products and manualsLOOK: LOTS OF NEW BOOKS!!!

We are very pleased to offer several new owners and service manuals for the Ford tractor enthusiast. These manuals have been reproduced exactly as original, under a license agreement with Ford Motor Company, with fresh new color covers and sparkling white pages, crisp photos and diagrams. If your original manual is well-worn, keep it in the shop. These you'll want to put away for posterity. They're beautiful! Order these manuals directly from the N-Newsletter. A purchase from us helps to support our continuing research on the great Ford tractors.

FORD TRACTOR-FERGUSON SYSTEM INSTRUCTION BOOK (39-47, for 9N and 2N): This is the exact manual that came with the 9N. We have offered it photocopied for the past 12 years, but now it is available in its original two-tone green cover with beautiful photos and diagrams inside. Includes maintenance info.

SERVICE MANUAL for 9N & 2N (39-47): This 64-page manual produced by Harry Ferguson Inc includes all the service info that was available for the 9N and 2N back then. It is a valuable resource.

ASSEMBLY MANUAL & SERVICE PARTS BOOK (39-52): This is the original N parts book with excellent schematics which explode assemblies. This manual shows which parts are and are not currently serviced.

MASTER PARTS CATALOG 39-53: Described in our Winter '97 issue, this manual helps to cross-over all the parts from 9N to NAA. An excellent research parts book. It is very useful for seeing how all the smaller parts relate to each other. You can plan your job from this book even before you pick up a wrench. You'll see exactly which parts you'll need and their numbers. The parts person, often half the age of your tractor, may be impressed with your preparation. This book will help you understand what is described in shop and owners manuals.

8N OPERATORS MANUAL (48-52): This is the original owners manual #3729 exactly, with a beautiful fresh new color cover and sparkling white pages with crisp new photos and diagrams. Indispensable for 8N owners. Important info on operating and maintaining. Quite indispensable.

8N SERVICE MANUAL (48-52): This is the manual for disassembly, inspection, repair and assembly of 8N systems such as steering, hydraulics, rear axle, etc.

HOW TO USE THE PROOFMETER (48 52): It isn't just a tachometer. This book explains how to use the various features to get the best use and economy while operating. This is an amazingly helpful reference.
NAA OWNERS MANUAL 53-55: If you have an NAA or Golden Jubilee, this is the most basic manual for all operating information. It is exactly as original.

NAA SHOP MANUAL 53-55: If you plan to do any disassembly on your NAA, this is the manual which will talk you through the task.

700-900 OWNERS MANUAL: For the Ford tractors of 1955 with the tricycle front end, this is the operator manual. Specifications and maintenance info are included.

601-801 OWNERS MANUAL: When the new Ford tractor line appeared in 1957, this manual came with the tractor.

701-801 OWNERS MANUAL: This is the operator manual for the tricycle front end version, with specs and maintenance info.

FORD TRACTOR SHOP MANUAL 55-60: Probably the best shop manual ever produced for the 600-700-800-900-601-701-801-901-1801 tractors, this manual even has a big chapter on the Sherman transmission. Many NAA owners have found useful info in this book. We highly recommend it for all service work. Great photos and diagrams. We reviewed this manual in our Summer '92 issue, page 15.

2000-3000-4000-5000 OPERATOR'S MANUAL: (All-Purpose and LCG) This manual aims at the daily care and operation of these Ford tractors, with specs, safety tips, minor adjustment instructions, and more.

SELECT-O-SPEED TRANSMISSION SUPPLEMENT 55-60 (for 2000 & 4000 Direct Drive Clutch Models): For anyone who is thinking about getting down to adjusting or repairing one of these very interesting transmissions, this will be a significant tool.

INSTRUCTION PLOW BOOK: This booklet, one of the best on field plowing, was originally produced for the 9N owner but remained a mainstay for its excellent instructive qualities. If you'd like to learn how to plow, this is the best start.


This next group of shop manuals are what we have always offered in the past. These are the I&T manuals and are quite thorough in many topics, but with gaps in others. These have always been the indispensable second reference, very common in tractor repair shops.

FO-4 SHOP MANUAL: A staple in most service shops, this manual covers the basics, specs, and service data. It is divided into sections according to the major areas: ie, brakes, clutch, electrical, etc. There are many very useful photos and schematics. We sell only the expanded 1995 edition.

THE FO-19 SHOP MANUAL: For the NAA and Golden Jubilee, it is designed just like the FO-4 above. Many excellent photos and diagrams.

THE FO-20 SHOP MANUAL: This manual is for the 600-800, 700-900, 501-541. Use it as well to compare the tractors.

THE FO-201 SHOP MANUAL: For the Fordson Dexta-Super Dexta, Fordson Major Diesel, Fordson Power Major, Fordson Super Major, 5000, 6000, 1000, 1600, 8000-9700, TW 10, -20, -30, this is a larger 95-page compilation and very useful shop manual.

THE FE-2 SHOP MANUAL: Very little is available for the Fergusons TE-20, TO-20, and TO-30 tractors. While similar to the Ns, there are many distinct features for which this manual is quite helpful.

LET'S GET INTO HYDRAULICS: This is an I&T booklet discussing the theory of hydraulics in/on farm tractors. A very popular item among our readers.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS: This theory booklet specifically addresses the process of diagnosing hydraulic problems. A very popular item, it is helpful for learning about types of systems, as well as testing and trouble-shooting hydraulic systems. It discusses circuit sub-assemblies and energy output devices and more.

FARM EQUIPMENT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS: This booklet discusses theories: semiconductors, diodes, transistors, storage batteries, charging circuits, starting circuits, ignition circuits, accessory circuits, testing tools, and diagnosing and trouble-shooting.

There will be more manuals coming soon!
