FOREWORD

This repair manual provides information for the proper servicing and overhaul of Ford Industrial Tractor Models and is an essential publication for all service personnel carrying out repairs and maintenance procedures.
The Industrial Tractor Models covered were produced in 1975 through 6/83. Special service instructions are identified by tractor model number or applicable production dates throughout the text.

The Manual is divided into twelve PARTS each sub-divided into Chapters. Each Chapter contains information on general operating principles, detailed inspection and overhaul and, where applicable, trouble shooting, special tools and specifications.

The material contained in this Ford 230A, 340A, 445, 530A, 540A, 545 Tractor Manual was correct at the time of going to print but Ford policy is one of continuous improvement and the right to change prices, specifications, equipment or design at anytime without notice is reserved. All data in this Manual is subject to production variations, so overall dimensions and weights should be considered as approximately only and the illustrations do not necessarily depict the unit to standard build specification.

The engines feature cross-flow cylinder heads with the inlet and exhaust manifolds on opposite sides of the head. Combustion chambers are formed in the piston crowns.

Diesel engine pistons have three compression and one oil control ring all located above the piston pin.
Gasoline engine pistons have two compression and one oil control ring all located above the piston pin.

The cylinder head assembly incorporates the valves, valve springs and spring retainers. Valve guides are an integral part of the cylinder head, with replaceable valve seat inserts pressed into the valve ports.
The engine front cover attached to the engine front adapter plate, houses the timing gears. On gasoline engines, the fuel pump and the governor are mounted on the front cover, and the fuel pump is driven by an eccentric on the front end of the camshaft.

The gasoline engine intake manifold is designed with a water jacket around the main runner to provide a constant circulation of coolant to control air intake temperature.
