Tips for getting the most out of this manual

Keep this manual in a safe place!

Digital files seem to have a habit of getting lost exactly when you need them most. To ensure
that you don’t accidentally delete or misplace this file here are some tips you should follow:

• Immediately after downloading your manual (i.e. now) it’s a good idea to save this file in
a place you will remember. We recommend putting it in a folder. To make a new folder
in Windows just right click -> New -> Folder. Name the folder something like Digital
Manuals, Tractor Manual, etc.
• Once you have a folder for this file, go to File -> Save As… Now save the manual file to
the folder you created. If you want, rename the file to something you will remember.
We recommend including the model number (this is important in case you forget where
you saved this file on your computer).

Remember: If you have put this file in a safe place on your computer and are unable to find
it again the following year, try Windows search feature: Start ->Search. Type in the model
number or another keyword that you know is in the file name.

Quick Search
If you are looking for something specific in this manual, you are in luck; All our manuals
are searchable! Just press CTR + F and type in what you are looking for. Some things to
remember when using the quick search feature:

• Your search won’t be 100 percent accurate. The software we use to make the
text readable might confuse an “I” with an “l” (L and I ) or a smudge on the paper
might have made the text unreadable by the software.
• Quick search will only search the exact words you type into the search bar in the
exact order you put them in. For example if you type in 20 millimeters when in
the manual it was written 20 mm your search will not work.

What you should get from this tip is that: Quick Search is not completely reliable. Be sure to
check the index and table of contents if you are getting no results when using the quick
search feature.
Printing

You will likely want to print out some or all of the pages from this manual to use in the
workshop.

Even if you want to print the whole manual you will probably not want to print out these first
couple of pages.

All of the printing options are located at File -> Print or CTRL + P. The most important options
are in the page range box. If you printed this manual now it’s likely that your printer would
automatically print every page. If you want to omit some pages or only print certain page
numbers you should to click the Pages button rather than All in the page range box. Now enter
the page numbers you wish to print, for example 2-40 or 18-22.

If you are planning to print only a certain section of pages be sure to use the page numbers
that are shown on the toolbar and not the page number shown on the actual page.

If you are planning to print this entire manual it is recommended that you print on both
sides of the paper. It looks nicer and you use half as much paper. Some printers have
duplex printing where the printer can automatically print on both sides. If your printer
doesn’t have duplexing capabilities it will take more work. First you need to print off the
odd pages. To do this select odd pages only in the print setup. Before you start to print, we
recommend you label the different sides of the first sheet in your paper tray because
depending on your printer it may be hard to figure out which way to correctly put the paper.
Once you have printed out the odd pages just flip the stack of papers around according to
the markings you made earlier and print the even side. Then put it in a binder, folder etc

FRONT WHEEL TREAD ADJUSTMENT

Dual Front Wheel: The tread Width of the dual front

wheel can be set at either of two widths. In the normal
wheel setting, the tread width is 8.3 inches (21.08 em).
The wheels can be reversed on the spindles to obtain a
tread width of 16.3 Inches (41.40 em).

When planting or cultivating listed crops, the wider front

wheel setting will assist the operator in keeping the
front wheels on the listed ridges. The extra clearance
will also minimize the accumulation of mud when oper-
ating in wet or sticky so i I.
NOTE: Under normal operating conditions, the tractor
will handle much better when the dual front wheels are
set in the narrow position.

