Ford 555E Tractor Loader Backhoe Parts List (1996–)

This Ford 555E parts catalog covers 1996 and newer four-cylinder tractor loader backhoes in 2WD and 4WD configurations. More than 50 numbered assembly drawings connect components to part numbers, quantities, and applicability notes. It supports parts identification and repair planning; it is not a step-by-step workshop manual.

Searchable Parts Listings and Section Bookmarks

Finding figures and parts: The figure index and parts listings support text search, while some lettering within illustrations is not searchable. Embedded bookmarks open the figure-search guide, index, main parts section, and reference appendices. Small callouts in dense assembly drawings are easier to read when enlarged.

One printable 736-page PDF contains 709 pages of parts figures and listings. The total includes 10 preliminary pages with the figure-search guide and eight-page index, one blank page, a 14-page abbreviation guide, and two hardware-conversion pages.

Engine, Drivetrain, and Loader Parts

These selected catalog sections outline the coverage. Other entries include mechanical quick couplers and optional cold-start equipment.

• Engine and fuel systems: Parts breakdowns for cylinder heads, pistons, crankshafts, injection pumps, water separators, and emissionized engine conversion kits.

• Power-Shuttle transmission: Numbered illustrations identify torque-converter components, reverse-idler gears, input and output shafts, clutch parts, and internal shift controls.

• Axles, brakes, and steering: Separate listings cover front-axle configurations, rear brakes, master cylinders, steering motors, and adjustable or non-adjustable steering columns.

• Loader and backhoe hydraulics: Pump, control-valve, stabilizer, and cylinder listings include 4-in-1 bucket clams, H.E.D. auxiliary valves, and hydraulic hammer circuits.

• Electrical components: Bosch and Iskra starter breakdowns accompany alternator, fuse/relay-panel, battery-cable, and engine, chassis, and cab harness listings.

• Cab and operator station: Illustrated parts coverage includes ROPS platforms, heating and air-conditioning assemblies, and KAB and Grammer suspension and air-ride seats.

The catalog is suited to mechanics and owners who can identify their installed assemblies and use serial-number applicability notes when selecting replacement parts.

Axle, Brake, and Steering Identification

Serial-specific listings help distinguish replacement components before parts are ordered. Rear-axle tables separate Power-Shuttle and Power-Shift assemblies, including changes to trumpet housings, brake housings, and attaching hardware.

The “Brake Hydraulics” figures include a warning against mixing master-cylinder designs. Steering-column drawings distinguish the non-adjustable Power-Shuttle arrangement from the adjustable Power-Shift arrangement, with separate steering-motor breakdowns.

Engine Builds and Transmission Coverage

Emissionized engines: The catalog identifies the change beginning at serial number 31009910 and separates relevant piston, cylinder-head, timing-cover, fuel-system, and cooling-line parts. An emissionized engine conversion kit is listed for replacement of a non-emissionized engine.

Fuel-injection coverage differs by engine build. Non-emissionized pump figures break down the governor, drive shaft, hydraulic head, automatic advance, and shut-off components. The emissionized injection-pump listing directs service-parts inquiries to a Lucas dealer.

Transmission scope: Internal transmission figures cover Power-Shuttle. Power-Shift references distinguish related axle, steering, control, electrical, and cab components. “Power-Shuttle, Reverse Idler Shaft & Gears” identifies individual shafts, spacers, bearings, and shim options; the listed dimensions are parts-selection data.

Hydraulic Connections and Electrical Harnesses

Need to track down a hydraulic line? The catalog identifies loader and backhoe hoses, stabilizer piping, bucket hydraulics, and auxiliary connections. The “Control Valve Assembly” drawing separates dipper, bucket, swing, and boom sections. “Hydraulic System for Backhoe Hammer - Front” identifies the associated hoses, fittings, valve group, and foot-control components.

The “Main & Instrument Harness” drawing shows harness branches and component connections. Electrical illustrations are parts-identification and installation-layout views, rather than circuit-level wiring diagrams or electrical troubleshooting charts.

Cylinder listings flag assemblies that require matched gland, piston, and seal-kit updates. The hardware appendix also distinguishes permissible fastening substitutions from incompatible metric/inch threaded connections, which can damage threads if mismatched.

Always verify heavy equipment procedures against current factory service data and ensure safety protocols are followed before initiating any shop repairs.

Examples of Seal Dimensions and Fastener Listings

Brake-hydraulics listings specify a 90-Duro O-ring with a .351" inside diameter and .072" thickness. The 2WD front-axle listing includes a 90-Duro O-ring with a .489" inside diameter and .070" thickness.

Hardware descriptions include M10x1.25x20 brake-pedal bolts and M20 x 1.5 x 100 front-axle screws. These catalog dimensions support replacement-part identification; they are not inspection limits or workshop adjustment specifications.
