It's a Ford 4500 Industrial Tractor made from 1965-1975 available in a gas or diesel version. They were yellow in color and sold to town works and the like. You guys make a great team ! Have a Blessed Day !

That old 3 cylinder 3.3l ford was the soundtrack to my childhood and youth. Great engine and good to hear again. Thanks Hank!

[@tiffanydoss611]

This is awesome to see. We just bought the Same machine in Michigan. Motor was locked up from sitting. Took 3 hours to get unsized. Have to get the carbon gaskets for putting the injectors back in. We may have to make a video of it

[@MinchoffGomorkovsky]

I actually have this same backhoe and it's been sitting in a shed for a few years so this video comes in handy as I want to get it running again. Last time it was running it seemed to be either leaking or pumping diesel fuel out the fuel tank when the engine was running. Otherwise all in working order. Bought it at auction from our school district complete with all the mechanics manuals for $3,000. Engine was completely rebuilt just before it went to auction. Thanks for the great video - really enjoyed it.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks for watching!

[@spencersand2754]

Florida is a gold mine of old machines

[@KEIFabrication]

Looks like a Ford 4500. The predecessor to the 555. These were super powerful backhoes and know for having enough power to rip them selves apart. I have a 1975 Ford 4500 and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Very efficient, powerful machines. The perfect "home owner" machine. The torque converter trans acts as a shuttle shift and makes it really easy to operate.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Keep watching 👍

[@MrBruce0777]

I have the same backhoe I just started working on but mine is a 3500 Ford. I always attempt to have some way of putting out a fire when ever possible. In the field I started a fire under an 8n gas tank inches away.....I always give slight misty sprays of ether starting fluid WHILE the motor is turning over. If you spray to much you can lock up the motor. Great video as always guys...It's a great feeling bring on back to life like a ford 3000 loader we just brought back from the dead after a couple years sitting. LOL had two Gallons of water in the hydraulics..NO LIE ....Possibly being saved from the junk yard demon.

[@hammertime7721]

I never thought I would get so excited to see videos of old equipment starting. But, here I am and I absolutely look forward to them. Those old pieces of equipment bring me back to my youth.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Right on! Glad you enjoyed it

[@neil6212]

Amazing thing that you manage to start nearly ALL of them, even when given up for dead! Back when I was mostly driving junk and doing first starts like yourselves, I learned a couple of things I really should have taken along with me...first, a nice length positive and negative battery cables, preferably the good, heavy 6 volt ones. Then a battery terminal cleaning brush, and a pair of battery pliers, plus a couple pair of "military type" bolt on battery terminals. Don't forget the wasp and hornet spray, and the DEET insect repellent. And, never just pound the terminals on and expect it to be a good enough connection! Now days however, I still carry around a hammer crimper, wire terminals and a lot of other crap I never use! But then, I'm nearly 80 and somewhat limited, but still love old machinery, and watching other folks work on it!!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks Mr. Neil. I appreciate the comment. Have a good day 👍

[@garrettaday1718]

I got the exact same backhoe! They are some tuff pieces of equipment

[@HuserHelpers]

I know this is an old video, but I really enjoyed watching it. Dad has an old Case 780 and this video triggered a memory of starting it last time 5 years ago. It is a pile of junk, but I picked up a lot of rock and sticks into the bucket of it in my youth. You all have a great channel. Congrats on 100K - Jason

Howdy Hank. Love all your videos up here in Prosser Washington ((state). My day started his septic tank business ages ago in the 60s into the 90s. Sorry to say we lost him at 86 years of age in Jan 2015. Dad started out with a Massey-Ferguson backhoe but after that, he stayed with Case and then he bought a new John Deere 310. I enjoy all your videos! Keep the videos coming! Gods Powerful Blessings to you and all of your families ❤️❤️

That’s the way all the 4500 535 555s backhoe attachments were. Made it easier to work on. Started my operating career in the early 70s on the old chain swing 4500s,which is exactly what your working on.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

[@shirleyquibell7199]