ALL PURPOSE and LCG
 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions are suggested to help prevent
accidents.
1. Do not permit anyone to ride on the
tractor with the operator.
2. The operator should never get off the
tractor when the tractor is in motion.
3. Use care when operating on steep
grades to maintain proper stability.
4. Always drive the tractor at speeds compatible with
safety, especially when operating over rough ground,
near ditches, or turning.
5. Keep the tractor in gear when going downhill.
6. When operating P.T.O.·driven equipment, always shut
off the engine and wait for it to stop before disengag-
ing the P.T.O.
7. Always shut off the engine before getting off the
tractor.
8. Make sure the parking brakes are set when parking
the tractor and place the Select-0-Speed selector lever
in the park (P) position. lock the parking brake when
the drive line disengagement lever is in the disconnect
position.
9. Always keep the tractor brakes in proper operating
condition.
4
10. Do not refuel the tractor when the engine is hot or
running.
11. Never run the tractor engine in a closed building.
Carbon monoxide fumes from the exhaust system are
very dangerous and cannot easily be detected because
they are odorless.
12. Never install or remove a belt while the belt pulley is
in motion.
13. Never wear loose clothing when operating the power
take-off, the belt pulley; or around equipment being
driven by the pulley or P.T.O.
14. Always use the drawbar for pull-type work. Pulling
from the upper link or rear axle is extremely dangerous.
15. If the front end tends to raise, check for proper weight
distribution.
16. Always make sure the engine is stopped and the
P.T.O. drive disengaged before cleaning or adjusting
P.T.O.-driven equipment.
17. Never leave equipment in the raised position.
18. If the tractor is stuck, always attempt to
back out. If logs are used, always put
them behind the rear wheels and back out.
 The controls on your new Ford Tractor are designed for
effortless operation and are located within comfortable
reach of the operator, thereby reducing driver fatigue.

The instruments and warning lights are centrally located

so that you can tell at a glance whether the tractor is oper-
ating properly. The warning lights also warn you of
possible trouble before it becomes serious.

Before attempting to start or operate your new tractor,

familiarize yourself with the location and function of all

GENERAL
~~E~SiA~riNG CHECK
Your Ford Tractor-Equipment Dealer has checked your
tractor thoroughly. We suggest, however, that you become
familiar with the points detailed under "LUBRICATION
AND MAINTENANCE", page 67, before operating your
tractor.
fUEL
Gasclif'le l:ngiruils: Ford gasoline engines are designed to
operate most efficiently with good quality regular grade
gasoline. The use of poor quality fuel can cause knocking,
overheating and ultimately engine failure. Use of highly
volatile winter grade fuel during warm weather can result
in vapor lock or sluggish engine performance. Use of
summer grade fuel in cold weather can result in hard
starting. Consult your fuel dealer.
Diesel Erngines: Above 20°F. use diesel fuel oil No. 2
(No. 2D) with a minimum cetane rating of 45. In cold
weather, below 20°F., use diesel fuel oil No. 1 (No. 1D)
with a minimum cetane rating of 50.
Fuel represents a major portion of your tractor operating
costs; therefore, it is important to use it efficiently. Do not
let cost tempt you to use inferior diesel fuel. The initial
savings is a false economy when you consider the damage
poor fuel can do to your tractor engine.
22
fnfii1g the fMdcr Fuel ionic (Gas©Une and DleseU:
When fueling the tractor, make sure that dirt or other
foreign matter does not enter the fuel tank. Clean the area
around the tank filler cap prior to refueling.
If there is no 1ilter on the outlet of the storage tank, or
if a can is to be used to refuel, use a funnel with a screen
not greater than 100 mesh. The storage tank should be
kept as full as possible to minimize condensation.
.&
BREAK... IN PROCEDURES
Your new Ford Tractor will provide long and dependable
service if given proper care during the break-in period.
During the first 50 hours of operation:
1. Avoid "lugging" the engine.
2. Use the lower gear ratios when pulling heavy loads and
avoid continuous operation at constant engine speeds.
3. Check the instruments frequently and keep the radiator
and oil reservoirs filled to their recommended levels.
4. Avoid prolonged operation at either high or low en-
gine speeds without a load on the engine.

DRIVING THE TRACTOR
You will save fuel and minimize engine wear by selecting
the correct gear ratio for a particular operation. Operating
the tractor in low gear with a light load and high engine
speed will waste fuel. Operating in too high a gear under
heavy load may cause excessive engine "lugging". Harm-
ful "lugging" occurs when the engine will not respond to
a throttle increase.

