Just picked this up today. Not sure on the year is there anyway to tell for sure? Owner thought it was a 69 or 70 he was the second owner but bought it sometime in the 80s.
1982 to 1984
Uhh, the 5500 was made from 1966-1970. Get a serial number and we may be able to get more exact, though the year doesn't matter for ordering parts.
my bad on the 1982 to 1984 http://www.tractordata.com/backhoe-loader/000/2/1/210-ford-5500.html
Thank you. I will try to get a serial number.
It WAS on a tag inside the hood. If that's gone it's on the top front of the bellhousing on the right side.
