Part of the Case Repair Manuals.
Need factory data for your Case/international 235, 245, 255, 265, or 275? This 128-page Shop Manual covers the whole tractor lineup, including the 235H hydrostatic and four-wheel-drive variants, with clearances, torque values, and full teardown procedures for every major system. You get complete wiring diagrams for tracing charging and starting faults, hydraulic schematics covering the lift cover, auxiliary valve, and pump, plus a dedicated troubleshooting section for the hydrostatic transmission. Set your main hydraulic relief valve to 15,000-15,500 kPa, and confirm alternator output reads 14 volts at 8 amps at 1300 rpm before you chase a phantom charging complaint. No more guessing at pinion gap or relief pressures from a worn-out photocopy. Bookmarked by system so you jump straight to engine, clutch, or brakes without hunting, then pull it up on your phone right at the tractor.