The Select-0-Speed transmission is basically a triple range
transmission. Gear ratios 1 through 4 are normally used
for slow precise work or extremely heavy pulling; gear
ratios 5 through 8 for medium speed field work; and gear
ratios 9 and 10 for traveling at higher speeds on improved
roads. When changing from the low range to the medium
range (shifting from 4th to 5th), the change in speed is
greater than from one gear ratio to another within a range.
The gear selector lever and inching pedal are illustrated
in Figures 12 and 15. With the engine running at low idle,
and the inching pedal depressed, shift directly to the de-
sired gear ratio if the operation is anticipated to be in the
low speeds (gear ratios 1 through 4). Shift to one gear
below the anticipated operating gear for the higher gear
ratios. Increase the throttle setting to handle the initial
load, then let the inching pedal up slowly until the tractor
moves off smoothly. Shift on-the-go to the speed ratio that
will permit the best performance, then move the throttle
to the desired setting.
Shifting on-the~go: The following are suggested operat-
ing procedures:
• Snap the selector lever quickly from gear to gear. Do
not use the inching pedal as a clutch.
www.FarmManualsFast.com
• Shift up or shift down just as often as your load
varies, maintaining a moderate engine speed and
highest gear ratio.
• Always downshift when your engine starts to lug.
• Use your inching pedal for smooth starts, easy hook-up
of equipment, and for emergency stops.
Speed Selector Mechanism: The speed selector dial,
Figure 3, shows the gear ratio selected, ten forward speeds
(indicated by numerals 1 to 10), two reverse speeds (R1
and R 2 ), a park (P), and a neutral position (N), can be
obtained by means of the gear selector lever. The selector
dial is illuminated when the key-starter switch is turned on.
The ten forward speeds overlap each other and provide
speeds from 0.5 mph in first gear at 1000 rpm to approxi-
mately 17 mph at the maximum rated rpm in tenth gear
(depending on the model tractor). The two reverse gear
ratios provide approximately 1.5 mph in R 1 and approxi-
mately 5.1 mph in R 2• Refer to the Tractor Ground Speed
Charts, page 130.
When moving the lever through the neutral (N) position,
apply light pressure outward on the lever, otherwise, it
will drop into the neutral locating notch.

 tions. The stop screws can be positioned in any two of the
gear positions, 3, S, 7, Rt. or R 2 , by inserting them in the
holes shown in Figure 29. The stops can be overridden to
obtain any gear by pulling outward on the spring-loaded
gear selector lever and shifting to the desired gear. When

NEUTRAL NOTCH
Always shift to park (P) and shut off the engine before
you get off the tractor. Any time the engine is not running,
the transmission automatically "locks up" for safety pur-
poses.
Repositioning ti'ie Seieden Lever: For added convenience,
the selector lever on your tractor can be mounted on either
side of the speed selector mechanism to permit right- or
left-hand shifting.
To move the selector lever to the opposite side of the speed

select an Over-Range, an Under-Range, and a Standard-
Range.
When the over/ under lever is in neutral, the tractor will
not move even though the gearshift lever may be "in
gear". Moving the over/under lever to the "Standard"
position permits use of the standard 4-speed transmission
gear ratios. When the lever is in the Under-Range, lower
gear ratios are provided than could otherwise be obtained
with the standard 4-speed transmission. When the lever is
in the Over-Range, higher gear ratios are provided. To
change from one gear ratio to another, or to change ranges,
depress the clutch pedal, stop the tractor, and shift to the
desired gear and/ or range.

8-Speed Transmission
The 8-speed transmission incorporates two shift levers;
a gearshift lever and a high-low shift lever, Figure 18.
The gearshift lever is used to select any one of eight for-
ward gear ratios and two reverse gear ratios, depending
30
on the pos1t10n of the high-low shift lever. When the
high-low shift lever is in the low range; 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and
4th gear ratios are obtained. When the lever is in the high
range; 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th gear ratios are obtained. To
change from one gear ratio to another, or to change ranges,
depress the clutch pedal, stop the tractor, and shift to the
desired gear and/ or range.
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
The differential lock, when installed, is engaged by de-
pressing the pedal located on the right side of the center
housing, Figures 22, 23, and 24. Depressing the pedal locks
both rear axle shafts together, preventing one wheel from
rotating independently of the other.
The differential lock should be used whenever one wheel
begins to slip in wet or loose soil. The differential lock
enables additional traction to be obtained from the oppo·
site wheel.
To operate the differential lock, depress and hold the
pedal down until the lock is definitely felt to engage, then
release the pedal. The lock will remain engaged until the
traction of both rear wheels is equal. It will then auto-
matically be disengaged, and the pedal will return to its
original position.
NOTE: Tt is best to e11gage the differmJial lock before
wheel slippt~ge occurs. 1'f,is will minimize shock loads to
the drive lfne.
If the pedal is slow in returning, momentarily depress the
dutch pedal (inching pedal on Select-0-Speed) or briefly
depress the brake pedal of the wheel that was spinning.

