1981 Ford 555 Backhoe Transmission Issues Part 2 (Tearin' her down)

In this video I walk you through the beginning process of getting ready to separate a Ford 555 Backhoe.

[@justjames9775]

About to do the same thing to the 555 that I just bought. I purchased it knowing that it has shuttle issues. Works OK when it is cold, but as soon as the transmission gets warmed up, it won't move.

Thank you so much for making these videos, I have a ford 555b with the same issues and am currently tearing it down. How did you get the top plate off of the transmission, there is a rod coming form the forward and reverse that is running through part of that top plate and I cannot get it off.

To be honest, it’s been a couple years since I did it. I know exactly what rod you’re referring to but I’m not certain how I overcame it. Sorry.

[@WallaceRoseVincent]

I love it too. If she leaves you, I'll drive her home.

On a 555 ford swing cylinder how do I get the line off got it lose on both ends but it is clamped to side of cylinder and can't figure out how to get it loose

[@mytaborcityhome1002]

Are you referring to the cylinder that pushes the boom out or the cylinder for steering the front tires?

[@fredoliver4209]

@@mytaborcityhome1002 The one's underneath that push the boom side to side

[@mytaborcityhome1002]

I’ll have to climb under mine and take a look. I’ve never swapped those out. May take a couple days but I’ll get back to you

In addition to setting up and equipment repair playlist on my channel to put the three videos on the breakdown, I saved your entire tractor playlist to my channel in case it would help someone else and bring them to yours
