    Antique Case Hydraulic Pump Upgrade

    Hello everyone, Looking for those who are more experience with this sort of thing than I am.

Now of course this pump was...

    Ford 655D swing Cylinder seals

    I have a leaking swing cylinder on my 1994 Ford 655D and need seals. There seems to be seal kits available for the Ford 655C swing cylinder but not the Ford 655D swing cylinder and some of the info creates a doubt in my mind as to whether or not the Ford 655C swing cylinder is identical to the...

    Ford 555E Hard to Start - Fix Video

    I have owned a 1998 Ford New Holland 555E for 3.5 years and it has always been a pain in the ass to start.

    Ford 555E Swing Cylinder Rebuild

    Hey ya'll, I wanted to make a post and share out a video I made on rebuilding the swing cylinders on my 1998 Ford / New Holland 555E backhoe. It seemed like it would be a tall task but ended up being easier then expected. If anyone is looking to do the same feel free to ask any questions!
