Ford 555 backhoe vs ford4500

[Mikedieker]

Hello;
I am planning to take my backhoe Faron my 4500 and adapt it to fit onto my Ford 555. The 4500 backhoe (called a 755 backhoe) uses pins that mount onto hooks. The 555 uses a bolt on style. So I want to use a large plate that bolts onto the 555 and add hooks to it.
I wondered if there is anyone that knows if there are drawings (or cad ) from either the backhoe or the tractor that might help me to “draw up” this adapter plate.
Thanks
Mike

Welcome to TBN!

I don't mean to sound harsh, but why do you want to take a 755 backhoe (750 series) and replace a 765 series backhoe???? There would be no drawings available from Ford as Ford sold off the tractor division to Fiat in the 90's. It would be a miracle if someone had them.

Hello; The reason I want to put the 755 backhoe from my 4500 tlb is that I blew the engine in the 4500 and I don’t have a backhoe for my 555 tractor.
Does anyone know if Ford had any kind of adapter plates for the 755 style backhoe to their newer style? The 550 tractor could mount the 755 style backhoe but the 555 had a bolt on style backhoe.
