1969 Ford 5550 Backhoe Project

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and new to restoring heavy equipment. A friend and I recently got our hands on an old backhoe and are attempting to restore. I'm looking for any advice and information I can find. We have part of the shop manual which deals with the transmission and hydraulics so I am looking for parts info and electrical. Schematics would be great as I am an electrical guy and need/want to rewire the whole machine.

Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cool thanks. My email is slkingsley10@gmail.com

Are there any New Holland/Ford gurus on here that know these old Ford 5550's?

what information you needing ?

Anything that I might need to look out for. Best place to get parts. Etc.

It runs great but won't move. We believe that the hub off the torque converter is the culprit but are open to other suggestions. We are getting ready to pull the motor now.

DID YOU GET THE ELECT WIRING DIAGMANS?

Yes I did. Thanks!

I replied to the email.
