Ford555 BACKHOE THROTTLE LINKAGE HELP

[AlanB]

I know you said it in the first post, but without some fairly serious deconstruction I don't see how to get in there for a picture.

The gas pedal goes into the firewall and enters the land of away.

Any luck looking on the websites?

no luck as yet,tried these two sites,but nothing,and to add more confusion,it seems the U.S spec 555's have quite afew diferences,some U.S models dont even hav a cab,only a roll cage.
Anyway,I have found that there is deffinatley a part of the hand lever linkage missing,the linkage comes through the firewall from the dashboard,down (behind the fuel tank) to the linkage that pivots on the gearbox,here the hand linkage rod connects to a ball socket,and from the other end,via another ball socket and rod to the fuel pump.part of this linkage is missing on mine as theres only one ball socket,possibly this is that part that links up the foot throttle(gas pedal) also.This was never connected as far as i can remember when i got the 555,so I have no idea what the part looks like.If i can get it hooked up with fabricating my own brackets and have it working on the hand throttle for now ,ill be happy.

Nothing???????

It looks like the complete linkage schematic along with the part numbers and pricing if needed.
:confused2:
The dropdown lets you select which 555 you have and if you think its about and 84 then it should be a 555a.

No problem, it's amazing how a "Mystery Part" can hang around for a long time until one day "So thats what thats for"
My dozer came with a box of them as well and until I got the service manual they were a mystery to me as well.

Good luck with your 555.
I know my 655 has been one of the best pieces of equipment I have ever owned even after I dumped it into my pond.
Just keep the front hydraulic pump ujoints well lubed.
