Built for the Ford TW5, TW15, TW25 and TW35 and the 8530, 8630, 8730 and 8830 six-cylinder tractors, Ford Service Manual 40000580 (Reprint) holds all six volumes in thirteen parts. The foreword calls them the Ford TW Series and 30 Series. The Ultra-Command powershift, Dana FWD axle and 8530 to 8830 wiring chapters are written for the 30 Series by name.
The book gives the test figures, oil flow diagrams and trouble shooting charts for each part.
Serial numbers and production date codes are in the engine part. Hydraulics change at April 1985 and cabs at November 1985. Check which side of those dates your tractor was built on.
