DEAR CUSTOMER PLEASE READ CAREFULLY The
warranty coverage that is extended to your Ford
Tractor is explained in the Warranty and
Limitation of Liability, Ford Tractor and
Equipment form. Your dealer will provide you with
a copy of the warranty and retain a copy which
you have signed. After you read the warranty, ask
your dealer to explain any points that you may
not understand. Do not modify or alter or permit
anyone else to modify or alter this tractor or
any of its com- ponents or any tractor function
without first consulting a Ford Tractor Dealer.
If you have any questions regarding tractor
modifications contact the Ford Tractor Operations
of Ford Motor Company. Ford Tractor Operations
recommends that you equip your tractor with a
Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) or safety
cab and seat belts. ROPS and safety cabs are
effective in reducing injuries during tractor
overturn accidents. Overturning a tractor without
a ROPS or safety cab can result in serious injury
or death. Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS),
safety cabs and seat belts are available for your
Ford Tractor. If your tractor is not equipped
with a ROPS or safety cab and seat belts see your
Ford Tractor Equipment Dealer. Your safety and
the safety of those around you depends upon the
care and good judgement you use while operating
this equipment. Read the safety precautions
carefully. For a complete list of the
pre-delivery service checks performed by your
dealer, refer to PRE- DELIVERY SERVICE on the
upper portion of pages 69 and 71. The copy on
page 69 is your record of the service performed,
and the copy on page 71 which is to be removed
from the manual, is your dealer's record. MAKE
SURE THAT YOU AND THE DEALER SIGN BOTH
COPIES. After you have operated your tractor for
fifty hours, take the manual and your tractor to
your dealer. He will then perform the factory
recommended 50-HOUR SERVICE as listed on the

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS The following precautions are
suggested to help prevent accidents.
A careful operator is the best operator. Most
accidents can be avoided by observing certain
precautions. Read and take the following
precautions before operating this tractor to help
prevent accidents. Equipment should be operated
only by those who are responsible and instructed
to do so.
THE TRACTOR 1. Read the Operators Manual
carefully before using the trac- tor. Lack of
operating knowledge can lead to accidents.
5. Shut off the engine and apply the parking
brake before get- ting off the tractor.
6. Always apply the parking brake and remove the
starter key when leaving the unit parked or
unattended.
2. Use an approved roll bar and seat belt for
safe operation. Over- turning a tractor without a
roll bar can result in death or in- jury. If your
tractor is not equipped with a roll bar and seat
belt, see your Ford Tractor Equipment Dealer.
7. Never leave the unit when it is parked on an
incline. Always park the unit on level ground
where possible. If the unit is to be parked on an
incline, always lower the buckets so that the
cutting lips contact the ground, apply the
parking brake, and securely block the wheels.
3. Always use the seat belt when the roll bar is
installed. Do not use the seat belt if the roll
bar is removed from the tractor.
8. Do not operate the tractor engine in an
enclosed building without adequate ventilation.
Exhaust fumes can suffocate you.
4. If a front end loader is to be installed,
always use a FOPS canopy to avoid injury from
falling objects.
9. If power steering or engine ceases operating,
stop the tractor immediately.
5. Use the handholds and step plates when
getting on and off the tractor to prevent falls.
Keep steps and platform cleared of mud and debris.
DRIVING THE TRACTOR 1. Watch where you are going
especially at row ends, on roads, around trees
and low hanging obstacles.
6. Do not permit anyone but the operator to ride
on the tractor. There is no safe place for extra
riders.
2. To avoid upsets, drive the tractor with care
and at speeds com- patible with safety,
especially when operating over rough ground, when
crossing ditches or slopes, and when turning
corners.
7. Replace all missing, illegible or damaged
safety decals. See list of decals on Page 67.
8. Keep safety decals clean of dirt and grime.
SERVICING THE TRACTOR 1. Cooling system operates
under pressure which is controlled by the
radiator cap. It is dangerous to remove the cap
while system is hot. Always turn cap slowly to
the finn stop and allow pressure to escape before
removing the cap entirely.
3. Lock tractor brake pedals together when
transporting on roads to provide Mo wheel braking.
4. Keep the tractor in the same gear when going
downhill as us- ed when going uphill. Do not
coast or free wheel down hill.
5. Any towed vehicle whose total weight exceeds
that of the tow- ing tractor must be equipped
with brakes for safe operation.
2. Do not smoke while refueling the tractor. Keep
any type of open flame away. Wait for engine to
cool before refueling.
6. When the tractor is stuck or tires are frozen
to the ground, back out to prevent upset.
3. Keep the tractor in good operating condition
for your safety. An improperly maintained tractor
can be hazardous.
