Part of the Case IH Repair Manuals.
Strip down, set up and diagnose a Case IH Farmall 55A, 65A or 75A with this factory service manual. It is CNH part number 51489994, 1st edition October 2018. The spec tables apply to all three models alike.
It covers pre-delivery, clutch, transmission, 4WD, both axles, PTO, brakes, hydraulic lifter, steering, cab climate, loader and bodywork. Transmission chapters cover mechanical and power shuttle boxes, 8x8, 12x12 and 20x20 with crawl speed, at 30 or 40 km/h. Wiring schematics come in two sets, one for ROPS tractors and one for cab tractors.
When the tractor quits in the yard and there is nobody to ask, the FAULT CODES section takes each ECU code through cause, failure modes and a step-by-step fix. You end up with the tractor running and back in the field before the weather turns.

Case IH Farmall 55A–75A Common Problems This Manual Covers
Clutch slipping
The clutch is a two-disk dry setup with mechanical control. The book lists these slipping causes: worn clutch disks, worn pressure plate and flywheel, deformed or damaged disk springs, and disks contaminated with oil and grease. When you rebuild it, set the release sleeve opening clearance to 0.050 - 0.151 mm.
Manual Section: Clutch p. 62Four-wheel drive will not engage
The dual-drive section lists these causes: faulty engage/disengage switch, faulty solenoid valve control contact, jammed solenoid valve, stretched spring, low transmission oil, blocked hydraulic oil filter and hydraulic pump malfunction. It covers both the mechanical control and the electro-hydraulic dual-drive gearbox, so you can work down the list on your version.
Manual Section: Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) system p. 176Independent PTO not working
The PTO section lists these causes: insufficient transmission oil level, blocked oil filter, PTO clutch solenoid valve stuck in the feed position, seal leaks causing a pressure drop, and control valve malfunction. The electro-hydraulic control pages show the valve and solenoid layout.
Manual Section: Power Take-Off (PTO) p. 288Three-point hitch drops the load with the engine off, or lifts jerkily
The lifter section lists these causes for a load lowering with the engine off: worn piston retaining ring, uncalibrated drain valve, and oil leaking from the safety valve or check valve. For jerky lifting it lists low reservoir oil, a blocked pump inlet filter and air in the pump suction line.
Manual Section: Hydraulic systems p. 351Frequently Asked Questions
What do the fault codes on a Farmall 55A / 65A / 75A mean?
Codes are printed as a number plus a DTC, like 3007 (DTC 131-03). That one means engine coolant temperature sensor B-9003 voltage is higher than expected, with a signal greater than 4.93 V. ECU A-9000 then uses a fixed replacement value of 89.96 °C (193.93 °F). Each code comes with context, cause, possible failure modes and a step-by-step solution using the Electronic Service Tool (EST) and a multimeter. Particulate filter codes are listed too. Code 3656 (DTC 49D-04) is for information only, and no further action is required unless other codes are present. p. 861
What are the wheel bolt torque specs for a Case IH Farmall 55A–75A tractor?
The M 16 x 1.5 bolts that hold the front wheel rim to the wheel hub take 260 N·m (26.5 kgm). The M 45 x 1.5 front wheel hub bearing lock nut takes 118 N·m (12 kgm). Both are in the front axle torque table, next to the final drive and differential procedures. p. 200
How much oil does the engine and transmission take?
The crankcase takes 7,9 L unfiltered / 8,6 L filtered of CASE IH AKCELA UNITEK 10W-40 or CASE IH AKCELA UNITEK SSL 0W-40. The mechanical transmission takes 30 L and the power shuttle takes 35 L. Use CASE IH AKCELA NEXPLORE FLUID or CASE IH AKCELA HY-TRAN ULTRACTION. The cooling system holds 9 L and the fuel tank holds 82 L. p. 19
What is the three-point hitch lift capacity and relief valve setting on a Case IH Farmall 55A-75A?
Lifting capacity is 2700 kg on the spherical cuffs, or 1950 kg with the centre of gravity 610 mm away. The hitch is Category I and II. The hydraulic lifter pressure adjustment valve is set at 190-195 bar and the lifter cylinder safety valve at 220 bar. p. 342
What engine speed gives 540 at the PTO shaft?
Standard 540 rpm at the PTO shaft needs 1958 RPM at the engine. 540E needs 1592 RPM. The PTO chapter covers the rear mechanical control, the rear electro-hydraulic control and the two-speed rear PTO. p. 274
