Frequently Asked Questions

What years was the Ford 555 backhoe made?

Our Ford 555 backhoe guide covers production from 1978 to 1995. Its predecessor, the Ford 550, ran from 1975 to 1978, and the Ford 555A guide covers 1979 to 1986. Each guide also includes serial number information so you can confirm exactly which version you own.

How do I use the serial number to find parts for my Ford 555C backhoe?

Match your machine's serial number against the serial number breakdown in the Ford 555C guide to confirm the model year and which parts apply. Parts can change within a model's production run, so the serial number is the most reliable way to narrow down the correct part. If you are still unsure, call our parts team at (800) 909-7060 to confirm fitment before ordering.

Is a New Holland backhoe the same as a Ford backhoe?

New Holland took over Ford's backhoe line, so many New Holland backhoes continue the Ford lineup. Models such as the 555E, 575E and 655E carry the Ford New Holland name, and later machines like the B95, B110B and B115.B are sold under New Holland. Broken Tractor offers spec and serial number guides for both brand eras, so you can identify your machine regardless of the badge.

What years was the New Holland LB115.B backhoe made?

Our New Holland LB115.B guide covers production from 1998 to 2006. The later New Holland B115.B guide covers 2008 to 2012, which is the newest machine in our Ford and New Holland backhoe guides. Check your serial number against the guide to confirm which model and year you have before choosing parts.

What is included in a Ford New Holland backhoe specs guide?

Each guide covers a single backhoe model and includes production year ranges, a serial number breakdown, key specifications and parts references. We carry guides for Ford models such as the 4500, 455, 550 and 555 through the 555E, as well as the 655 series and New Holland LB and B series machines. The guides are meant to help you identify your exact machine so you can order the right parts.
