Glad you can help a friend.. Ford Industrial. Many cool features but super heavy. Get used to making up draft carb gaskets. Yes 2 at a time so a spare is always handy. People love your channel and I do too. Best to the dogs. Thanks.
That backhoe is made for that tractor. My grandfather had the exact one. You have to put the bucket back and lift the back as you back up on the trailer. It’s an art for sure. Good luck on the restore. That’s a great piece of Ford history right there.
Just found this video after looking at so many more just to find what I've been looking for. This make and year. Just bought one ( identical) runs. Just leaks oil and hydraulic fluid. I'm looking for where you poor in the oil, hydraulic fluid and fix the clutch boot because it's leaking crazy lots. Thanks for doing this video!! So glad I found it.
We have one like that in diesel. 1963 was the first year Ford made those. On the diesel the 1963 has the sheet metal radiator cover making it very light in the front end. In 1964 Ford made the radiator cover or nose piece in cast iron. It weighs about 500 lbs and should bolt right on if you can find one. It makes them a lot more stable and you can drive it forward without the wheels coming off the ground as easy. Until you find one keep a load of dirt or gravel in the bucket when you are trying to drive it. They are a pain to work on especially the engine. They are a stout machine for diging when the out riggers are down. Watch for cracks on the stick and boom and keep them welded up. Have fun with it. Also you need to keep it under a shed or good tarp or it will get rain in the transmission and hydraulics. There is a vent on the loader frame near the loader controls or maybe opposite side from the loader controls. Take the vent out to add hydraulic oil to the loader and backhoe. It's a separate system than the rear-end and transmission with the pump under the fan running off the front of the crankshaft if the gas is like the diesel.
yeah we have one as well, and ive found if you ever get in a spot where your losing traction just lower the hoe down a bit and it makes a world of difference, tho you have to watch out as you can sink it faster that way
Nice to see you back. That old girl was built tough the stuff they build today out of china steal rust quick and fall apart gerat jub you guy gave her new life.
Always awesome. I bought a Ford 6600 tractor and I am trying to bring it back to life. I came across your channel searching for information and inspiration and I am certainly inspired. Now I truly believe that it can run again. Blessings
Glad you’re back! Was starting to get worried about you. Watching all of these, especially Old Red, inspired me to buy a 55 year old Case 530 Construction King backhoe and restore it!
I had a Case Construction King back in the '70's. Very good machine. The only weakness was a delay in the shuttle clutch making for some scary side hill work.
They do work. Also hell to work on. If you have the standard type dry clutch, they don't last long. Get the parts now, keep the next set on hand. You will get good at splitting it ...
Already resealed and repacked all leaking cylinders, rebuilt steering, now replacing brakes, and all differential seals and axle bearings. It is a dry clutch with no shuttle.
Jerry I have a 1978 Dynahoe 190- 2 wheel drive. A 353-Detroit I ran one in 79 on a main line sewer job, when I worked 302 union. I dug sidesewer stubs behind mainline crew. Then used it with mainline crew for hoe pack The company had a 680case & 780case hoepacking, they broth broke down, so they switch me to hoepacking. It was funny we had a 160Poclain, digging sidesewer stubs, I personally thought the company should have put that machine as hoepack, but the operator for the 160 was a long time company man, and liked sidesewer stubbing in. Anyway liked the Dynahoe so much after running one had to buy one. It had major hydraulic leaks on most of the cylinder seals. No brakes, 1 stabilizer would not raise. Got all that taken care of and now use her in my back yard as my gardening little muskie. Call her that because she was built buy BE. They built big Muskie, Have had her sense 2003, put 100s of hours on her. Once you get these old girls RUNNING, there are so meany jobs that can be done by these old Backhoes. It's overkill for my needs, but I just loved the look and running of the Dynahoes. Mine has the 2 controls for backhoe, not the standard 4 that most had.
I thought I was the only one that works on these old backhoes. I've kept my Fordson Power Major diesel running for 30 yrs. and its 60 yrs. old. You do a great you tube. Keep it up, you're great.