Ground Speed P.T.O. !Deluxe Seled~O~S~eedl: Ground
speed P.T.O. permits the operating speed of the equipment
to be in direct proportion to the forward speed or ground
travel of the tractor. The relationship between ground
speed P.T.O. (rpm) and tractor forward travel remains
constant regardless of the transmission gear ratio and
engine speed. Thus, in such applications as raking, plant-
ing, spreading manure, etc., the ground speed P.T.O. will
permit constant equipment operating speed for any spe-
cific ground speed, regardless of the transmission gear
ratio.
The ground speed P.T.O. is engaged by moving the ground
speed P.T.O. shift lever, Figure 15, to the "ON" position.
Make certain that the P.T.O. control handle, Figure 12, is
pushed all the way in. A lock-out arrangement within the
transmission prevents moving the ground speed P.T.O.
shift lever if the handle is pulled out.
The P.T.O. shaft will turn only when the tractor is in
motion; consequently, to ease into P.T.O. loads, it will be
nec:ess.ary to use the inching pedal.

--Operation----------------
Your solution is a 13-inch pulley on the sheller. However,
if you do not have a 13-inch pulley but do have a 12-inch
pulley, a different approach can be taken to tind engine

Therefore, you can use the 12-ioch pulley on the sheller
and set the tractor engine speed at 1568 rpm (under load).
You could also use a different size drive pulley on the
P.T.O.; however, it would then be necessary to compute
the P.T.O. and engine speeds for your particular applica-

POSITION CONTROl.
With the hydraulic selector lever, Figures 35, 36, and 37,
in position control, the tractor hydraulic system will auto-
matically maintain the selected height or depth of three-

point linkage equipment in relation to the tractor. There
is a definite relationship between the position of the hy-
draulic lift control lever and the position of the equip-
ment. When the hydraulic lift control lever is moved to a
higher or lower setting in the quadrant, the system imme-
diately repositions the equipment to a higher or lower
position. The system will then automatically maintain the
selected position.
43
--Operation-----------------
Position control provides easy, accurate control of three-
point linkage equipment that operates above the ground,
such as sprayers, rakes, mowers, etc. It is also an advantage
when using blades or similar equipment on level ground,
as it will maintain a more uniform depth.
DRAFT CONTft(IL
When the hydraulic selector lever, Figures 35, 36, and
37, is in draft control, the tractor hydraulic system will
automatically adjust the equipment's working depth to
maintain an even pull on the tractor regardless of the soil
conditions.

pulled through the soil, the draft caused by soil resistance
has the effect of trying to rotate the equipment around the

compressive force on the upper link. When changes in soil
resistance cause the draft to increase or decrease, the com-
pression force on the upper link will also increase or de·
crease. These changes in upper link compression will signal
the hydraulic system, through internal linkage, to raise or
lower the equipment, thereby maintaining uniform draft.
Upper Link Tension Loads C o ·d , ~000, and 5000):
When working with long, heavy equipment in light soils
or at shallow depths, the soil resistance is not always
sufficient to create a compressive force on the upper link.
At times the link will be in tension. The hydraulic system
44
on Ford 3000, 4000, and 5000 Tractors will automatically
respond to tension as well as compression, thereby con-
trolling working depth, even when using long, heavy
equipment.

