I recently purchased a Ford 555A backhoe and would like to change the oil. Unfortunately, I can't find any reference to the required oil filter. Would appreciate if someone could please advise me on the filter that fits this machine. Also, would like to know who is the manufacturer of the 3 cylinder diesel engine in the machine. Thanks.

Hi John, What you have is the Ford made 201 ci diesel 3cyl, a great motor, and one that will give you lots of power for the use of your hoe.
The oil filter for your unit is the same as my Ford 555. I use AGCO oil and filters in mine, the number of the AGCO filter is 70237000, you should be able to cross reference this if you wish to go with another supplier. Do you have the manuals for your hoe, if not maybe you should lokk into getting them asap. I bought the Parts, Service, and Operators, all of which are invaluable in maintaining your equipment, should you require more info, post them back here. Good luck, hope this helped. Douglas

Doug,

Thanks so much for the great follow up. This is my first hoe and am really excited to have it. Can you advise me on where I can get the parts and service manuals? I have an operators manual but that"s it.

Thanks,

John

John

Hi John, Glad to be of help, The toll free number for all of the manuals that I have is as follows, 1-800-635-4913.
This a reprint of the original Ford manuals, not a copy, they are far superior to the IT manuals that are out there for a cheaper price,(dont buy).
I live in Canada, and had to pay a good premium for these but they are definately worth every penny. Have had my hoe for about a year now and it works like a charm. Keep it well greased and change the oils very frequently it will serve you well. Best Regards. Douglas
