Hello
I already posted this once but apparently it didnt go anywhere. My name is Luke. I recently purchased what I was told is a 1958 Industrial Ford 1841 with loader and backhoe. I am seeking help because this is my first tractor and over the years I learned these forums are a wealth of information. So here is what Im trying to figure out.
Issue 1
The factory backhoe did not come with quick disconnects which renders the 3 point hitch useless. So I think I found a place to buy fittings but any suggestions would be useful. Also, someone mentioned that I may not be able to just terminate the lines with quick connects but actually might have to loop the lines not to burn out the hydraulic pump.
Issue 2
The power steering doesnt match any diagram I have found for 1801, 841 or 801 am I looking in the wrong place. I will attach pictures but if someone has access to diagram that would be great. I need to do some maintenance on the front steering. Specifically, the rod that seems to connect the wheel hub to the steering frame. Again, my terminology may be way off so I will attach pictures soon.
Thank you in advance for any help
