Ford 1110 Tractor Operator's Manual
This Ford 1110 operators manual is the factory operation and maintenance reference for the Ford 1110 compact diesel tractor, 64 pages of controls, operating procedure, lubrication and scheduled maintenance. It's the book that came with the machine: the instrument panel and Proof-Meter, starting and break-in procedure, both the 10-speed gear transmission and the optional two-range hydrostatic drive, the creeper range accessory, the PTO, the hydraulic lift with its flow control valve, remote valves and manifold block, separate lubrication and maintenance charts for two-wheel and four-wheel drive, and the complete specification tables. Originally published by Ford Tractor Operations and delivered here as an instant PDF download you can read on any device or print for the shop.
Models covered: Ford 1110 with the 10-speed gear transmission or the hydrostatic (H.S.T.) transmission, in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.
About the Ford 1110
The 1110 is the smallest of Ford's Ten Compact Series, built in Japan by Shibaura from 1983 to 1986. It runs a two-cylinder Shibaura diesel (the ID plate in the manual shows the LEK752C engine) of 43.1 cu. in. (706 cc) on a 2.95 × 3.15 in. bore and stroke, with a 23:1 compression ratio and a rated speed of 2600 rpm. The manual prints 11.5 observed PTO horsepower.
The standard gearbox gives five gears in each of two ranges, for 10 forward and 2 reverse speeds and a top speed of 9.5 mph, and a 5.5:1 creeper range accessory takes it to 15 forward and 3 reverse. The optional hydrostatic drive uses a rocker pedal with High and Low ranges, up to 9.3 mph forward and 6.0 mph in reverse, plus a speed control lever that holds a set forward speed. The PTO turns 540 rpm at 2568 engine rpm (2575 rpm with H.S.T.). Brakes are drum, steering is manual, and the live Category 1 three-point linkage is fed by a gear pump rated 4.1 gpm at 1849 psi. Less options, the two-wheel drive gear tractor weighs 1235 lbs.
Full engine, capacity, hydraulic, tire, torque, dimension and ground speed figures are listed on the Ford 1110 specifications page.
What This Ford 1110 Operators Manual Covers
- International symbols and safety precautions: The symbol key used on the tractor's controls, followed by the full safety section covering the tractor, servicing, operating, PTO work and driving.
- Controls and instruments: Seat, seat belt and ROPS, lighting, the instrument panel (starter switch, warning lights and Proof-Meter), hand and foot throttle, brake controls and the differential lock, the mechanical transmission and PTO levers, the creeper range, four-wheel drive, the H.S.T. pedal, speed control, speed indicator and range selector, and the hydraulic lift controls including the flow control valve, auxiliary service port and remote valves.
- Operation: Break-in procedure, warm and cold weather starting, jumper cable starts, stopping the engine, operating both transmissions, four-wheel drive and the PTO, towing the tractor, the differential lock, the hydraulic lift, remote valves and manifold block, and driving the tractor.
- Tread settings, weighting and tires: Front and rear wheel tread settings for standard, adjustable and turf wheels, weighting limitations, cast-iron weights, and the tire pressure chart.
- Lubrication and maintenance charts: One chart for the two-wheel drive tractor and one for the four-wheel drive, with every service point against its interval.
- Fuel and lubricants: Diesel fuel, storage and refueling, lubricants and lubricant storage, then service procedures for engine oil, the fuel filters, bleeding the fuel system, the air cleaner, transmission and hydraulic oil and filters, the H.S.T. oil filters and lubrication fittings.
- General maintenance: Cooling system, fuel injectors, engine speed adjustment, valve clearance, ROPS inspection, battery, alternator and voltage regulator, lamps, front wheel bearings, steering wheel free play and toe-in, brake and clutch pedal adjustment, the four-wheel drive front axle cases, and tractor storage.
- General torque specification table: Inch and metric fastener torques by grade.
- Specifications: Engine, capacities, cooling, electrical, fuel, clutch, brakes, steering, PTO, hydraulics, cast-iron weights, draw bar, tires, wheel bolt torques, lubricants with Ford specification and part numbers, the commercial oil chart, dimensions and the ground speed chart for both transmissions.
- Safety and instruction decals: Decal locations, what each one says, and their part numbers for replacement.
- Pre-delivery and 50-hour service: The dealer check sheets and both record copies.
Why This Manual Matters
- Both transmissions in one book. The 10-speed gearbox and the hydrostatic drive each get their own controls and operating instructions, and the ground speed chart shows both, so it fits whichever 1110 you have.
- The right oil for the hydrostatic. The manual lists a separate Ford specification (M2C-41-A) for the hydrostatic transmission, rear axle and hydraulic oil, where the gear tractor takes M2C-134-B. That difference is easy to miss without the book.
- Two drivelines, two service charts. The two-wheel and four-wheel drive tractors each get a lubrication and maintenance chart, and the four-wheel drive front axle gets its own fill and capacity.
- Reference data you can set to. Valve clearances, belt deflection, clutch pedal free-travel, steering free play, toe-in, wheel bolt torques, the general torque table and full system capacities are all printed here.
- Clean, restored scan. Scanned from an original manual, with punch holes, stains and a previous owner's handwriting cleaned up, the red safety printing kept in colour and the photos kept readable.
