Part of the New Holland Parts Manuals.
Need the right part number for your 1988-1992 Ford tractor loader? This 356-page Ford 445C parts catalog PDF covers the 445C along with the 345C, 345D, 445D, 545C, and 545D. Every assembly gets an exploded view with numbered callouts tied to factory part numbers: front axle and steering, transmission gears and PTO, hydraulic lift cylinders, loader control valve, bucket and subframe, right down to seat cushions and safety decals. Seal kits, gear sets, and shim packs are broken out piece by piece, so you can order a single seal instead of a whole assembly. Identify your hydraulic pump by its 1600 PSI rating, then pick shims in exact 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm sizes. Ordering the wrong part twice kills a week. Bookmarked and keyword-searchable: jump to the diagram, read the number, order once.

Ford New Holland 345C–545D Series Common Problems This Manual Covers
Ford 445C power steering pump leaking at the reservoir, can't identify the right seal kit
Check the Power Steering Pump & Reservoir exploded view starting on page 26. Match your pump against the gear set, seal, and valve assembly callouts, then pull the seal numbers from the parts list. Verify the replacement pump is the unit rated 1600 PSI, shown on page 27, and note your serial number before ordering.
Manual Section: Power Steering Pump & Reservoir p. 26Hydraulic lift cylinder weeping at the rod, need the correct seal kit part number
Check the Hydraulic Lift Cylinder exploded view on page 76 and match your cylinder against the tube, rod, piston, and gland callouts. The seal kit is listed as its own line item in the parts list. Confirm the seals suit the 1600 PSI pump pressure shown on page 27 before you order anything.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Lift Cylinder p. 76Engine runs cold in winter, not sure which replacement thermostat the parts list calls for
Check the thermostat listing on page 123: the standard unit is rated at 168 degrees. Match that temperature rating when cross-referencing aftermarket numbers, because a hotter or colder element changes running temperature. Find the housing and gasket callouts on the engine parts diagram on page 122 and order the gasket with the thermostat.
Manual Section: Engine Parts Diagram p. 123Battery not charging, unsure whether the tractor came with the 51 amp or 70 amp alternator
Verify the amperage stamped on your alternator tag before ordering anything. The 51 AMP unit is cataloged on page 276, while the 55 Amp and 70 Amp versions appear on page 279. Match the pulley and mounting bracket callouts in the exploded view, then confirm your serial number range in the parts list.
Manual Section: System 118 p. 276Transmission solenoid replacement, can't tell which shim thickness goes back in during reassembly
Measure the shim you removed with calipers before ordering; the parts list on page 196 catalogs both 0.5mm and 1.0mm thicknesses under separate part numbers. Order both sizes if the old shim is damaged beyond measuring, then match the original stack height at reassembly. Confirm the solenoid part number against your serial range in the same list.
