Hydraulic leak on Ford 550 Backhoe

Hdz · Mar 11, 2021

Hello
I am a new member on this forum and I live in south of France, and sorry for my poor English.
I own an old Ford 550 backhoe that does me a lot of service.
For some time I have a significant hydraulic leak at the rear excavator rotation motor.
Someone had this case?
Do you have the part number of the seal kit to replace?
thank you very much for your help
Best regards

Hdz the ford 550 backhoes in the US have center mount hoes. These hoes use a two ram rotation, not a swivel motor. I saw this thread though I could help as I have spend some time working on a 550, however it has a different hoe than yours. If you can find the tag on the hoe that has the model number, perhaps we could help more.
