FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY

(North America Only)

(California ownerís emissions warranty is covered elsewhere)

New Holland warrants that your new 1996 and later heavy-duty off-road diesel engine was designed, built, and equipped to conform to

applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations for a period of use of five years or 3,000 hours of operation, whichever occurs

first.

The new model year, class of diesel engine, and emission application determination for your engine are identified on the emission control

information label affixed to the top of your engineís rocker arm cover. The warranty period begins on the date the new equipment is sold to the

first retail purchaser.

Any emission control system parts which are proven defective during normal use will be repaired or replaced during the warranty period. The

warranty repairs and service will be performed by any authorized New Holland dealer at the dealerís place of business, with no charge for parts

or labor (including diagnosis).

As theengineowner, youareresponsibletoperformalltherequiredmaintenancelistedinyour ownerís manual. NewHolland willnot deny an

emission warranty claim solely because you have no record of maintenance; however, a claim may be denied if your failure to perform

maintenance resulted in the failure of a warranted part. Receipts covering regular maintenance should be retained in the event of questions

and these receipts should be passed on to each subsequent owner of the engine.

It is recommended replacement parts used for maintenance or repairs be New Holland Service Parts to maintain the quality originally

designed into your emission certified engine. The use of non-New Holland parts does not invalidate the warranty on other components unless

the use of such parts causes damage to warranted parts.

New Holland wishes to assure the emission control systems warranty is being properly administered. If you believe you have not received the

service entitled to under this warranty, you should contact the nearest New Holland Branch Office for assistance. The address and phone

number of each Branch Office is in your vehicle ownerís manual. If additional assistance or information is needed, contact:

Service Department

New Holland North America, Inc.

500 Diller Avenue

New Holland, PA 17557

(717) 355-1121

Please note that the Emission Warranty does not cover:

1. Systems and parts that were not first installed on the new equipment or engine as original equipment by New Holland.

2. Part malfunctions caused by abuse, misuse, improper adjustment, modification, alteration, tampering, disconnection, improper or

inadequate maintenance, or use of non-recommended fuels and lubricating oils.

3. Accident caused damage, acts of nature, or other events beyond New Hollandís control.

4. Replacement of expendable items made in connection with scheduled maintenance.

5. Parts requiring replacement, inspection or adjustment maintenance intervals for reasons other than being defective.

6. Parts which are not New Holland Service Parts.

7. Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use of equipment/engine or commercial loss.

8. Equipment with altered or disconnected hourmeter where the hours cannot be determined.

9. Equipment normally operated outside the United States.

CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

(North America Only)

(California Only)

Your Warranty Rights and Obligations

The California Air Resources Board and New Holland are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your engine. In California,

new 1997 and later heavy-duty off-road engines from 100 to 150 HP must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the Stateís stringent

anti-smog standards. New Holland must warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below, provided there

has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your engine.

Your emission control system includes parts such as the fuel injection system and the air induction system.

Where a warrantable condition exists, New Holland will repair your heavy-duty off-road engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts, and labor.

Manufacturerís Warranty Coverage:

The 1997 and later heavy-duty off-road engines are warranted from the original date of delivery for five years or 3,000 hours of operation,

whichever occurs first. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by New Holland.

Ownerís Warranty Responsibilities:

D As the heavy-duty off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your ownerís

manual. New Holland recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your heavy-duty off-road engine, but New

Holland cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

D As the heavy-duty off-road engine owner, you should, however, be aware that New Holland may deny you warranty coverage if your

heavy-duty off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.

D Your engine is designed to operate on commercially available diesel fuel only. Use of any other fuel may result in your engine no longer

operating in compliance with Californiaís emissions requirements.

D You are responsible for initiating the warranty process. The ARB suggests that you present your heavy-duty off-road engine to a New

Holland dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed by the dealer as expeditiously as possible.

If you have questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact your Branch Office at the address and phone

number listed on the Owner Assistance page of your equipments operator manual.

D Priortotheexpirationof thewarranty, youmust givenoticeofany failureof anemissioncontrolwarrantedpart.Suchnoticemust begiven

to New Holland or an authorized dealer, and you must deliver the engine to the repair location.

D You, the owner, are responsible for incidental costs incurred by yourself or your employees as a result of a warrantable failure. Examples

of such costs are communication expenses, meals and lodging.

D The owner is responsible for any business costs or losses, any ìdowntimeî expenses and any ìcargoî damage which result from the

failure of a warranted part. New Holland is not responsible for other incidental or consequential damages, including but not limited to fines,

theft, vandalism or collisions.

