Looking for Salvage Yards in Europe

mike48130 · Dec 4, 2019

I have a Ford 550 TLB with the European side shift backhoe. I am looking for a hydraulic valve for the slide clamps. Mine was never used and got water in it and seized. I got it freed up, but not in good shape. I tried the Googler, and can't seem to find many yards over there. These side shifts seemed to be pretty popular over there, so I was hoping to find a good usable valve.

Part number: 81903475

Thanks for any help.

I might have one off a Case if that would work.

I've found this by just running the part number.

https://avspare.com/spare/new.holland/81903475/ Or Messicks also has this part number on their catalogs.

There is a tractor/machinery salvage yard here in Portugal that does stock parts for pretty much any tractor or industrial machine available in Europe.

Here a link for the English website: AGRIPRONTO.COM

Try sending them an email with the parts you need and hopefully they can help you. A word of caution, they are known to be quite pricey on their parts.

On another note, I believe it's just uses a simple 3 way valve that any hydraulic shop should be able to help you.

Thanks.

The AVSPARE web site has 2 request for the parts, but no parts. I am one of the requesters about 8 months ago.

I'm not sure it is a simple valve. It has a second shuttle type spool in it, not sure what that is doing. IT only operates a single acting spring loaded cyl, so it should be, but they have something else going on. I looked at the 555 TLB's, and they have a different version that doesn't mount the same. That is my backup plan to try to find a used on of those. It has the same second shuttle in it as well.
