This is the Ford illustrated parts manual for the 1500 compact tractor, a two-cylinder diesel built from 1979 to 1982. Its 230 pages are an exploded-diagram parts catalog, listing Ford part numbers alongside the drawings so you can identify and order the exact component you need. Many groups also cover the related 1300, 1700 and 1900 models.
The manual is organized by system: engine, fuel system, transmission and clutch, cooling, rear axle, electrical, front axle and steering (including power steering and 4WD), and hydraulic lift. Further sections cover sheet metal, wheels and weights, the instrument panel, decals, seats and accessories, plus an abbreviations glossary and a metric to inch conversion table.
Use it to look up part numbers for repairs, verify what fits your 1500, and order replacement parts with confidence.