Parts covered:

This emission control system warranty applies to the following emission control parts.

Fuel Injection Pump

Fuel Injectors

Turbocharger

Intake Manifold

Exhaust Manifold

Boost Pressure Tubing-connection to Aneroid Device ON F.I.P.

Any replacement part, equivalent in performance and durability, may be used in the performance of any maintenance or repairs and must be

provided without charge to the owner. The use of these parts does not reduce the warranty obligations of New Holland. However, New Holland

recommends the use of new, genuine New Holland service parts or New Holland approved rebuilt parts and assemblies. New Holland also

recommends that the engine be serviced by a New Holland authorized dealer.

New Holland Responsibilities

Warranty work will be provided at no charge to the owner at any authorized dealer, using new genuine New Holland service parts or New

Holland approved rebuilt parts or assemblies..

The owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a warranted part is defective, if the diagnostic work was

performed at a warranty station.

New Holland is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure under warranty of any warranted part.

Warranty Limitations

New Holland is not responsible for failures resulting from abuse or neglect by owner or operator.

New Holland warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is designed, built, and equipped so as to

conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board, and that it is free from defects in materials and workmanship which

cause the failure of a warranted part.

Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance, or which is scheduled only for regular inspection to the

effect of ìrepair or replace as necessaryî is warranted for the warranty period.

Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance is warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled

replacement point for that part.

New Holland is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure under warranty of any warranted part.

SEAT, SEAT BELT, AND ROLLOVER

PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS)

Adjusting the Tractor Seat

Your New Holland tractor is equipped with an

adjustable suspension seat.

To move the seat fore and aft, raise the release lever,

1. Because the seat is on an inclined base, more

effort is required to move the seat rearward than

forward.

19984109

ADJUSTING THE SEAT BELT

The male end of the seat belt, 2, is part of a retraction

mechanism, located on the left side of the seat. To

extend length of seat belt, pull out on male end until

correct length is obtained. To latch belt, insert male

end, 2, into belt latch, 3, located on right side of seat.

Be sure belt is securely latched and belt length is

adjusted correctly for size of operator.

Use soap and water to clean the seat belt if

necessary. Do not use carbon tetrachloride,

naphtha, etc., as these substances will weaken the

webbing. Additionally, do not bleach or redye the

10020238

webbing, as these products will also weaken the

webbing.

Replace the seat belt if it becomes damaged or worn.

2-1

SECTION 2 - OPERATION

Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS)

A Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat

belts are standard equipment on this tractor at the

time of factory assembly. If the ROPS was deleted by

the original purchaser or has been removed, it is

recommended that you equip your tractor with a

ROPS and seat belts.

ROPS are effective in reducing injuries in the event

of tractor overturn. Overturning a tractor without a

ROPS installed can result in serious injury or death.

The Rollover Protective Structure and seat belts are

available from your New Holland Dealer.

19984233

Additionally, the safety offered by the ROPS and seat

belt is minimized if your seat belt is not buckled.

Always use your seat belt: it can save your life.

WARNING

Do not operate the tractor with the rollover

protective structure folded as a standard

operating mode. A folded ROPSdoesnotprovide

rollover protection.

Always wear the seat belt when the tractor is

equipped with a ROPS. However, if the ROPS has

been removed from the tractor, or if the ROPS is

in the folded position, the seat belt should not be

used.

SECTION 2 - OPERATION

TRACTOR HYDRAULICS

HYDRAULIC POWER LIFT (H.P.L.)

The H.P.L. lever, 1, is located on the right-hand

control pod. The lever controls the position of the two

lift arms.

To lower the lift arms, move the H.P.L. lever forward.

To raise the lift arms, move the lever rearward. An

adjustable stop, 2, is located in this quadrant for

returning the lever to a preset position.

The hydraulic lift system provides accurate, smooth,

and instant hydraulic power for raising a variety of

compatible equipment whenever the engine is

19981877

running. The systemís position control feature

maintains the selected height or depth of three-point

linkage equipment in relation to the tractor. When the

hydraulic lift control lever is moved to a higher or

lower setting in the quadrant, the system repositions

the equipment to a higher or lower position and

maintains the selected position.

WARNING

Make sure the area is clear of people before

lowering equipment.

POSITION CONTROL

Position control provides easy, accurate control of

three-point linkage equipment which operates above

the ground, such as sprayers, rakes, mowers, etc. It

also provides uniform depth when using a blade or

similar equipment on ground level.

When operating in position control, there is a definite

relationship between the position of the control lever

in the quadrant and the position of the equipment.

The lever must be moved to change the position of

the equipment relative to the tractor. The system will

automatically maintain the equipment in the selected

position.

