Part of the New Holland Operator Manuals.
One book fits four machines: the New Holland 555E operator manual PDF covers the complete E-series backhoe loader line, four models documented across 227 factory pages under OEM ID 42055541. The lubrication and maintenance chapter carries you from daily service through the 50, 300, 600, and 1200-hour intervals, air cleaner work and fuse changes included. Troubleshooting tables trace engine, transmission, and electrical faults back to their causes, while the specifications chapter lays out dimensions for center pivot loaders and sideshift backhoes alike. Fill the 106-liter fuel tank, then pull the rear wheel nuts to 542 Nm (400 ft. lbs.) before the machine leaves the yard, and check the cab and ROPS mounting bolts to 380 Nm every 300 hours. Buy this bookmarked, text-searchable PDF once and it stays yours for as long as the machine does.

New Holland 555E, 575E, 655E, 675E Common Problems This Manual Covers
New Holland 555E boom and outrigger cylinders drift down overnight, hydraulic oil film on cylinder rods
Check the hydraulic oil level first; the reservoir holds 106 liters when full. Top off with clean oil, then cycle every cylinder to full stroke and run the full 15 minute bleeding procedure on page 182 to purge trapped air. If a rod shows wet oil past a light film, have the seals serviced before drift worsens.
Manual Section: Lubrication and Maintenance p. 182Engine won't start or cranks slowly in cold weather, starter clicks with key fully turned
Verify battery terminals are clean and tight before anything else; a slow crank is usually a connection, not a starter. Work through the engine no-start steps beginning on page 192 and confirm fuel supply; the tank holds 106 liters, and running it dry pulls air into the lines. Confirm the shuttle lever sits in neutral so the safety start switch closes.
Manual Section: Trouble-Shooting p. 192All hydraulic functions slow and weak under load, loader and backhoe both losing power
Inspect the hydraulic oil level and condition before blaming the pump; a low level in the 106 liter reservoir lets the pump pull air and every circuit slows down together. Follow the whole-unit troubleshooting steps beginning on page 192. Milky or foaming oil means aeration; park the machine, let the oil settle, recheck the level, and cycle each function slowly.
Manual Section: Trouble-Shooting p. 192Wheel wobble or clicking noise from front or rear wheels after tire service
Torque rear wheel nuts to 542 Nm (400 ft. lbs.) and front wheel nuts to 176 Nm on 2WD machines or 270 Nm on 4WD, working in a star pattern with the values listed on page 158. Recheck torque after the first few hours of operation any time a wheel has been off; nuts seat and loosen on fresh mounts.
Manual Section: Lubrication and Maintenance p. 158Engine temperature gauge climbing into the red during heavy loader work in hot weather
Check the coolant level with the engine cold; the system holds 24 liters when full. Clean chaff and mud from the radiator fins with compressed air, blowing from the fan side outward. Inspect the fan belt for glazing and correct tension. If the gauge still climbs, follow the engine overheating chart starting on page 192.
