1957 445 industrial w/backhoe and loader for sale B/O

Engine runs strong, but has main bearing rap. I just rebuilt the top end - valve job, rings, rod bearings. Has new clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing and throwout bearing fork. Also has new brakes, re-cored radiator, rebuilt water pump, rebuilt carb, and new intake/exhaust manifold. Sheet metal is good, paint rough. Ampli-torc doesn't slip

Backhoe valve needs replacing, front valve weeps a little. I installed a new hydralic pump with priority flow divider for the power steering, I have the original tandem pump. Pins and bushings for backhoe and front bucket need replacing. Most of the hydralic lines have been replaced. Pistons are good, but the dipper piston has some pitting from rust.

One of the rear rims broke in half. I made a new one with 3/4 plate and shelby tubing, works, but its not original. Rubber is fair. Boths seats are junk.

I have at least $1500 in new parts. It is located in Southeastern Mass.

I can provide pictures if wanted.

Thanks in advance,

That was very informative. I was hoping for an easier solution but when you are dealing with a tractor that is as old as I am, nothing is so simple.

Thanks again,

Larry

For the driveshaft to pump adapter, my driveshaft was 1" with a 3/16" keyway (would have been nice to have a 1/4 keyway). I had a local shop take a 1" coupling, and a 7/8" 13 splined coupling and, using a lathe enlarged one end of the splined coupling to accept the 1" coupling, then they pressed the couplings together, welded, then shortened the whole thing to what I needed. They also had to broach a 3/16 keyway in the 1" side. It would have been easier if the pump also had a 1" shaft.

The flow divided is a standard adjustable priority flow divider.

You can get the pump and flow divider at either Northern Hydraulics (www.northerntool.com) or from Burdens Surplus Center, no website, I don't have the number off hand. They have a wider selection of pumps and dividers. They also have "tandem pumps"; one mount is SAE "B", with a mounting surface on the back of the pump for mounting an SAE "A" pump. You can use a 15gpm pump for main hydraulics, and a smaller 5gpm for power steering, the only problem is you have to put a supply line from the tank to each pump.

Feel free to ask if you have any more questions
