1985 FORD 555
Hi all,


I’m working on my 1985 Ford 555 backhoe (4WD) and I’m stuck on two things:


  1. Hub Nut Removal Tool
    I need the proper tool to remove the hub nuts. From what I’ve found, the original Ford/New Holland tool number should be 11846, but I can’t track one down.

  • Do any aftermarket versions exist (e.g. Laser, Draper, Sealey, etc.)?
  • Some of the nuts on mine have 4 slots, but I can see others with 5 or 6. Has anyone used a cheap Laser tool successfully, or is there another equivalent I should look for?

  1. Kingpins & Bearings
    I’ve got the axle apart. The top bearing is broken, and the bottom bearing was completely destroyed. The top pin looks straightforward, but the bottom pin looks odd – it has a solid centre instead of the threaded section I expected.

  • Does anyone know the correct kingpin and bearing part numbers for this model?
  • Are there different versions depending on year/axle type?

I’ve seen a lot of conflicting info online (some showing the 3-stud bolt-in type, which I know mine isn’t). Mine has 4 bolts on top holding the cover plate.


Any help with part numbers, suppliers in the UK, or even a reliable diagram would be much appreciated.


Thanks in advance,
Addison

It should be a Carraro axle. Pretty common OEM- John Deere used them I recall.

I looked on their website and found this for a dealer. I’d call them and see if they can help you out.
