hello just recently purchased a 79 model ford 555 backhoe with the 3 cylinder 201 cid engine. Hours are unknown and the machine has been running. Recently while running in third gear the machine started to lose power. I shifted into a lower gear. Still not usual power. Then the machine pulls itself down and dies. After about 5 mins I try to restart and the starter just clicks on the fly wheel. Battery is new starter is newer. Oil was about 2 quarts low and the engine had fuel and coolant. I have tried to turn the engine over with a pipe and breaker bar and was unsuccessful. I was curious how can I be 100 % the engine is seized and it’s not a transmission or hydraulic pump issue. The hydraulic pump is ran off the crank so I was trying to turn both. Also undid the four hydraulic lines to the loader arms trying to get the boom to come up. The bucket is down and I tried lifting with my tractor and it was picking the front of the backhoe up. Even with the lines undone??? My next question is does the engine have sleeves and how bad would it be to rebuild in frame.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
