The shuttle lever on a 445D only feels vague until the day it will not pick reverse with a bale on the forks, and that is usually the day the dealer is closed. This operator manual for the New Holland 345D, 445D and 545D tractor loaders (serial number A442024 and above, publication 86570567) puts the factory answer in your shop instead of an hour up the road.
Its 156 pages walk through the instrument panel, shuttle and range shifting, the loader valve, and the hydraulic lift and PTO controls, then move into the full lubrication and maintenance schedule: 50, 300, 600 and 1200 hour services, valve clearance, injector care and filter changes on the 332T/JC diesel.
The Specifications section closes it out with capacities, pressures and torque figures, so when you order parts or set wheel nuts you do it once, correctly, and get back in the field.
Complete the set for your 345D, 445D, 545D