2-18

SECTION 2 - OPERATION

SINGLE-LEVER POSITION ADJUSTMENTS

LINKAGE ADJUSTMENTS

The length of the position control rod is critical and

careful adjustment must be observed for proper

operation. If the control rod is adjusted too short, the

control valve spool will remain in the raised position

when the lift arms have reached their maximum

height and the system relief valve will blow. If the

control rod is too long, the control valve spool will

return to neutral before the lift arms reach their full

height.

The position control rod should be adjusted any time

the link is disconnected for service to the hydraulic

system, or any time the relief valve operation is

noticed while the lift arms are at the full raise position.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

1. Loosen the locknut, 1, on the position control rod,

2, and remove the rod from the lift arm, 3.

2. Set the control lever, 4, to the highest position.

3. Start the engine. The lift arms should raise and

the relief valve should operate.

4. Move the control lever forward until the relief

valve stops operating.

5. Adjust the length of the position control rod to

align the rod with the hole in the lift arms. Then

19981254

extend the rod one additional complete turn.

Install the cotter pin and tighten the nuts.

6. Check the operation. The relief valve should not

operate with the lift arms fully raised.

2-19

Push the control lever forward or pull it sideways to

the left to retract the cylinder. Release the control

lever to stop the cylinder in any position before it is

fully extended. The lever automatically returns to

neutral. Fully forward past the detent position is a

ìFLOATî position which allows a cylinder to extend or

retract freely.

The two spool valve is equipped with a valve lock

feature. The valve lock, mechanically locks the boom

spool linkage in the neutral position, (if loader is

installed), the lock does not affect the bucket spool

linkage. To operate lock, pull and turn the knob, 1, to

release valve lock. To engage lock, turn knob and

release, the lock mechanism is spring loaded to the

engaged position.

NOTE: The valve lock is recommended to be used to

prevent accidental activation of the boom spool

during operation of the tractor. The lock is not

intended and will not prevent leak down of loader

boom during periods of storage.

WARNING

Before disconnecting cylinders or equipment,

make sure that the implement or equipment is

supported securely.

Remote couplers must be properly mounted and

securely fastened to the tractor mounting

bracket for proper functioning of the safety

3-11

SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

COOLING SYSTEM

The tractor engine must operate at the correct

temperature to obtain maximum efficiency and

service life. This is dependent on the cooling system.

Always fill the system with a

50/50

solution of

permanent antifreeze and clear water.

Checking the Coolant Level

NOTE: Check the coolant level daily or after every 10

hours of operation. The engine should be cold when

50022452

coolant level is checked.

Open the hood, and check the coolant recovery

reservoir located next to the air cleaner. The fluid

should be between the low and the full marks on the

reservoir, 2.

If the coolant recovery reservoir is empty, remove the

radiator cap, 1, and add a 50/50 solution of water and

antifreeze until the radiator is full. Then add the water

antifreeze solution to the coolant recovery reservoir

until it is to the full level.

WARNING

10020242

The cooling system operates under pressure

controlled by the radiator cap. It is dangerous to

remove the cap while the system is hot. Always

cover the cap with a thick cloth and turn it slowly

counterclockwise to the first stop. Allow all

pressure to escape before removing the cap

completely.

If the coolant level is below the low mark on the

reservoir, add a

50/50

solution of water and

antifreeze to the coolant recovery reservoir bringing

the level to the full mark.

Be sure that the radiator fins are clear of chaff and dirt

to allow free air movement.

3-15

SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

Draining and Flushing the Cooling System

NOTE: Drain and flush the radiator and engine block

every 12 months. Refill with a 50/50 mixture of

permanent antifreeze and clear water.

To drain the cooling system:

Use a suitable receptacle to catch the used

coolant. Remove the radiator cap and open the

drain valve, 1, on the right-hand tractor frame to

drain the radiator and engine block.

After the coolant has drained, place a water hose

19983645

in the radiator filler neck and run water through

the system. When water is flowing from the block

drain valve, start the engine. When the water

flowing from the drain valve is free of

discoloration and sediment, stop the engine and

remove the hose. Allow all water to drain from the

system through the drain valves.

Close the drain valve and slowly refill the system

with a 50/50 solution of permanent antifreeze

and clear water. Fill until the coolant level is

approximately 3.8 cm-5 cm (1-1/2″-2″) below the

bottom of the filler neck. Do not fill beyond this

level.

Clean the radiator cap and cap seal and install

the cap.

Fill the coolant recovery reservoir bringing the

fluid level up until it is between the full and low

marks on the reservoir.