7. Always check overhead clearance especially
when transpor- ting the tractor
4. Keep open flame away from battery or cold
weather starting aids to prevent fires or
explosions.
LOADER/BACKHOE OPERATION (When Equipped) 1.
Always be sure of water, gas, sewage and
electrical line loca- tions before you start to
dig.
5. Stop the engine before performing any service
on the tractor.
6. Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else
to modify or alter this tractor or any of its
components or any tractor function without first
consulting a Ford Tractor Equipment Dealer.
2. Watch out for overhead and underground
high-voltage elec- trical lines when operating
the loader or backhoe.
OPERATING THE TRACTOR 1. Apply the parking brake,
and place the transmission in neutral before
starting the tractor.
3. Operate the loader or backhoe controls only
when properly seated at the controls.
4. Never attempt to lift loads in excess of
loader or backhoe capacity.
2. Do not start the engine or operate controls
while standing beside the tractor. Always sit in
the tractor seat when star- ting the engine or
operating controls.
5. Always lower the loader and backhoe buckets
to the ground, shut off the engine and apply the
parking brake before get- ting off the unit.
3. Do not bypass the starter safety switch.
Consult your Ford Tractor-Equipment Dealer if
your starter safety controls malfunction. Use
jumper cables only in the recommended man- ner,
improper use can result in tractor runaway.
6. Always be watchful of bystanders when
operating the loader, when lowering the
stabilizers, or when operating the backhoe.
4. Do not get off the tractor while it is in
motion.
9
7. Use care when operating on steep grades to
maintain proper stability. Always carry the
bucket as low as possible.
4. For safe operation, observe proper maintenance
and repair of all pivot pins, hydraulic
cylinders, hoses, snap rings, and main attaching
bolts prior to each day's operation.
8. Never attach chains, ropes, cables, etc. to
the loader or backhoe for pulling purposes.
5. Always wear safety goggles when servicing or
repairing the machine.
LOADER OPERATION 1. Do not transport anyone in
the loader bucket.
6. When necessary to tow the tractor, do not
exceed 5 mph (8.0 kph). Avoid towing the tractor
over long distances.
2. Always carry the loader bucket low for
maximum stability and visibility, whether the
bucket is loaded or empty.
7. Adequately block up the backhoe or loader
when they are detached from the tractor.
3. Always use the recommended amount of
counterweighting to ensure good stability.
8. Whenever servicing or repairing pins in
cylinder ends, buckets, etc., always use a brass
drift and a hammer. Failure to do so could result
in injury from flying metal fragments.
4. Be careful when handling round objects such
as round bales, poles, etc. Lifting too high or
rolling bucket too far back could result in these
objects rolling rearward down the loader arms on
the operator.
DIESEL FUEL .1 Under no circumstances should
gasoline, alcohol or blended fuels be added to
diesel fuel. These combinations can create an
increased fire or explosive hazard. Such blends
are more explosive than pure gasoline in a closed
container such as a fuel tank. Do not use these
blends.
5. Never allow anyone to get under the loader
bucket or reach through the lift arms when the
bucket is raised.
6. Exercise caution when operating the loader
with a raised loaded bucket or fork.
BACKHOE OPERATION 1. Never allow anyone to get
under the backhoe bucket when the bucket is
raised.
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel the
tractor with the engine running or hot.
3. Do not smoke while refueling or when standing
near fuel.
2. To prevent upsets, avoid full reach and
swinging the backhoe bucket to the downhill side
when operating on a slope.
4. Maintain control of the fuel filter pipe
nozzle when filling the tank.
3. Watch out for overhead and underground
high-voltage elec- trical lines when operating
the backhoe.
5. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow
room for expansion.
4. Do not enter the platform from the rear.
6. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
5. Always attach the backhoe transport chains
before transpor- ting the unit.
7. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
8. If the original fuel tank cap is lost replace
it with a Ford ap- proved cap. A non-approved,
proprietary cap may not be safe.
6. Always place the torque converter shule lever
in neutral before operating backhoe.
MAINTENANCE 1. Never make repairs or tighten
hydraulic hoses or fittings when the system is
under pressure, when the engine is running, or
when the loader or backhoe cylinders are under a
load.
9. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.
10. Do not drive equipment near open fires.
11. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
2. Always keep the brakes and power steering
system in good operating condition.
12. Arrange fuel purchases so that winter grade
fuels are not held over and used in the spring.
3. Do not lubricate or make mechanical
adjustments while the unit is in motion or when
the engine is running. However, if minor engine
adjustments must be made, apply the parking
brake, securely block the wheels, and use extreme
caution. Be certain that the loader is fully
lowered or supported so that it cannot fall.
