Engine Model Family:
Ford 134/152/175/192 cu. in. (2.2L/2.5L/2.9L/3.1L) 3-cylinder diesel (specific displacement depends on sub-model and year).
Horsepower Range Typical:
Approximately 30-45 PTO horsepower (varies by engine variant and configuration).
Torque Characteristic:
Designed for robust low-end torque delivery, characteristic of diesel engines for agricultural applications.
Injection Type:
Direct injection (typical for the era).
Cooling Method:
Water-cooled
Oil Type Recommendation General:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil (refer to specific manual for precise viscosity grade, e.g., 15W-40).
Specific Engine Parts Covered:
Pistons, rings, bearings, valves, guides, seals, gaskets, cylinder liners, oil pump, fuel pump, filters, injectors, glow plugs.
Transmission Type:
Manual transmission (e.g., 6-speed or 8-speed constant mesh gearbox with creeper options).
Transmission Options:
Possible availability of shuttle shift or other transmission variations depending on sub-model.
Pto Options:
Standard 540 RPM PTO, with potential for 1000 RPM PTO as an option.
Rear Axle Differential Lock:
Typically equipped with a differential lock for enhanced traction.
Transmission Oil Type:
Ford Tractor Transmission Oil (M2C48B or equivalent) or SAE 80W-90 GL-4 gear oil for certain components. Always verify with the specific tractor's service manual.
Wheelbase Typical:
Approximately 70-75 inches (178-190 cm) for 2WD models.
Operating Weight Typical:
Around 3,500 - 4,500 lbs (1588 - 2041 kg), depending on configuration and ballast.
Drawbar Horsepower:
Generally lower than PTO horsepower, reflecting drivetrain losses.
Rollover Protection:
ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) may have been an option or aftermarket addition, not standard on all early models.
Braking System:
Mechanical drum brakes (often internal expanding) on rear wheels, or sometimes hydraulic disc brakes on later or specialized models. Differential lock for traction control.
Operator Station Design:
Basic operator platform with controls positioned for ease of use. Seatbelt may not have been standard on all early models.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 100-200 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. Consult the original service manual for exact recommendations.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended at regular intervals, often coinciding with oil changes or as per service manual schedule, especially in areas with variable fuel quality.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 500-1000 operating hours, or when fluid appears contaminated or degraded.
Engine Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze/coolant, mixed with distilled water. Specific concentration ratio (e.g., 50/50) is critical for freeze and boil-over protection.
Hydraulic Fluid Capacity:
Capacity varies significantly based on configuration (e.g., with or without 3-point hitch). Typically in the range of 5-10 gallons (19-38 liters). Refer to manual for precise capacity.
Common Wear Points:
Worn clutch, hydraulic pump efficiency loss, PTO clutch wear, starter motor issues, radiator leaks, exhaust manifold leaks, fuel injector problems, pedal shaft wear.
Electrical Challenges:
Degraded wiring insulation, corroded connections, failing generator/alternator, and starter solenoids can be common due to age and environmental exposure.
Illustrative Part Number Format:
Part numbers will be alphanumeric (e.g., ESN-xxxx, Dxxxx, Cxxxx, etc.), specific to Ford New Holland internal part cataloging.
Ford Tractor Legacy:
Ford was a pioneering force in agricultural mechanization, revolutionizing farming with accessible and reliable tractors. The 'New Holland' branding reflects the acquisition of New Holland Machine Company by Ford in 1986, though the 2000 series predates this integration and was originally marketed under the Ford brand.
2000 Series Positioning:
The 2000 series represented Ford's commitment to providing a versatile, medium-horsepower tractor for general-purpose farm work, succeeding earlier models and setting the stage for future designs.
Manufacturing Locations:
Primarily manufactured in North America (USA) and potentially other global Ford tractor plants.
