(quoted from post at 14:11:04 05/16/17) Well, we bought a backhoe for a price we couldn't refuse. Can anybody give any detail off this dataplate? It's a 86 I believe and built in France. Any other information is appreciated. The manuals are on the way. Thanks!

How can you tell if it is a 655A and not a 655B? The post above says the LF1 is a 655A and the LF3 is a 655C, the poster then guessed the LF2 that you have must be a 655B and maybe all the B models were made in France?
Thanks

If you search the New Holland parts site for 655A, 655B and 655C, You will find that they never actually made a model 655B tractor (at least there are no parts listings for that model). The 655A was made from 6/85 through 10/88, and the 655C was made from 11/88/8/93.
Sometimes they had a design on the drawing board with a model number/name assigned to that design and decided to never actually produce any, so when they started producing the replacement model for what was already being produced, they skipped a letter. They did the same thing with the 545 series, they went from 545 to 545A to 545C and then to 545D without ever producing a 545B for sale to the public.
They also changed the 3rd character in the model designater without actually changing the model name/number of the tractor a few times. The 2600 was BA1 from 1/65-10/76 and then BA2 from 11/76 until the end of the production run of the 2600 in 1981 when it was replace by the 2610 which was BA3. They did the same with the 3600(CA1 & CA2), 4600(DA1 & DA2), 5600(LA1 & LA2), 6600(EA1 & EA2) and 7600(FA1 & FA2).
I just bought a Ford 655B or else it was painted wrong.

Very interesting. As I have come to learn, don't ever say "always" or "never" when it comes to Ford tractors.If you don't mind me asking, what's the model number on the data plate?
Looks like similar to the guy before and built in France
LF2 and built 5/19/87 on the day shift?
So could this really be a 655A? Need to know for parts and service
Given that the parts site doesn't even list a 655B, using that as the model number when searching for parts is going to be a bust.
7F10B means it was made on June 10th 1987, so my bet would be on calling it a 655A when looking for parts, unless you can find a used hard copy of a parts book for a 655B. The hood and fenders definitely look like the 655A tin from the drawings on the parts site.
Clearly it is painted incorrectly. A 655B, if one exists, would be badged as a Ford, not a New Holland.(quoted from post at 11:27:54 04/18/19)(quoted from post at 05:16:28 04/15/19)(quoted from post at 21:07:35 04/14/19)

Thanks Sean! I will refer to this being a 1987 Ford 655A. What about the stabilizers which are straight vertical as opposed to others that extend outward at an angle?
Could it be, if 655B is real, it was only foreign production?
