Hi guys! new to the site. I recently purchased a Ford Backhoe I do not know the year to get parts or manual:Banghead. It needs alot of TLC, If someone could help it would greatly appreciated. the pics are too large to upload Tractor # Serial C382986 Model # D5011F
Shrink the pics and post them we need to see..
Yes us ford TLB guys need to see pics!:yup:yup Did a quick search, sounds like a 4500.
I think the "unit" number is needed to determine the year.
Your ford backhoe is a 4500 diesel, no PTO, trans (F) is 4/4 T-C Power Reversing, built at Highland Park. D5011F D= 4500, 50 = Industrial, 1 = diesel, 1= no PTO and F is the trans. Look on the block housing 6-8 inches below the right edge of you fuel tank for the production code. It will likely say something like this, 1-3(year), A-M( month),01-31(day), A-C (shift). Good luck with your machine.
I looked up your serial number, your machine was likely built in the second half of 1973.
hi, enjoying all your knowledge. I am new to the game and have the same Model D5011F, Tractor Number C213114, Unit 8H16B, Engine 8F21a. I believe it is a 4cyl Diesel, not sure of year. I am having power issues, sometimes it wont go forward or reverse. I filled the filler at my feet with Hydraulic fluid, not sure if suppose to fill all the way to top, then I can drive forward and reverse again, but still not really enough power to plow, back blade, although when parked the hoe works great for its age, a little quick, wobbly on the levers, but a lot of that is me, lol. I have used 5 gallons of fluid in a couple of hours. it is leaking around the top outer seal, and now coming out heavy at base of gear shifter. Any ideas what to do. I am confident it must be a 4500 from your info, so would you know where I could get a repair manual and parts/ thanks
let me know how you make out. I just purchased one as well. Alberta, Canada. Jeff [email protected]
If you filled the transmission all the way to the top, there's the reason for your leak. There is a small pipe plug about halfway down on the side that is your oil level.
Thanks, I didn't fill to top, but definitely over filled. is there something I can do for easier starting as I have had to get help the last two times and had to bleed the injectors. Can I add something to clean or?? My engine, is a 3 cylinder diesel, so what is the motor size??
