Ford 555D Tractor Loader Backhoe Parts Manual 1993–1996

This Ford 555D tractor loader backhoe parts catalog covers 1993–1996 machines with exploded assembly views, numbered parts lists, quantities, and application notes. Its scope is component identification for maintenance and repair; written disassembly, testing, and overhaul procedures are not included.

Searchable Parts Lists and Figure Navigation

Search and drawing detail: Parts-list text and figure headings are searchable; image-based callouts within illustrations are outside the text search. Embedded bookmarks open the figure index, parts catalog, and reference appendices, without individual assembly bookmarks. Small callouts in the electrical parts illustrations are readable when enlarged.

One printable PDF in English contains 494 pages total: 470 catalog pages, five figure-index pages, one search-instruction page, and 16 pages of abbreviation and hardware-conversion appendices. The total also includes one additional opening page and one blank page.

Engine, Drivetrain, and Backhoe Parts Lookup

These are selected catalog sections, rather than the complete figure index. Other entries include instrument clusters and swivel and suspension seats.

• Engine and fuel: Cylinder block and head, crankshaft, piston and bearing options, DPS rotary injection-pump breakdowns, injectors, cooling components, and air-cleaner assemblies.

• Axles, steering, and brakes: Wheel assemblies, 4WD differential and reduction gears, TRW and Cascade steering cylinders, differential-lock linkage, and transmission-mounted and twin-cable handbrake layouts.

• Transmission: Cases, covers, clutch and input shaft, countershaft and output gears, shift forks, shuttle controls, torque converters, proportional valves, and cooler connections.

• Loader hydraulics: Pump, reservoir, filters, two- and three-spool control valves, individual bucket and lift sections, auxiliary sections, and conversion-kit contents.

• Backhoe equipment: Center-pivot and sideshift structures, boom and cylinder assemblies, extendable dipstick components, stabilizers, and general-purpose and high-capacity buckets.

• Electrical and cab: Harness-location illustrations, starter and alternator breakdowns, roof wiring, cab and ROPS mounting parts, heater assemblies, and Sanden compressor and clutch listings.

Suited to technicians and experienced owners who can match figure callouts and application notes to the installed equipment when selecting replacement parts.

Matching Engine, Axle, and Transmission Parts

Shared engine tables distinguish 555D applications from turbo-engine entries for other named models. Turbocharger assembly and related-parts illustrations are included, but their presence does not make every turbo component applicable to a 555D.

Exploded views of the 4WD front support, differential box, and reduction gears are paired with bearing, seal, and hardware entries. Axle identifiers and component-specific serial breaks help distinguish parts that cannot be selected by model name alone.

Transmission drawings show gear trains and synchronizers. The front-cover parts list also contains a grouped replacement note for the pump, gear, and bearings, providing information for checking which components belong together in a parts order.

Hydraulic Cylinders and Equipment Options

Cylinder listings identify coordinated changes to glands, pistons, seals, and repair kits. Some loader bucket-cylinder replacement notes also call for new hoses and tubes, so the cylinder itself may be only part of the required order.

The extendable dipstick pages separate inner and outer channels, slide strips, shims, and extension-cylinder components. Sideshift sections add carriage-clamp valves and hydraulic manifolds, while control-conversion illustrations identify the associated linkage and hardware.

Always verify part numbers and follow proper hydraulic pressure-relief procedures before replacing components. Raised loader equipment requires proper support.

Electrical Illustrations and Cab Components

The LH and RH electrical views show harnesses and component positions. These are parts-location illustrations; circuit-level wiring diagrams and electrical fault-finding procedures are outside this catalog’s scope.

Cab sections distinguish glazing, mounting hardware, heater components, and ROPS frame parts. The Sanden compressor section provides R12 component listings and an R134 assembly entry whose internal components are not serviced separately.

Hardware Identification

The hardware-conversion appendix excludes tapped holes and mixed metric/inch nuts and bolts from its interchangeability guidance. Confusing these thread systems can damage fasteners or threaded components.

Examples of Piston and Clutch Part Sizes

For the 555D, the piston listing includes .020-inch (.508 mm) and .040-inch (1.016 mm) oversize piston, pin, and retainer kits. These are replacement-part sizes, not cylinder wear limits.

The transmission clutch listing identifies separate disc entries in 2.30 mm, 2.44 mm, and 2.60 mm thicknesses, each associated with its own part number for component identification.
