Publication 42110012, the 56 page Ford 1100 operator manual PDF, sets out how Ford intended you to start, work, and service this compact diesel tractor. Lubrication and maintenance take up better than a third of the book, running from the service chart through fuel and lubricant procedures for both the two wheel drive and four wheel drive versions. Controls and instruments, break in, PTO and differential lock operation, wheel tread settings, ballasting, tire pressures, and the predelivery and 50 hour checks each get their own coverage. Change the diesel fuel filter every 200 hours, and set fan belt deflection to 7/16 to 9/16 inch under 20 to 25 pounds of thumb pressure, straight from Ford's own tables. A belt figure guessed from memory can cook a water pump halfway through hay season. Buy this bookmarked, keyword searchable PDF once and it stays with your tractor for good, ready before the next weather window opens.

Ford 1100 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Clutch pedal has too much slack and gears grind when shifting ranges
Measure clutch pedal free travel before touching anything else; the specifications on page 43 calls for 3/4 to 1-3/16 inches (19 to 30 mm) of slack at the pedal. Adjust the linkage until travel falls in that range, then verify clean gear engagement with the engine at low idle, 750 to 850 rpm.
Manual Section: Brake and Clutch Adjustment p. 43Steering wheel feels sloppy with excessive play before the front wheels respond
Measure free play at the steering wheel rim; anything beyond 0.78 to 1.38 inches (20 to 35 mm) needs correction, per the specifications on page 43. Check front wheel toe-in against the 0 to 13/64 inch spec on the same page, and rock each front wheel top to bottom to feel for loose bearings before the next field day.
Manual Section: Steering and Front Wheel Bearings p. 43Frequently Asked Questions
What is the engine oil capacity for the Ford 1100 tractor?
The engine crankcase capacity for the Ford 1100 is 3.2 U.S. quarts (3.0 liters) when less filter, and 3.5 U.S. quarts (3.3 liters) with a filter change. p. 43
How often should the hydraulic filter be serviced on the Ford 1100?
Check the transmission, rear axle and hydraulic oil level every 50 hours with the tractor standing level and the engine off, since all three share one oil supply. Check the hydraulic system filter after the first 50 hours, then clean it every 300 hours and change it every 600 hours. The filter sits by the pump on the front left side of the engine. p. 29
How do I restart a Ford 1100 that starts hard or dies after running out of fuel?
Drain water from the fuel filter and change the element every 200 hours as covered on page 27. If the tank ran dry, bleed the fuel system using the procedure on the same page until fuel flows free of air bubbles. Follow the cold weather starting steps on page 13 before cranking again. p. 27
What should I check when the Ford 1100 engine temperature climbs during heavy tillage or mowing?
Check coolant level with the engine cold and inspect the radiator cap; it should hold 13 psi per the specifications on page 43. Test fan belt tension: a correct belt deflects 7/16 to 9/16 inch (10 to 15 mm) under 20 to 25 pounds of thumb pressure midway between pulleys, per page 32. Clean chaff and debris from the radiator screen. p. 32
