Ford 3500
I recently bought what the seller thinks was a 1972 Ford 3500 backhoe, running except (yes there's always an except). The two hoses from the backhoe to the tractor were damaged. I'm trying to find info the plates are well worn, and I can't understand model numbers so I can order the correct book. Also where can I find hoses and can I go ahead and put quick disconnects?

Welcome to TBN!

A 3500 will have dry brakes, drums on the end of the axle.

A 3550 will have wet brakes, inboard on ta 'trumpet' axle
