Essential Technical Value

Unlike generic repair books, this SHOP Manual uses dual dimensions (Metric and U.S. Customary) to ensure precision for every bolt and clearance. It dives deep into the Shibaura-built diesel engines—ranging from the 2-cylinder LEK757C in the Ford 1100 to the powerful 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder units like the T854B found in the Ford 2110.

Key Technical Features:

• Condensed Service Data: Instant access to firing orders, valve clearances (cold), injection timing, and governed speeds (low/high idle and rated load).
• Comprehensive Torque Specifications: Detailed charts for critical components including cylinder heads (noting the difference between 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm bolts), connecting rod caps, and flywheels.
• Detailed Fluid Capacities: Exact measurements for cooling systems, crankcases, fuel tanks, and the complex shared sumps used for transmissions and hydraulic systems.

Professional Maintenance & Overhaul Sections

• Engine Service: Full R&R (Remove and Reinstall) procedures, including cylinder head service, camshaft and cam follower inspection, and piston/rod unit overhaul.
• Transmission Variations: Specialized coverage for the Non-synchromesh, Synchromesh, and Hydrostatic (HST) transmissions. Includes troubleshooting for HST units that fail to move or operate erratically.
• Advanced Hydraulics: Detailed service for the hydraulic lift arm housing, control valves, and system testing. It even covers the priority flow control valves used on power steering models.
• Axle & Steering: Complete teardowns for both 2-Wheel Drive (2WD) and 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) front axles, including bevel drive gears and differential adjustments using dial indicators for precise backlash.

Identification & Serial Numbers

To ensure you are ordering the correct parts and following the right specifications, this manual guides you to the identification tag located on the left side of the transmission housing. This tag contains the Tractor Model Number, Serial Number, and Engine Number. Special sections highlight changes effective with specific serial numbers, such as the late-model drive components for the Ford 1110 (effective SN UB00606) and Ford 1210 (effective SN UC0105).

Wiring & Electrical

The manual includes high-resolution wiring diagrams for every model, including specific diagrams for "early production" (prior to July 1985) versus "late production" (July 1985 and after). These schematics cover everything from the glow plug circuits to the safety start switches and hazard lighting.

Whether you are a collector restoring a classic Ford tractor or a farmer keeping your workhorse in the field, this SHOP Manual is the most valuable tool in your toolbox. Experience the confidence of having factory-level specifications and exploded-view diagrams.
