ford 545d

I have a 1994 Ford 545D with a Gannon box scraper. Over the last few days the rear hydraulics have gotten slower and by yesterday noon the scraper wouldn't lift at all. this morning I changed the hydraulic filter under the floor plate and topped off the oil in the rear end. It was slow but would...

Hey guys, I have a 545d and i believe the torque converter grenaded, I need to split the tractor, anyone done it before? Google not much help, I’m assuming pull the loader off and support everything and split it at motor and trans and roll the motor forward away from trans, any input? Thank you

Hello - I have a Ford/New Holland 545d with shuttle shift trans. It has a dump pedal on the floor that is supposed to throw the shuttle into neutral so you can rev up the motor to speed up loader operation. Pressing the pedal does nothing. My understanding of the system is that the electrical...

Hi, I'm getting ready to change the oil in the front axle on my Ford 545D 4WD tractor. The manual says to use Ford 134 oil. I expected the axle assembly to use 90w gear oil but it looks like I uses the hydraulic oil instead. Can you verify that for me? Thanks

So, I've been looking for a first tractor and while the Ford 545D is on the large side for me, a couple municipal owned low hour ones in my price range have popped up. Unfortunately, they all don't have loaders and some google searches haven't revealed to me if it's possible to add one...

I can't get the PTO on my newly acquired 1993 Ford/New Holland 545D to disengage. The tractor has the 8X8 transmission with power shift. I disconnected the linkage and moved the PTO lever at the trans. casing. The lever moves through the full range but the PTO continues to run. I made sure that...

I haven't used this tractor in about 1 1/2 years but when I started it up today and drove it around the power steering is real hard. Feels like I'm driving a 1970s muscle car with no power steering. I remember it used to steer real easy. All the other hydraulics are working fine. Just the...

We just picked up a newer Ford 545D mfwd tractor for shop use, and I am looking for ideas on necessary counterweight for the loader. The idea is to use the tractor w/ pallet forks and a boom generally. We have an older 545 backhoe which we've used for similar work in the past, but we're trying...

recently purchased a Ford 545d tractor. today I backed it out of our barn and drove it in forward but then put shuttle lever in reverse, but no reverse. Forward works fine, just no reverse. Does anyone have any thoughts to cure my problem?

Hi all, I'm new to the site and new to owning a tractor. I just bought a 1994 Ford 545D. I'd like to add a block heater. Any advise (e.g. block heater vs. radiator hose heater / not interested in magnetic). I see screw-in block heaters advertised; can anyone direct me to a diagram or picture...

I everyone, i'm looking for a new tractor and was wondering if any of you guys could help me decide between a 2130 JD with a 540 loader and cab, or a 545D Ford with loader and PTO, but no cab. The ford is a 1994, while the JD is a 1979. Jd has 66 pto hp and ford around 60hp at the pto. Both are...

I am considering a 545D tractor but it dose not have a PTO can it be added to this tractor. thanks

Will plowing 10 acres of NEPA soil with a 3 bottom plow hurt the transmission in my Ford 545D with 8x8 shuttle transmission?

I recently purchased a Ford 545D loader and have been plowing snow with it a couple of times. Today while driving it the 8x8 shuttle tranny cuts out and tractor stops moving. All I have to do is press the pedal to the dump valve and release it then it will move. This happened quite a few...

Does New Holland make a TN series tractor that is comparable to the older Ford 545D tractor/loader. I know my 345C is built like a rock and seems that anything I do will not break it. Loader specs and Hp are my number spec to compare, 5000# lift to full height & 60ish Hp.

Found this tractor for sale for $16500. It has 4000 hours, has loader and Hydraulic gannon. Is this a good deal? Is this a good tractor? Thanks Danny
