Engine Model Designation:
Likely based on Ford's established diesel engine lines for tractors of that era, such as the 401 or similar displacement.
Displacement:
Typically around 3.9 to 4.2 Liters (240-256 cubic inches) for tractors in this class, exact spec requires manual confirmation.
Engine Cylinders:
Likely 4 or 6 cylinder configuration for diesel engines of this displacement.
Horsepower Rated:
Around 70-80 PTO horsepower, exact figures vary by specific engine configuration and rating standard.
Torque Peak:
Not specified in product description, but expected to provide substantial pulling power typical of diesel engines in this size range.
Injection Type:
Typically indirect or direct injection, dependent on the specific engine variant.
Transmission Type:
Likely a manual gearbox with multiple forward and reverse gears. Options might include a Dual Power or similar transmission enhancement.
Gear Configuration:
Typically 8 or 16 forward speeds, plus reverse, depending on transmission option (e.g., standard vs. Dual Power).

Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 250 operating hours for engine oil and filter, but exact specification will be in the manual.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Recommended every 1000-1200 operating hours, refer to manual for specific intervals and fluid type.
Engine Oil Type:
Diesel engine oil, likely API CD or CE grade, SAE 15W-40 or 30. Specific viscosity depends on ambient temperature. Manual will detail precise specifications.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Ford approved tractor hydraulic fluid (UTF - Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid) or equivalent. Specific brand recommendations may be present.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze, mixed with distilled water. Likely a 50/50 mix for freeze protection and corrosion inhibition.
Transmission Fluid Capacity:
Approximate capacity will be detailed in the manual, typically around 10-15 gallons for the combined hydraulic and transmission system.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Approximate capacity around 10-12 quarts (9.5-11.4 liters), manual will confirm precise volume and filter number.
Common Wear Points:
Wear in PTO clutch, hydraulic pump seals, starter motor, and potential for injector pump issues on older diesel engines.
Electrical Systems:
Wiring harness degradation and starter solenoid issues can occur with age.
Manufacturer Heritage:
Ford tractors have a long and storied history in agriculture, known for durability and innovation. New Holland acquired Ford's tractor division.
Tractor Series:
The 7000 series represents a mid-range tractor in Ford's agricultural lineup during its production era, likely the late 1960s to early 1970s.
Row Crop Variant:
The inclusion of a 'Row Crop Supplement' indicates specific operational and adjustment details for narrow-front, high-clearance configurations.
Production Period:
The Ford 7000 was produced roughly from 1970 to 1975. The 'New Holland' branding indicates a later manual for a tractor originally sold as a Ford.
