Description

When your Ford backhoe starts running hot during a long day of digging or loading, you know it’s time to address that cooling system before things get expensive. Your backhoe’s hydraulic system is its muscle – and when that engine overheats, you’re looking at downtime right when you need your machine most. This replacement radiator with integrated oil cooler keeps both your engine and hydraulic system running at proper temperatures, so you can keep working through those tough jobs.

What You’re Getting

Complete radiator and oil cooler assembly that handles both engine cooling and hydraulic oil temperature control
Direct replacement design that fits without modifications—same mounting points as your original
Heavy-duty construction built to handle the constant vibration and debris that comes with construction work
Proper core dimensions and coolant flow designed specifically for these Ford industrial machines

Built for Real Construction Work

This radiator fits Ford industrial backhoe models including the 455 (all variants: 455C, 455D), 555 (including 555A and 555B), 550, 655, and 655A. Whether you’re digging foundations with a 555B, cleaning ditches with a 455C, or loading trucks with a 655A’s front loader, these machines work hard. The integrated oil cooler is especially important since these machines run hydraulics for both the loader and backhoe functions.

Made to Last

Construction equipment radiators take a beating from debris, vibration, and temperature swings. This replacement is built with the same specifications as the original equipment, using materials that can handle the punishment of daily jobsite work. The oil cooler section maintains proper hydraulic fluid temperatures even during extended operation.

Installation Notes

This is a direct replacement for your original radiator and oil cooler assembly. You’ll want to flush the cooling system thoroughly before installation and check all hoses while you’ve got the old radiator out. If you’re losing coolant or running hot, inspect the radiator mounting area for damage that might prevent proper sealing. The oil cooler lines will need to be reconnected—a good time to check those fittings for leaks too.
