In this video, I kick off a brand-new project on my old Ford 555 tractor by starting the process of adding hydraulic remotes. Step one is all about fabricating the mounts for the valves, which will open the door for future attachments and upgrades.
This series will cover the entire journey of modernizing this classic machine — from mount fabrication to plumbing the hydraulics and finally testing everything out in the field. If you’re into tractor restorations, loader/backhoe projects, or DIY hydraulic work, this is a great place to start.
