Ford 455D–675D Common Problems This Manual Covers
Engine overheats
Check the cheap causes first. Look for a leaking hose connection and tighten it. If the thermostat is faulty, replace it. A radiator cap that is defective or not sealing also gets replaced. If the fan belt adjustment is wrong, readjust it. The engine troubleshooting chart lists all four causes with their fixes.
Manual Section: Engine troubleshooting p. 125Low engine oil pressure
Check the dipstick before you do anything else, and top up if the level is low. If pressure is still low, clean the oil pump sump screen, since a blocked screen starves the pump. If neither helps, install a new oil pressure relief valve. The engine troubleshooting tables walk through these steps in that order.
Manual Section: Engine troubleshooting p. 126No steering or excessive effort required to steer
First make sure the reservoir has the correct grade and quantity of oil. If steering is still heavy, a faulty pump relief valve is the likely cause. Check system pressure against the 2030 - 2100 PSI at 1100 rev/min steering relief figure. If pressure won't come up, inspect the pump for wear and repair it.
Manual Section: Steering troubleshooting p. 629Backhoe lift fails to operate, is slow, loses power or will not hold
Run the lift circuit relief valve pressure test first, because the valve may be stuck open or set low. If relief pressure is good, run the cylinder leakage test to check for piston seal leakage. If the cylinder holds, look for valve spool leakage in the lift section of the backhoe control valve.
Manual Section: Backhoe troubleshooting p. 875Frequently Asked Questions
Does this manual cover my Ford 455D, 555D, 575D, 655D or 675D backhoe loader?
Yes, if it is a D Series machine. This is Ford New Holland Repair Manual 40045541 for the 455D, 555D, 575D, 655D and 675D. The 455D runs the 3-cylinder engine. The 555D to 675D use 4-cylinder engines, with turbo engines on the 575D, 655D and 675D. Net horsepower is 60 for the 455D and 65 for the 555D. The 575D, 655D and 655D Turbo are each rated at 75, and the 675D at 85. C Series machines are not covered. p. 128
What are the Ford 555D to 675D valve clearances and engine oil capacity?
Set the valves with the engine cold. Exhaust is 0.017” - 0.021” (0.43 mm - 0.53 mm) and intake is 0.014” - 0.018” (0.36 mm - 0.46 mm). On the 555D, 575D, 655D and 675D, engine oil is 8 U.S. qts (7.6 L) without the filter and 9 U.S. qts (8.5 L) with it. Those same four models hold 4.0 U.S. gals (15.2 L) in the cooling system. The thermostat opens at 168° F. (76° C.). p. 129
What are the Ford D Series hydraulic relief valve settings?
On the 455D and 555D the main system relief valve is 2450 lbf/in² +100 / -0. The backhoe lift cylinder rod end circuit relief is 4600 lbf/in² +150/-0 (317 bar +10.5/-0) at 1400 RPM. Steering relief valve pressure is 2030 - 2100 PSI at 1100 rev/min. Total hydraulic capacity for the backhoe loader is 21.0 US Gal. (79.6 ltrs) (17.5 Imp. Gal). p. 879
What are the Ford D Series transmission oil capacity and line pressure?
On these D Series machines, transmission oil capacity is 4.5 US Gal. (18 litres) (31.7 Imp Pts). Line pressure should read 130 PSI (8.83 bar) (9 kgf/cm²) at 800 RPM. The book covers both the 4x4 and the 8x8 transmissions. Gear ratios and the by-pass valve and cooler pressures are in the transmission specifications. p. 505
Does the manual include wiring diagrams, hydraulic schematics and troubleshooting?
Yes. The electrical section has wiring diagrams for the engine cranking circuit, the instrumentation circuit and the air conditioner, plus the transmission electrical operation diagram. Hydraulic circuit schematics cover both sideshift and center pivot backhoes, along with schematics for individual components. Troubleshooting tables cover the engine, fuel system, turbocharger, electrical system, transmission, PTO, steering, hydraulics and air conditioning. Hydraulic pressure testing procedures are included too. p. 264