That is sooo friggin' cool! Right on guys! I was waiting for you two to cook that engine, I,m glad you both decided to fix the starter and not turn it over, again, for now. It sounded great when you 1st cranked it up, I was jumping up and down in my chair, I think I was happier than you 2! But the 2nd time, oh boy, it didn't sound so good. It's amazing just the same though eh? Sitting in rain storms,etc, for all those years! Wow! Thankyou both for that and you two be safe, ok? I don't know how that camera lady puts up with you both!😂🤣!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks Terry. Have a good one brother 👍

[@RODALCO2007]

Awesome ! wasps, smoking starter and the engine fires up on wasp spray. Priceless ! and everything works. Great video. Good grounding and clean connections are essential for a good working starter. I think the starter brushes are worn or the braids to them have partially gone.

[@_P0tat07_]

God. The idle sound of the engine just. I don’t know how to explain it. But it brings back memories. Sounds like the Perkins engine in our old massey Ferguson backhoe.

[@user-wo7rz3yn4o]

Pulling that starter off is a bugger of a job. Its pretty easy if you have the injector pump off already, but you should have the starter off fitst to get the injector pump off!😬 That tractor is not as old as you might think....I would say early 1970's. I've got one just like it.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks Don👍

[@thegreek8962]

Operated 555 & 755s. They are still some bad ass pieces of iron. That startup was awesome. That 4500 is early to mid 70s..

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks 👍

[@prestige2000rider]

These are great units. Construction firm back home had 2 of these fords. Saw them on many sites around town. Sometimes one fitted with a Allied Air hammer along with a massive Ingersoll truck mounted compressor. Very reliable units

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Right on! Thanks for watching 👍

[@localcrew]

That smoky- ass starter is probably that metal band (not Steel Panther) that goes from the solenoid to the starter terminal. I had been seeing a wisp of smoke from the starter on my old loader so I got positioned to where I could see it when I engaged the starter and that turned out to be the source of the smoke. Pulled it apart and I could see where it had been arcing. Five minutes of sandpaper lovin’ and she’s fixed.

@@HamiltonvilleFarm Yes after a posted. The way the loader lift cylinders attach to the loader frame gives a some what age range... And yes back in the day.

[@digndurt6936]

I had a 69 Ford 4500 backhoe. It had a 16 ft hoe by wain roy and that machine was one bad ass digging boss rig. Power and speed best match up I've ever run, that engine wide open, sweet music! The loader arm was broke on left side just like this one, same spot. They pushed it back together and welded it never lined it back up level and miserable to clean up with. One tough repair, I was happy to have oldt timer fabricator/ welder on it. He cut all but about a half inch of boom out and the work began, no easy task by any means. Wasn't off by much when he was done. Best overall TLB I've ever run. It would out dig any machine compatible no doubt about it. I wish I had kept that machine !!

[@LiveToSurvive]

@@HamiltonvilleFarm I did notice after I commented that you found the model once you moved the bucket arms. LOL The 4500 is a good hoe for the year though. I think they were produced from 1965 to 1975. The 4400 Dad had was a 1973.

[@danmackintosh6325]

5:50 guessing that thing's going to be about a 67-68ish year? ISTR that Whitlock Bros. over here used to convert the Ford 3000 or 5000 into a backhoe around then, before J C Bamford's LTD got in on the act and built machines from scratch to go on and become the famous name they are today. The big problem with the Whitlock digger apparently was the rear wheels used to work loose and break a lot due to the smaller bolt pattern (the machine reputedly weighed in around 7.5 tons). Only know this as the fella I used to work for had a pair of Whitlocks, '68 and '69 that he used around the yard.

I'm 99% sure, I own the same backhoe, which I bought off my brother. The thing had been sitting for 8 years, and it started up, right after a little bit of cranking, that was impressive. I'm still learning about this machine, but it has no clutch pedal. It has a "stick shift" for changing the gears, and a "Forward/Reverse" lever next to the steering wheel. With no clutch pedal on the machine, I need to come to a "complete stop", bring the idle speed down to it's lowest minimum, then I can "shift"smoothly without grinding gears.