FLOW CONTROL KNOB
Ford 3000, 4000, and 5000
The flow control knob, Figures 36 and 37, provides an
adjustment to regulate the oil flow rate used to move the
lift piston in the hydraulic system, thus speeding up or
slowing down the rate of lift. When flow control, and
draft control or position control are used at the same time,
the setting of the flow control knob regulates the hydrau-
lic system responses by slowing down the draft reactions.
This action permits attached equipment, such as a plow, to
respond more quickly or slowly to soil texture changes.
Turning the knob "in" speeds up the response. Turning
the knob "out" slows down the response and provides
more gradual hydraulic system reactions. In hard soils,
and at moderate-to-fast tractor speeds, turning the knob
"out" will improve quality of the work. When the hy-
draulic lift control lever is raised to the top of the quad-
rant to raise the equipment, flow control is overridden and
maximum lift speed is obtained.
AUXI!.IARY SERVICE CONTROL VALVE KNOB
The auxiliary service control valve knob, Figures 25 and
37, permits the use of hydraulic power for remote cylin-
der operation. When operating in auxiliary control, it is
recommended that the hydraulic selector lever, Figures
35, 36, and 37, be in draft control. The auxiliary service
control valve knob positions are:
• Ford 2000, 2110,
3000, 4000, and
4110 .......... . ... Full "in" to operate lift linkage.
....... . ...... Full "out" to operate remote
cylinders.
. ........ . ... . Half "out" to operate lift link-
age and remote cylinders simul-
taneously.
• Ford 5000 ... .. .... Full "in" to operate lift linkage.
.... ... . ...... Full "out" to operate remote
cylinders.
NOTE~ Tbe tractor hydraulic lift system and rem()te cylin~
d~ (single ac#ng) can be operated simultaneously 011 the
Ford 5000 Tractor by tMmecting the remote cylinder bose
directly into the lift ryli11der through the port 011 the ac·
cessory cover. See Figure 37. Simultaneous operation does,
howet,er, depend otl the amo1mt of weight that is to be
lifted by the lift lids and remote cylinder. lf the weight
to be lifted by the cylit~der is greater than the welgiJt ()n

maki11g the l:rydraulic system inactive.
The actual operation of the remote cylinder is controlled
by the hydraulic lift control lever, Figure 37. With the
engine running:
1. Move the hydraulic lift control lever to the neutral
position in the quadrant, where neither raising nor
lowering takes place.
2. Position the stop on the quadrant at the front edge
of the lever. This will make it easy to quickly locate
neutral.
3. Move the auxiliary service control valve knob to the
full "out" position.
4. To extend the remote cylinder, move the control lever
above its neutral position. When the cylinder is fully
extended, return the control lever to the neutral posi-
tion to avoid "popping" the hydraulic system relief
valve.
5. To retract the cylinder, move the control lever
below the neutral position on the quadrant.
When the cylinder is :fully retracted, return the
controi lever to neutraL
Remote cylinders are operated by oil initially
drawn from the rear axle. Any remote cylinder
that is disconnected when extended represents a
loss of oil in the rear axle. This oil must be re- FLOAT
placed by adding a corresponding quantity of oil. VALVE

the remote cylinders. These valves are discussed below. The
chart on page 48 details the use of the bypass and float
valves for the various remote control valves.
Figure 39
Remote Control Valve Installed
ll'§ypcus V01lve: The bypass valve, when open, provides an
escape for hydraulic pressure which would dead end at the
plugged drop port when a single-acting cylinder is being
used. When the bypass valve is dosed during operation of
a double-acting cylinder, hydraulic pressure is routed to
the drop port and hydraulically lowers the controlled
equipment.
Flo01t Valve: The float valve provides the same function
as the bypass valve. In addition, it is possible to easily
decrease the amount of hydraulic down pressure by turn-
ing the float valve out (counterclockwise) until there is
no hydraulic down pressure when the float valve is turned
completely out. At this point, the double-acting remote
cylinder acts as a single-acting cylinder, and the controlled
equipment is free to float over the contour of the ground.
Varying degrees of float can be obtained at intermediate
settings of the float valve.
Dehmts lnope~r©ltive: On valves equipped with
detents, it may be desirable to make the detents inoperative.
When this is done, it will be necessary to hold the control
handle(s) in their forward or rearward position(s) until
the desired cylinder position is obtained. The detents are
made inoperative as shown in Figure 40 and described
below:

