Part Identification Method
Exploded Views Purpose:
To visually deconstruct each assembly, showing the precise arrangement and relationship of all individual parts, enabling easy identification and correct ordering.
Part Number Importance:
Critical for ensuring that the exact replacement part is procured, preventing compatibility issues and ensuring proper function of the tractor's systems.
Component Level Detail:
The manual goes down to the level of individual nuts, bolts, washers, seals, and bearings, providing part numbers for each small, replaceable component within an assembly.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically 250-500 hours or annually, depending on operating conditions and oil type used. Specific recommendation requires referring to the owner's manual or service manual for exact hours.
Air Filter Replacement:
Regular inspection and replacement based on operating environment (e.g., dusty conditions require more frequent checks/replacement). Typically recommended every 250-500 operating hours or when visual inspection indicates blockage.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended replacement every 500 operating hours or annually, and whenever the fuel system is opened for service to prevent contamination.
Engine Oil Specification:
Typically API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on ambient temperature. Specific viscosity and API rating should be verified with the owner's manual.
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid Type:
Ford/New Holland New Holland Tractor Hydraulic Fluid (NH-410B) or equivalent UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid) meeting specific OEM specifications.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze (permanent type) mixed with distilled water at a 50/50 ratio for optimal freeze and corrosion protection. Specific OEM coolant type should be verified.
Grease Specification:
General-purpose lithium-based grease (e.g., NLGI #2) for most lubrication points (e.g., U-joints, pivot points). Specific grease types for high-temperature or high-load applications may be noted in the manual.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, hydraulic pump performance degradation, PTO engagement issues, and potential for starter motor issues due to heavy use. Coolant leaks from hoses or radiator are also common.
Essential Part Categories In Manual:
Engine components (pistons, rings, bearings), transmission gears and shafts, hydraulic pump and valve components, PTO clutch packs, brake shoes/pads, steering components, filters (oil, fuel, hydraulic), seals, gaskets, electrical connectors, and fasteners.
