Part of the New Holland Operator Manuals.
The maintenance chart says the engine oil is due at 600 hours, and the forecast says you have one dry day to do it. This 280 page operator manual for the New Holland PowerStar 65 and PowerStar 75 tractors (serial number ELRT40***HAN00001 and above, publication 51519280) puts the interval, the 9.50 L fill with filter, and the drain procedure in front of you before you crack the plug.
Inside are the factory instructions for daily operation and service: controls and instruments, starting and stopping, transmission and shuttle operation, four wheel drive and differential lock engagement, the full maintenance chart, and troubleshooting tables for the engine, electrical system, hydraulics, and rear three-point hitch, plus specifications with speed tables for the 8 x 8 gearbox and ballast weights.
It is a searchable PDF you can print by the section, so the greasy pages live on the bench and the clean file stays on your computer for the next job.

New Holland PowerStar 65, PowerStar 75 Common Problems This Manual Covers
PTO will not disengage
The baler keeps turning after you flip the switch, which is a known complaint on these tractors. The Working Operations section explains correct PTO engagement and the engine speeds for each PTO range so you can rule out operator-side causes before pulling anything apart.
Manual Section: Working Operations p. 117Rear three-point hitch will not lift
A loaded implement that stays on the ground with the engine running usually traces back to the hydraulic circuit or the hitch controls. The Troubleshooting section has dedicated tables for the hydraulic system and the rear three-point hitch to walk you from symptom to cause.
Manual Section: Troubleshooting p. 233Warning lights and fault codes
PowerStar owners regularly report unexplained warning symbols on the instrument panel mid-job. The Troubleshooting section covers fault code resolution for the engine, electrical system, couplers, service brakes, cab climate control, and the front loader.
Manual Section: Troubleshooting p. 233Engine runs hot under load
Heavy tillage on a warm day will find any weakness in the cooling system. The Maintenance section covers coolant service, capacities for cab and non-cab models, and how the thermostat controls circulation, so you can check the basics before blaming the radiator.
Manual Section: Maintenance p. 171Four wheel drive not engaging
When the front axle will not pull on a wet headland, the fix depends on whether your tractor has mechanical or electro-hydraulic engagement. The Working Operations section documents both systems along with the differential lock.
Manual Section: Working Operations p. 117Front end loader wear and slop
A loader that clunks at the pins is a loader that was greased on the dealer's schedule instead of the manual's. The General Information section includes front end loader maintenance so daily bucket work does not eat the pivots.
Manual Section: General Information p. 9Hard starting on cold mornings
Feeding cattle does not wait for the block to warm up. The Operating Instructions section covers the correct starting procedure and refueling practice, and the Accessories section describes the coolant immersion heater option for genuinely cold weather.
