INTRODUCTION
Your tractor has been designed and built to give maximum' performance, economy and ease of operation
under a wide variety of operating conditions. Prior to delivery, the tractor was carefully inspected, both at
the factory and by your Ford New Holland dealer to ensure that it reaches you in optimum condition. To
maintain this condition and ensure trouble-free operation, it is important that the routine services, as speci-
fied in this Maintenance Manual, are carried out at the recommended intervals. After you have operated
the tractor for 50 hours, take your tractor, together with this Manual, to your dealer. He will then perform
the factory recommended 50 hour service.

This Manual has been prepared to assist you in maintaining your new Ford tractor to keep it in peak condi-
tion. The Manual covers tractors with and without. cab. Any features shown in this Manual that are not
installed on your tractor should be ignored.

Read this Manual carefully and keep it in a convenient place for future reference. If at any time you require
service or advice concerning your tractor, do not hesitate to contact your authorised Ford New Holland
dealer. He has factory trained personnel, genuine Ford parts and the necessary equipment to carry out all
your service requirements.

Pages iii and iv inClusive list the service related precautions to be observed to ensure your safety and the
safety of others. Read the safety precautions and follow the advice offered before performing a service on
the tractor.

Pages v and vii are the 50-hour service sheets. The first sheet (page v) is the dealer's copy and should be
removed by the dealer after the service has been carried out. The second sheet (page vii) is your copy of the
service performed. Ensure that you and the dealer sign both copies.

Following these introductory pages, the Manual is split into three sections. Section A details the routine
lubrication and maintenance procedures and includes a comprehensive service chart. Section B describes
general maintenance requirements, that is, service procedures and adjustments that need be carried out
only when required. The specification of the tractor is given in Section C. An index is provided at the back
of the Manual.

Ford New Holland policy is one of continuous improvement, and the right to change prices, specification
or equipment at any time without notice is reserved.

All data given in this book is subject to production variations. Dimensions and weights are approximate
only and the illustrations do not necessarily show tractors in standard condition. For exact information
about any particular tractor, please consult your Ford New Holland dealer.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A careful operator is the best operator. Most accidents can be avoided by observing certain precautions.
To help prevent accidents, read and take the following precautions before servicing the tractor. Equip-
ment should be operated only by those who are responsible and instructed to do so.

ROUTINE LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE------A

GENERAL

This section gives full details of the service procedures necessary to maintain your tractor at peak effi-
ciency while the lubrication and maintenance chart on page 5 provides a ready reference to these require-
ments. Each operation is numbered for easy reference. Where illustrations are provided, these have the
same Figure number as the operation to which they refer.

In addition to the regular service operations listed, the following items should be checked every 10
hours or daily during the first SO hours of operation:

• Transmission/hydraulics/rear axle oil level • Front axle hub oil levels (four wheel drive
only)
• Wheel nuts for tightness

At the first SO hour service, ensure that the following additional service operations are carried out:

• Change engine oil and filter • Change front differential oil (four wheel drive
only)
• Change fuel filter *
• Change front axle hub oil (four wheel drive
• Change hydraulic filters only)

• Check and adjust engine valve clearance • Check torque of front end weight clamp bolts
(where fitted)
• Clean, inspect and grease front wheel bearings
(two wheel drive only) • Check and adjust brakes

* The replacement fuel filter is larger than the original factory fitment.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the tractor is on level ground and that all rams are extended, where applica-
ble, before checking oil levels.

To prevent contamination when changing oils,filters, etc., always clean the area around filler, level and
drain plugs, dipsticks and filters. Before connecting remote cylinders, ensure that oil contained within
them is clean, has not degenerated due to long storage and is of the correct grade.

NOTE: When operating remote cylinders, the rear axle oil level will be affected. When topping up the rear
axle to accommodate the oil requirement of remote cylinders, no more than 13 Imp. gallons (59 lUres)
should be added to bring the oil level up to the upper mark on the dipstick when all rams are fully extended.

Alternatively, remote cylinders with an oil capacity of up t041mp. gallons (18Iitres) may be connected to
the tractor hydraulic system without adding oil, provided the tractor is being operated on level ground.
