Ford 750

Hey there I have a 750 ford I bought and didn't pay very much for
It runs great fires right up but when I shift into forward or reverse I lift the rear tires off the ground and rev it up to half- 3/4 throttle and it takes a good minute or two before the fluid fills the torque converter and takes off
Once it's running it pushes into piles fine and drives alright and goes forward and reverse fine but if I shut the machine off for 5 minutes and come back I have to redo the same procedure

Bad torque converter or is there a pump I'm missin a drain valve stick open?
I pulled the filter and started the hoe and it pumped fluid instantly to the filter housing
I also changed the filter and no difference
 
work that "T" handled transmission dump valve handle on the dash back and forth a few times to be sure it's all the way in, could be partly hung open
 
Hey there
When I got the hoe I did free up the t handle and pushed it all the way in
Is there adjustment in it if the cable were stretched or damaged not pushing valve all the way back in?

What is this valve? I've got a '73 5550, last year before the 750 came out.

I don't have a T-handle, when I want the hydraulics to move faster, I slip the shuttle to neutral and rev the motor.

So what are they dumping????
 
No your 5550 doesn't have it, on the newer ones it's an electrically controlled solenoid instead of a manual valve,
It's just cutting the flow to the tranny to allow the full power and speed of the of the engine to be directed to the hydraulics
for faster cycle time and power. Even my little 345C has a foot operated switch to operate it, here's what the owners manual says -

So they installed extra pieces, which fail, rust, wear out, go out of adjustment, just so you won't have to move the shuttle lever to neutral???

I'll bet it was Deere that installed one first, and the other manufacturers had to respond, 'cause their customers were getting cr*p from the green fan boies... that they didn't have that extra deal to eliminate the chore of moving the shuttle lever....

I see all these newer machines that have all kinds of extra switches, relays, and other gizmos that fail and the owner is trying to figure out why the tractor won't move.

Then I think about my old beast, with none of that, and how easy and direct it is to diagnose.

I'd like to find the engineers and marketing weasels that think all the extra junk is better and whack them upside the head; maybe knock some sense into them. LOL
 
Yea I also have a 5500 I just put an engine in and
the trans has been flawless
The 750 works great just this little issue I would like
to sort out
If it needs a Tc I don't mind putting one in in just
unsure how to test it properly to know that it's
working or not

The torque convertor and to some extent the tranny were the only weak points in a 5500 or 5550..both came from England.

The torque convertors were seriously expensive; talked to a guy 20+ years ago that spent $1500; he couldn't get a complete one, so he had to buy all the individual parts and that came to $1500.

I was running mine, a guy that had been around the block told me the 5550 would still be running when we were all dead..those things were vastly overbuilt....
