What This Workshop Service Manual Gives the Technician

The Ford 455C 555C 655C Tractor Loader Backhoe Workshop Service Manual covers every major system on these machines with the depth required for complete tear-down, inspection, repair and re-assembly. Engine coverage spans both the 3-cylinder 201 cu.in diesel used in the 455C and the 4-cylinder 256/268 cu.in diesel used in the 555C and 655C, including turbocharged variants. Each engine chapter includes cylinder head service, valve and seat reconditioning, piston and ring fitting, crankshaft and main bearing measurement, camshaft and timing gear service, oil pump overhaul and complete lubrication system specifications.

Fuel system coverage includes complete overhaul and test procedures for both the DPA and DPS distributor type fuel injection pumps, injector overhaul for both the 455C and 555C/655C injectors, turbocharger service and air cleaner maintenance. The electrical section covers the A127 55 amp alternator with integral regulator, starting motor overhaul, battery testing and complete wiring schematics.

Power reversing transmission coverage includes both the 4 x 4 synchronised transmission and the 8 x 8 fully synchronised power reversing transmission with detailed procedures for the torque converter, hydraulic pump, oil distributor, solenoid control valve, modulator unit, hydraulic clutch assemblies, synchronisers and gear trains. Rear axle coverage includes the axle shaft assembly, planetary reduction gears, wheel brakes, differential and differential lock, drive pinion and brake pedal linkage. Steering coverage includes the hydrostatic steering motor, power steering pump and reservoir, two wheel drive and four wheel drive front axles, and the transfer gear assembly.

The hydraulic section is extensive — it covers the hydraulic circuits, reservoir, filter and oil cooler, hydraulic pump, backhoe and loader control valves, swing system, hydraulic cylinders, flow restrictor valves, backhoe and loader frames, hoses and tubes, plus comprehensive hydraulic trouble shooting and pressure testing procedures. The manual also includes the complete cab section covering air conditioning components.

Each chapter includes detailed specifications, torque values, wear limits, clearances and special tool references so every measurement can be checked against the factory figures.

Why This Manual Matters

Correct service procedures and accurate specifications are critical when working on Ford 455C, 555C and 655C backhoe loaders. Using the wrong torque figure, bearing clearance or hydraulic pressure setting can lead to premature failure, costly component damage or unsafe machine operation. This Ford 455C 555C 655C Workshop Service Manual provides the exact procedures and specifications needed to complete repairs correctly the first time, whether you are servicing a single machine or running a repair shop.

The manual is organized so that each system can be studied and repaired independently. Detailed illustrations and exploded views show how components fit together, and step-by-step removal, disassembly, inspection, re-assembly and installation procedures guide the technician through every stage. The troubleshooting charts help diagnose problems quickly, and the pressure testing sections give the exact figures needed to verify hydraulic and fuel system performance.

This is not a general-purpose guide — it is the specific workshop service manual for the Ford 455C, 555C and 655C Tractor Loader Backhoe models, and it covers the real procedures used by Ford New Holland technicians in the workshop.
