Part of the Case IH Operator Manuals.
This Case IH DX48, DX55 Operator Manual (OEM #87300478) puts all 126 pages of factory guidance for your compact tractor right where you can use it. Inside you'll find the full instrument panel breakdown, seat and ROPS setup, wiring diagrams for tracing electrical faults, and a complete lubrication and maintenance chart covering every daily and interval check. You get the fuel, hydraulic, and cooling system capacities plus the predelivery service checklist your dealer used before handoff. Fill the fuel tank to 51.0 liters and confirm the hydraulic lift pump moves 45.5 lpm (12.0 U.S. gpm) before you head to the field. No more flipping through a dog-eared paper copy looking for the right service interval. Bookmarked by section so you can jump straight to Operation, Maintenance, or Specifications, this PDF opens on your phone in the cab or on a laptop in the shop whenever you need the real numbers.
