have a 555 ford backhoe year about 1978 and trying to figure out dash symbols. The symbol is an arrow with a dotted line across it. The light comes on when moving and machine at full throttle, idle back and it goes out. Any ideas ? Thanks Littleloon
 
Thanks very much, been having some issues with the shuttle shift in that it doesn't always go forward but will do reverse, thought symbol had to do with oil flow never thought about air flow. Thanks littleloon
 
That's probably some o-rings in the transmission. Had a B that wouldn't go proper til warmed up, and it was still hit and miss. Easy to change once you get to them, but typical of a Frod backhoe, you have to tear the machine apart to get there.

MY 555 goes back and forth when oil is cold, once warmed up it may not go forward but will always go back. Sometimes if lift a rear wheel it will suddenly start to rotate forward and may be good for a few minutes to several hours. I have replaced transmission and only difference is a modulator valve instead of the blocker valve the original transmission had. Have been wondering about o-rings but as you said its a major tear down to get to it. Thanks for the reply and suggestion. Littleloon