That is a great tracktor. The most versatile piece of kit. Once that tracktor is serviced on all connection point and has run for a couple of hours it will be a marvellous piece of kit once again.
Glad to see you back. So actually that backhoe was Ford's best attempt in 1964 at hanging a backhoe off a farm tractor frame. I have a Ford 4500 that has the exact same backhoe unit on it. You'll find that purchasing the 4400 industrial tractor and backhoe manuals to be indispensable. The next iteration of the Ford industrial backhoes were the 555 series that had a heavy frame with driveline components hung off of it. As you found the pivot on the boom is way to low for loading the machine backwards. The front end is also way to light with no load in the bucket to safely drive onto a trailer frontwards. I found the safest way to load the thing was to pull it on with a winch. You will remember that hydraulic backhoes first came out in the late 50's. This was state of the art at the time. Just wait until you try to remove the backhoe unit from the tractor. It seems harder than it ends up being. You just spill a lot of oil. Before you put it back on put shut off ball valves on the supply and sump lines. The oil reservoir is up above the radiator and keeps the system under gravity pressure. You are lucky to have what look to be descent tires on the thing. A fellow with the M&MS CLASSIC TRACTOR channel was extremely helpful to me as I went thru my machine . Best of luck.
Actually Ford had two different LBH tractors in 64. I own a 1964 Ford 4000 LBH. Much different than this machine. Mine is based on the older 800 series farm tractor. Loader is very similar, but the hoe is a totally different design. On mine, the loader frame is the hydraulic oil reservoir. Pump drives off the front of the crank.
@@notajp My 4500 has a crank driven hydraulic oil pump fed from a tank in the top of the heavy weldment surrounding the radiator. The frame which supports both the loader and the backhoe is hollow and is also an oil reservoir. The 4500 shared a lot of parts with both the Ford 4000 and 5000 farm tractors. What killed mine after I'd had it a few years was moisture got into the transmission oil and bacteria formed a gelatinous mass which completely plugged the oil intake filter inside the transmission. The machine I have has a torque converter which must have a constant supply of oil to work. There is no way to service that internal filter except to split the machine. The external spin on transmission oil filter must have been added as an afterthought/joke by the design staff. From what I have learned from my research is that there are numerous versions of those machine built all designated 4000 < - > 4500 or 5000. M&M's Classic Tractor channel has a great video of him splitting a 4500 and changing the hydraulic clutch pack. I also found an outfit SE. of Boise Idaho that sells the clutch components. Their website is Steeringclutch(dot)com. I had the torque converter remanufactured as well.
Move it and it yours!!!! Challenge?? No it's apparent they don't know you. You and Marty T, whisperers of reviving junkers. Thanks for the new upload, was truly concerned. Health issues.
You just scored big!! That is what they call the triple nickel backhoe. It was tried and true in its day. Very well liked! I have a 1970 4500 and love every minute I get to use it! Consider yourselves blessed with that gift.
The triple nickel is the Ford 555 and the 555 letter series (I have a 555B) that followed. The backhoe in this video was built that way from the factory; it was available in gas or diesel, and yes, the backhoe does look too big for the tractor. I had one before I got the 555, it was diesel. I liked both of them, they worked well for me!
I use to have the same backhoe except mine was a diesel and that is the correct backhoe for that tractor, Ford built them crazy in the early seventies but that sure brings back a lot of memories.
Wow nice video guys.. Operated one exactly like that for a landscape company 38 years ago..minus the hoe..3 point hitch gill scraper box .. Amazing job getting it running thanks for the memories ..
Ran one very similar back in the day. Pretty good gas tractor backhoe. Sure there are diesel units that will out dig it, but ... For lots of jobs it'll do fine. As I recall, it only has about 7:1 compression ratio. Used to run these things on "commercial" gasoline. Often called buss fuel. With modern gasoline, I'd do a 3-angle valve job and shave the head 0.030 to get the CR up and go through distributor to make sure advance is working right ... With a bit more initial and shaved head it'll make more HP and TQ, and get better fuel economy 🙃
Yeah, we’ve missed you. Glad to see you back.
I agree!

