gurus advice and bought the digital meter. I it seems to be working fine. My question is in one picture I have it running with the tires off, which puts it level and a straight line with my tractor...

Just want to say thanks to all the people in this forum . So far it’s been great. I am fairly new to the Tractor world and appreciate all the help and opinions. Thanks to all you guys out there.

Thanks that’s a thought. I’ll try that way in the areas where I don’t wanna put a garden. I still have huge piles of brush from dropping the trees and still have four more acres to try to park out. That’s why I got this tractor. Looking forward to this adventure.

Thanks you guys give me hope

Thank you can’t wait. When I was working and I got to run equipment like JLG’s bucket trucks I was electrician I always thought wow they’re paying me for this. I would’ve done it for free when I was a kid now I’m a kid again

I think I’m the same way when I was working, I thought Prints were printed inside my eyelids but sometimes when I go back in the morning, it doesn’t look anything like I thought. I’m hoping I get better. First step will be labeling the controls tomorrow. Still having fun almost 70.

Look at buying this grapple . I want to add to my CK 25 coyote I do not have third function, and all I have at rear is PTO and three-point line. What else will I need besides the control box pictured? I am also thinking of purchasing skid steer, adapter, and having the plate welded on that...

Thanks I practiced on a small one about 8 inches across new to a backhoe. Need to practice label controls. I’ll get it going to be fun.

Would it be wise to attack these stumps with my backhoe?

Thanks I will. I feel like a little kid.

The backhoe is huge it’ll dig down 15 feet probably too big for the tractor lotta welds

I’m new loving it so far it seems to be so much more than Kioti CK 25. I like that one too. I don’t know why I waited till I was 60 till I got a tractor.

Not restored I did 100 foot spray paint job the seats were shot. I replaced them with a Chevy Silverado 50 bucks and one of my boat seats will be upgraded to black tie, wraps, added muffler, the gauge Consol wiring harness new starter , owner installed new injector pump. I put a Thermostart in...

ford 4500 ind industrial is it vintage ? If so I’m prehistoric! Just want to know which forum for discussion?

Just tried it once thanks. tried it again. I don’t think it’s working right it gets a little warm but I don’t think the torch is lighting.

This is how I decided to add Thermostart opinions appreciated, motorcycle front brake cylinder. Discovered I needed to take the top off for it to work no vent and it took about 2 to 3 minutes for the intake manifold to get warm. Does that sound right?

I like it my trailers got it set pretty high 15 inch tires. I may have to take them off put it on blocks when I’m using it.

Wow, I like it and there is a me in Team and I tell people all the time it’s all about me.

Cool cool good idea thanks

I’m getting a new meter digital that meter doesn’t work at all and no it doesn’t have hz.

Thanks

Thanks going to do a lockout on my panel it will be isolated. I will check it with my Fluke.

30kw

I am confused by all the different PTO drive lines just picked up a winpower generator 30 KW. 6spline at generator six spline at my PTO Tractor side. what PTO drive line do I specify in my search

30kw i’ll be lucky to get 10 out of my tractor Kioti ck 25 thinking ahead may get a bigger tractor someday

That’s about what I ordered pretty reasonable prices. wish I had a higher horsepower PTO.

I picked up a beast PTO generator bigger than I can run with my coyote CK 25, but I’ll get what I can out of it. My question is I need a new meter one I can see digital preferred voltage frequency and current draw. Any suggestions would be appreciated TIA.

Thank you very much everyone's been very helpful can't wait to get my thermostart

Thank you

My intake manifold is exactly how described I don’t have to drill a hole. I will pull that plug out and probably do like you were thinking just get a separate canister.

Yes my gosh ,that was so helpful. I will be looking there tomorrow. Thanks

Yes, it does have a swell kind of flat spot round at first I thought it was a nut or bolt but it’s just a swell Thanks I’m waiting to get a Thermostart to see what the thread is. Don’t know where I got the half inch idea. I will take a picture tomorrow. Thanks again.

I am trying to install a Thermostart on my 4500 Ford three cylinder diesel. There is no pre-threaded a spot on my intake manifold. Do I need to drill it out and tap a half inch thread therefore the Thermostart any information would be very helpful TIA.

I have a Ford 4500 with a 755 backhoe . Does anyone know which cylinder rebuild kit I need for lyft cylinder?TIA

I bought the $90 one on eBay I know I can make one but it would probably take about $30 worth of wire and three or four hours of labor. I’m old slow short timer my time is worth a lot. That said, I am of , Scottish dissent. I will squeeze a nickel till the buffalo farts, but getting a little lazy.

Cool, thanks

Thank you great post. Of course I got every manual except for parts manual I know better that’s the one I use most from my other tractor. The guy that owned it before me used ether every time I want to get away from that and like you said, it shows ether as an option Yet everybody screams never...