Clean the radiator front screen, 2.

Run the engine until normal operating tempera-

ture is reached, then stop the engine. Recheck

the coolant level when the engine is cold and add

additional coolant as necessary.

IMPORTANT: Never run the engine when the cooling

system is empty. Do not add cold water or cold

antifreeze solution if the engine is hot.

19983646

3-16

SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

Thermostat

The thermostat is a heat-sensitive valve located in

the coolant outlet connection in the front of the

cylinder head.

When the engine is cold, the thermostat shuts off the

flow of coolant to the radiator, allowing for rapid

engine warm-up. A recirculating bypass allows

coolant to circulate inside the engine whenever the

thermostat shuts off flow to the radiator.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to improve cooling by

removing the thermostat. This will cause the engine

to run below normal working temperatures, resulting

in excessive engine wear.

To install a new thermostat, 1, position it in the recess

of the water outlet connection so that the heat

element (spring end) is in the cylinder head of the

engine.

Fan Belt

NOTE: Check the condition of the fan belt after every

50 hours of operation. Check fan belt tension after

every 200 hours of operation.

A belt-driven fan located at the front of the engine

draws air through the fins of the radiator to lower the

temperature of the radiator coolant.

When 9-11 kg (20-25 lbs.) of thumb pressure is

applied midway between the belt pulleys, a correctly

tightened belt will deflect

mm-15

(7/16″-9/16″).

19983638

If the fan belt is slipping, fan efficiency is lowered,

resulting in the engine running too hot. If the belt is

too tight, the life of the alternator bearing will be

shortened. If the fan belt shows signs of cracking or

fraying, install a new one.

3-17

SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

BATTERY

The tractor is equipped with a BCI group 45, 12-volt

battery with a minimum cold cranking ability of 325

amps at -18°C (0°F).

Make sure the battery connections are tight and free

of corrosion. A solution of baking soda and water may

be used to wash the outside surface and terminals of

the battery when necessary. However, make sure the

solution does not get inside the battery. After

cleaning, wash the battery with clean water, then

apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the

terminals to prevent corrosion.

50022453

In freezing temperatures, a good battery charge

must be maintained. If the battery becomes

discharged or run down, the electrolyte becomes

weak and may freeze, causing damage to the case.

If you must add water, use distilled water. Add the

water just before using the tractor so that the water

will mix with the electrolyte during the charging

process, thus preventing the water from freezing.

To determine the battery charge, check the specific

gravity of the electrolyte.

Checking the Electrolyte Level

NOTE: Check the battery electrolyte level after every

50 hours of operation.

WARNING

Always check the electrolyte level with the

tractor engine off, as an explosive gas is

produced inside the battery when the alternator

is charging. Do not use an exposed flame and do

not smoke when checking the battery electrolyte

level.

To check the battery electrolyte level:

1. Clean the top of the battery, then remove the vent

plugs.

2. Add distilled water if the electrolyte level is low.

The level is correct when the liquid is 6.35 mm

(1/4″) above the plates.

NOTE: Keep distilled water in a nonmetallic

container that is clean and well-covered.

3-20

SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

3. Install the vent plug after making sure the vent

holes are not blocked. At below freezing

temperatures, run the engine for a period of time

after adding water, allowing the battery to charge,

which prevents the water from freezing.

ALTERNATOR

The tractorís 35-amp alternator is belt-driven from

the engine crankshaft pulley. It is important that belt

slippage does not occur, or the charging system will

be affected. To adjust the belt, see the instructions

previously given under the ìFan Beltî section.

Other than belt adjustment, the only alternator

maintenance required is to periodically inspect the

terminals to ensure they are clean and tight. The

alternator cooling fan should also be cleaned

periodically.

19983638

When working on or checking the alternator, adhere

to following precautions or alternator damage may

occur:

• Do not UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES short

the field terminal of the alternator to ground.

• Do not disconnect the alternator output lead or

battery cables while the alternator is operating.

• Do not remove the alternator from the tractor

without first disconnecting the negative

(-)

battery cable. When removing the battery,

disconnect the negative (-) cable first.

• To install a battery, MAKE SURE that the positive

(+) cable is connected first and that the negative

terminal is connected to ground. Reverse

polarity will destroy the rectifier diodes in the

alternator.

If the battery charge warning light illuminates,

indicating that the alternator is not charging the

battery, check the fan belt and the wiring

connections. If these items are in satisfactory

condition and the warning light continues to indicate

no charge, consult your New Holland Dealer.

SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN

Front wheel toe-in adjustments were made on your

tractor at the factory. Normally, the wheels maintain

their toe-in; however, an occasional check should be

made.

