I have a 1979 Ford 555 Backhoe that workers amazing other then the 3.3L diesel appears to Be blown.
Stock Engine Detail:
Ford diesel 3-cylinder 201 ci [3.3 L]
Power: 57 hp [42.5 kW]
Power (gross): 62 hp [46.2 kW]
Rated RPM: 2200
Torque: 160 lb-ft [217.0 Nm]
Torque RPM: 1200
Type: torque converter
Gears: 4 forward and reverse
Torque converter with stall at 2050 engine rpm and a multiplication ratio of 2.78-to-1.
Speeds: With 16.9x24 rear tires.
I would like 1.5-2 hours of run time , I’m content with the tractors slow nature As it never leaves my 5 acres
I already have a level 2 50A 240vac charger for my Nissan Leaf I would like to utilize
There are 5 heavy weights bolted to the front of this thing so when your using the hoe to lift heavy things the tractor doesn’t tip so I’m not concerned with weight.
I am a dual ticket Power Lineman and Electrician and have welding and metal fabrication capabilities
Simple Series wound DC motor (warp 9) and Lead acid batteries were my first thought , i am interested in what you guys thought ?
