Tracking down parts for a 1985-1988 Ford 555B Tractor Loader Backhoe? This Ford 555B parts catalog PDF packs 525 pages of exploded views and factory part numbers for every system on the machine. You get complete parts breakdowns for the engine, hydraulics, drivetrain, cab, and backhoe boom, each paired with exploded diagrams showing exactly how components stack together. Front axles, torque converter transmissions, loader control valves, fuel injection pumps, electrical harnesses: every assembly comes apart on paper down to the last O-ring, gasket, and cotter pin, with Ford part numbers you can hand straight to your dealer. Identify the correct relief valve by its 2400 PSI rating, or confirm your machine takes the 28.5 GPM hydraulic pump before you order. No more squinting at a worn casting and hoping the number matches. Bookmarked with a full text layer; type the part number, jump to the diagram, order once.

Ford New Holland 555B Tractor Loader Backhoe Common Problems This Manual Covers
Ford 555B transmission slipping, no forward or reverse, need clutch pack and suction screen part numbers
Check the drivetrain exploded view on page 150 to identify the forward and reverse clutch packs and the suction screen by callout number. Match each callout to the parts list for your serial number range before ordering. If the charge pump is suspect, verify the 28.5 GPM pump assembly listing on page 222.
Manual Section: Drivetrain Parts Diagram p. 150Hydraulics weak and erratic, need unload valve and relief valve part numbers before teardown
Check the unload valve and manifold exploded view starting on page 105. Identify each valve by its callout before you split the manifold; the relief valve assembly rated 1100 PSI is listed separately on page 112. Order the O-rings and seals in the same pass so the manifold only comes apart once.
Manual Section: Unload Valve & Manifold p. 105Steering hard both directions, can't tell power steering pump from main hydraulic pump when ordering
Check the power steering pump and reservoir breakdown on pages 32 to 34. The steering pump is its own 1600 PSI unit, listed on page 33, separate from the main hydraulic pump. Compare the reservoir and valve callouts against the parts on your machine before ordering the pump assembly or seal kit.
Manual Section: Power Steering Pump & Reservoir p. 32Engine cranks slowly when warm, need starting motor drive and solenoid part numbers before pulling the starter
Check the starting motor breakdown on pages 269 to 275 for the drive and solenoid callouts, then match them to the parts list for your engine. Rule out the battery first; the manual lists a 138 Amp battery on page 237. If the motor tests bad, order the drive, solenoid, and mounting hardware together.
Manual Section: Starting Motor & Related Parts p. 269Battery goes dead overnight, which alternator assembly and regulator fit this machine
Check the alternator breakdown on pages 276 to 280 before ordering anything. The manual lists 32, 51, and 72 Amp units on page 277 and a 46 Amp unit on page 280, so read the amperage off your alternator tag first, then pick the matching regulator and housing from that parts list.