Checking Toe-In

To check toe-in:

1. With the front wheels in the straight ahead

position, mark the front of the wheels (not the

tires) at wheel hub height.

2. Measure and record the distance between the

front of the wheels at the marks, then push the

tractor forward or backward until the marks are at

wheel hub height on the rear of the wheel.

3. Measure and record the distance between the

marks at the rear of the wheels.

4. The difference between the dimensions re-

corded in step 2 and step 3 should give 0 mm-5

mm (0″-13/64″) toe-in. This means that the

distance between the marks on the wheels

should be 0 mm-5 mm (0″-13/64″) greater when

the marks are at the rear than at the front.

Adjusting Toe-In

If toe-in is not correct, adjust as follows:

1. Loosen the tie rod locknuts, 1.

2. Adjust the tie rod tube assembly, 2, as required

to give 0″-13/64″ (0 mm-5 mm) toe-in.

3. After the correct toe-in is obtained, tighten the tie

rod locknuts.

3-27

SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

Changing the Front Axle Differential Case and

Final Reduction Gear Case Oil

NOTE: The front axle differential case and final

reduction gear case oil should be changed after

every 300 operating hours.

1. Place a suitable container beneath the oil plug.

With the oil at normal operating temperature,

drain the oil by removing the drain plug, 1, on the

standard FWD axle. After the oil has drained,

reinstall the drain plug and discard the used oil.

19983634

2. Remove the dipstick/filler plug,

3, on the

left-hand side of the axle housing. Fill the axle

with NH 134 hydraulic oil until the oil level is

between the full mark and the lower end of the

dipstick. Reinstall the dipstick/filler plug.

NOTE: Approximate fluid capacity for the differential

axle housing is 1 L (1.06 U.S. qts.).

NOTE: To obtain correct oil level reading, do not

screw dipstick into axle housing when checking oil

level.

19981869

3. Remove the drain plug,

4, from each final

reduction gear case. After the oil has drained,

reinstall each drain plug and discard the used oil.

Remove the filler plug,

5, from each final

reduction gear case and fill with NH 134 hydraulic

oil so that the oil level is at the bottom of the fill

port opening. Reinstall each filler plug.

NOTE: Approximate final reduction gear case fluid

capacity is 0.4 liter (0.38 U.S. qts.) per side.

multipurpose, lithium-base grease.

19983634

TRACTOR STORAGE

Below is a list of protective measures which should

be taken if your tractor is to be stored for an extended

period of time:

1. Thoroughly clean the tractor. Use touch-up paint

where necessary to prevent rust.

2. Check the tractor for worn or damaged parts.

Install new parts as required.

3. Raise the lift arms hydraulically to their fullest

raised position so that the lift piston is in a fully

extended position. This fills the cylinder with oil

and protects the cylinder wall surfaces from

corrosion.

4. Lubricate the tractor.

5. Fill the fuel tank with No. 1 diesel fuel.

IMPORTANT: Do not use No. 2 diesel fuel for winter

storage because of wax separation and setting at low

temperature.

3-31

SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

6. Open the drain valve of the radiator and engine

block. Flush the system, close the drain valves,

and fill with a

50/50

solution of permanent

antifreeze and clear water.

7. Remove the battery and clean it thoroughly. Be

sure that it is fully charged and that the electrolyte

is at the proper level. Store the battery in a cool,

dry place above freezing temperature, and

charge it periodically during storage.

8. Place blocking under the tractor axles to remove

the weight from the tires.

9. Cover the exhaust pipe opening.

10. Depress the clutch pedal, 1, to separate the

clutch disc from the flywheel. Place pedal spacer,

2, between the clutch pedal and step plate.

19983635

Tractors which have been placed in storage should

be completely serviced in the following manner

before using:

1. Inflate the tires to the recommended pressures

and remove the blocking.

2. Check the oil level in the engine crankcase,

power steering reservoir, the common sump (for

the hydraulic lift, transmission, and rear axle),

and the optional front-wheel drive axle.

3. Install a fully charged battery and remove the

exhaust cover if other than a rain cap.

19984096

4. Check the cooling system for the proper level

(50/50 solution of antifreeze and clear water).

5. Depress the clutch pedal until there is clearance

between the pedal and the pedal spacer.

Remove the pedal spacer from between the

clutch pedal and the step plate.

6. Start the engine and allow it to idle a few minutes.

Ensure the engine is receiving lubrication and

that each control is functioning correctly.

7. Drive the tractor without a load and check to

make sure it is operating satisfactorily.
