Ford 555B

Hi all,

I borrowed an old Ford 555B backhoe, and not long after firing it up, I blew a hydraulic line. It's in a remote location, and I didn't have any tools out there to get the hose off. It's the hose that goes from under the seat to the cylinder that curls the bucket. Does anyone know what size fitting is in there and what type threads it uses? If I don't get another one before 5 tomorrow, I'm out of luck until Monday...

Which hose blew?

Second one from the bottom. One connected to the curl of the bucket.

One is likely 15/16" or 1" The other may be 13/16 or 7/8. Take a hand full of wrenches and pull it. You will need it to have a replacement made.