Drive it on forward on to trailer
GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK HOW IS OL RED ANXIOUSLY WAITING!!!! : )
Finally you are back so cool I hope you are well, happy return
Brilliant, you're back. You've been missed mate.
Hope you and the family are all well.

My Grandpa had two of those when I was a kid. I can still smell it.

A cement contractor I worked for back in the sixties, had one, but it was l larger and had Construction King on it also! Was it a larger model?
They always used to back them on and put the bucket in the dump body of the truck. Around here anyway.
Exactly. My grandfather did the same thing. Such memories! 😊

Cool save. If you can move it, you can have it, is just the right price. Thanks for sharing.
Glade to see you back missed you great video enjoyed it thanks for your time and share with us.
Glad to see you haven't given up on us!
Welcome back, I hope you and family were well and happy

GREAT FIND, GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, SEE YOU ALL NEXT TIME...
So glad you’re finally back on even though it’s helping your friends thanks for sharing
You are the Magician of starting man !!!
I have to agree with all the comments, Good to watch you fix stuff thanks for the videos always.
I'm really glad that you got it running.
It’s awesome to see you back! I have missed your videos of saving this vintage equipment!!
Those were good backhoes in there time! Use to dig pools, septic tanks, or whatever. My Dad had a ‘68, ‘69, and ‘74.
thank goodness you are back I have missed your videos they keep me sane lol.The tractor thought it was safe until the A team turned up. Tom Uk
That is a great tracktor. The most versatile piece of kit.

Thanks for bringing back childhood memories of what my dad ran back in the late 60s. And 70s
He ran 4500 , 6500,and 7500
She’s worth it. Thanks so much for your vlogs
Move it and it yours!!!! Challenge?? No it's apparent they don't know you.
You and Marty T, whisperers of reviving junkers.
Thanks for the new upload, was truly concerned. Health issues.
Yay! Welcome back. Thanks for the video.
Another one saved from the scrap yard. Cheers from eastern TN
Yes, waited for you and old red. Nice to see you again. Regards from Germany.

So good to have you back!
Nice to see ya back!!!
Real good to see you back..
That peppermint smell is Marvel Mystery Oil.
The scent you got was oil of wintergreen. Comes in every bottle of MMO
Great you are back,from New Zealand 🇳🇿

Amazing job getting it running
thanks for the memories ..
You're back! Greetings from Poland!
Good to see you're back!!! Good video
so happy to have you back
Hey! Very happy to see you back! Looking forward to more.
That's what they used to put on those style tractors for a backhoe
Good to see you again from Jim Sydney Austral
Nice to see old equipment brought back to working
So happy your back making videos.
What nice score.. Great job
Glad to have you back making great content!

Missed you big time need more videos.
Excellent! That was very entertaining.
Good to see you back in action
Yeah! Good to have you back!
Glad you guys are snagging these and bringing life to them. Love to have one myself someday.
I can not speak for the backhoe, but I had the same tractor it was a 1971. Good Luck & Thanks
Great video I’m glad your back !
glad to see you not been here for a time thanks keep up the good works hope to get the cat done good stuff
Glad to see you!
Missed this channel, glad you are back.

This may be an old video but it's a goodie really enjoyed the wear and tear in That you guys put in to get that operational Kudos to all of you
Thank you for your video.
Nothing but the best, unless the price is right! Enjoyed, cheers!
Yeah where you been man, good to see you rescuing old iron again. Health and wealth from Scotland
Dude. Where you been? Your one of my favorites. Glad your back
Those backhoes are indispensable no surprises regarding the hydraulic
Awesome your are back - missed the clips and the great tips . Def want more on big red - keep at it
Brutal !!
Waiting for nex episode
Thank you very much for share
I’m glad your back.
Welcome back man glad to see the videos are coming out again 👍😆