on the scales, with liquid ballast and/or cast iron weights
added, and with mounted equipment in the raised position.
For best tire wear, the load capacity of the tires as listed
on page 66 should not be exceeded.
If additional information is required when adding weight
to your tractor, see your Ford Tractor-Equipment Dealer.
Tl~i: P~ESSU~E
Tire pressure must be considered when adding weight to
the tractor. The tire load capacity is affected by inflation
pressure.
The following "Tire Inflation vs. Permissible load" chart
lists the various tires available and shows the maximum
load they can carry for a given air pressure.
On soft soils, it is beneficial to use the minimum inflation
pressure in order to increase flotation and reduce the roll-
ing resistance. On hard surfaces, near maximum pressures
should be used in order to reduce the internal flexing of
the tire.
Weight added to the tires, together with the weight of the
tractor and rear attached equipment, should not exceed
the recommended weight to be carried by the tires as listed
in the chart on page 66. In some cases, the tire capacities
will exceed the maximum allowable weight of the tractor.
In these instances, never exceed the maximum allowable
weight of the tractor, including ballast.

kept these requirements to a minimum and the necessary
operations are easily carried out. Regular attention at the
specified time will pay dividends in maximum efficiency
and longer life.

ALL PURPOSE and LCG 6
--Lubrication and
LUI~I(ANT STO~AGE
Your new Ford Tractor is equipped with suitable lubricant
filters to protect vital points from damage by dirt which
may enter under normal operating conditions. Precautions
must, however, be taken by you to prevent lubricant con-
tamination by dirt or water during storage. Service inter-
vals in this section are based on the assumption that only
new oil, of the type specified, is used.
Barrels of lubricant should be kept under cover, preferably
in a clean, dry place, and they should be dearly marked to
indicate the lubricant which they contain.
When a barrel is kept in an exposed location it should be
tilted to allow any moisture to run away from the 1iller
cap. Always use a clean container when transferring oil
from a barrel to the tractor and make sure that any cap
or bung, which has been removed, is installed as soon as
possible.
fUEl. S'I'O~AGE
Diesel Fuel: Extremely small clearance exists between the
fuel delivering elements of the fuel injection pump and
the fuel delivering elements of the injectors. Therefore, it
is of vital importance that precautions be taken to make
sure the fuel is kept free of dirt and water. See Figure 60.
Diesel fuel should be stored in black iron tanks or con-
68
tainers. Do not store diesel fuel in a galvanized tank, as
the zinc coating will react with the fuel and form unde-
sirable compounds which may interfere with the proper
operation of the fuel injection pump and injectors.
The most satisfactory arrangement is a bulk storage instal-
lation with either a tank and pump, Figure 61, or a gravity
feed installation located high enough for the tractor tank
to be filled direct. The tank should slope downward at
the rear to allow sediment to settle away from the take-off
point. Whenever the tank is refilled, the fuel should be
allowed to setde for 12 hours before being used. A drain
valve should be incorporated at the lowest point in the
tank so the moisture and sediment may be drained periodi-
cally. A fuel oudet 1ilter should be used, as shown in
Figure 61. Use the largest tank possible and keep it as full
as possible to minimize condensation.
If bulk storage is not possible and the fuel is stored in
barrels, keep them in a dean, dry place. The barrel in use
should be fitted with a fuel oudet filter and a drain tap,
and should be supported so it slopes downward lfz inch
per foot length away from the tap. Never tip the barrel to
use fuel below the level of the tap.
After use, install the cap at the top of the barrel and clean
up fuel which may have been spilled. Diesel fuel will not
evaporate and will collect dust and dirt.

is correctly timed to the engine when fuel injection at the
No. 1 piston occurs 19° btdc on the compression stroke.
Determine correct timing as follows:
1. Remove the No. 1 fuel injector as described on page
98, "Fuel Injectors".
2. Remove the flywheel inspection cover from the right
rear of the engine, Figure 102, and the cover and gas-
ket from the rear of the injection pump, Figure 103.
3. With the diesel engine stop control pulled out, rotate
the flywheel until air escapes from the No. 1 injector
opening (can be felt by placing thumb over opening).
Continue to rotate the flywheel until the 19° btdc mark
is centered in the timing opening, Figure 102. The No.
1 piston is now at 19° btdc on its compression stroke.

