Part of the New Holland Repair Manuals.
This is the full factory repair manual for the Ford New Holland 455C, 555C and 655C tractor loader backhoes, the same service information a dealer technician works from. It covers the whole machine: the 3-cylinder diesel in the 455C and the 4-cylinder diesel (naturally aspirated and turbocharged) in the 555C and 655C, the cooling and lubrication systems, the fuel system, the clutch and transmission, the front axle and four-wheel drive, the steering, the rear axle, differential and brakes, the loader, the backhoe and their hydraulic systems, and the full electrical section with the wiring diagrams. Every section carries the specifications and clearances, the functional adjustments, the fault finding and the step-by-step removal, overhaul and installation procedures, so you can chase a hydraulic, transmission or engine problem and put it right instead of guessing.
