Part of the New Holland Repair Manuals.
This is the New Holland factory service manual supplement for the 1215 compact tractor, publication 40121510, delivered as a 154 page PDF. It covers repair, overhaul, troubleshooting, and specifications for the components unique to the 1215, including its 879 cc S723 diesel engine, fuel injection, electrical system, gear and hydrostatic transmissions, power take-off, rear axle and brakes, hydraulics, steering, and front axle.
One thing to know before you buy: this is a supplement to the 1120-1220 Tractor Service Manual #42112020. It documents only what is specific to the 1215; for components shared with the 1120 and 1220, its chapters refer you to that separate manual, which is not included here.
The file is a scanned reprint of the 6/95 edition, so there is no searchable text layer, but you can print any page for the workshop and jump between sections using the built-in bookmarks.