The injectors should be serviced every 600 hours. Do not
attempt to dismantle or adjust the injectors. Remove the
injectors from the tractor as follows, and have them serv-
iced by your Ford Tractor-Equipment Dealer.
1. To gain access to the injectors, remove the battery tray
locating bolt and swing the battery tray outward.
2. Remove all loose dirt from around the injectors and
lines. Disconnect the leak-off line connections from
the injectors, Figure 105, and remove the leak-off line.
3. Disconnect the injection pump-to-injector line connec-
tions at both the pump and injectors. Cover the ends

should be protected during storage. The following is a
suggested list of operations to be carried out.
1. Thoroughly clean the tractor. Use touch-up paint
where necessary to prevent rust.
2. Drain the fuel tank. On gasoline tractors, run the
engine until the carburetor float chamber is empty.

and rear axle hydraulic lift system with new oil. Drain

118
 cautions should be taken to protect the fuel injection
pump and the injector nozzles against corrosion and
gumming during the storage period. Before storing,
the fuel system should be flushed with a special oil,
a quantity of which will remain in the system when
the engine is shut down for storage.
Special diesel fuel system flushing oils are available
from most oil companies. If special flushing oil is not
readily obtainable, mix one U.S. pint of SAE 10 non-
detergent engine oil with 10 U.S. quarts of No. 2
diesel fuel. Drain the fuel tank by removing the fuel
line at the shut-off valve. Reconnect the fuel line and
pour two U.S. gallons of the special flushing oil (or
lubricating mixture) in the fuel tank. Run the engine
for 10 minutes to assure complete distribution of the
special oil through the injection pump and fuel in-
jectors. There is no need to remove the injector
nozzles.
6. Remove the battery, clean it thoroughly, be sure that
it is fully charged, and that the electrolyte is to its
proper level. Place it in storage in a cool dry place
above freezing temperature. The battery should be
charged periodically during storage.
7. Place blocking under the tractor axles to remove the
weight from the tires.
8. Block the lift arms in a fully raised position to be
sure the lift piston is in a fully extended position.
This will protect the cylinder wall surfaces from
corrosion.
9. Open the drain valve at the bottom of the radiator
and on the right-hand side of the engine block to
drain the cooling system. Flush the system and close
the drain valves.
10. Check the tractor for worn or damaged parts. Install
new parts as required.
11. Cover the exhaust pipe opening.
Tractors that have been placed in storage should be com-
pletely serviced in the following manner before using:
1. Inflate the tires to the recommended pressures, and
remove the blocking.
2. Fill the cooling system. Use corrosion inhibitor in
warm weather; permanent antifreeze in cold weather.
3. Fill the fuel tank with fuel and check the oil level in
the crankcase, rear axle, transmission, and air cleaner.
4. Install a fully charged battery, and remove the exhaust
cover, if other than a rain cap.
5. Start the engine and allow it to idle a few minutes.
Be sure the engine is receiving lubrication and that
each control is functioning correctly.
6. Drive the tractor without a load to be sure it is oper-
ating satisfactorily.

PROPER CARE OF YOUR TRACTOR
Your new Ford has been properly inspected and prepared by us for delivery in the manner recommended
by Ford Motor Company. Continued efficiency as well as economy in operation, however, depends upon
the care received. Systematic attention to lubrication, regular inspection, and necessary mechanical
adjustments by a Ford Tractor-Equipment Dealer, usually will result in greater satisfaction to you.
INSTALLATION OF PARTS FURNISHED UNDER WARRANTY
Should the replacement of any part become necessary under the warranty, we, the selling dealer, will make
the replacement without any charge for the part or for the labor required to replace the part.
If you move to another location during the duration of the warranty period, the warranty service to which
you are entitled under this policy will be performed by the nearest authorized Ford Tractor-Equipment
Dealer without charge for material or labor when the tractor is brought into his shop. In order to obtain
this service, you must present this policy to the servicing dealer before the warranty period expires.
AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAS ELAPSED
We, the selling dealer, will at any time give your tractor a free inspection, using factory-recommended
equipment, and the experience of trained mechanics and service analysts. We will advise you concerning
the most economical and efficient maintenance. No charge will be made for such inspections, but repair or
maintenance operations authorized by you will be charged for at our regular prices for such work.
