The Ford 250C, 260C, 345D, 445D, and 545D tractors are durable industrial-grade machines designed for heavy-duty agricultural, municipal, and construction tasks. Built in the late 1980s and early 1990s, this series is powered by reliable Ford 3-cylinder diesel engines, ranging from 52 hp (250C/260C) to approximately 66 hp (545D). With robust drivetrains, open-center hydraulic systems, and strong rear lift capacities, these tractors deliver consistent performance across loader work, mowing, hauling, and implement operation. Their rugged frames, differential lock, wet-disc brakes, and optional 2WD/4WD configurations make them versatile workhorses in demanding environments.
The Ford 250C and 260C are utility tractors equipped with a 3.1L diesel engine producing around 52 hp net, with an independent PTO rated at 44 hp and a fuel capacity of 16 gallons. The 345D, 445D, and 545D step up with a 3.3L diesel engine delivering up to 66 hp, with PTO ratings between 50–54 hp. Hydraulic systems support pump flows of up to 26 gpm at pressures near 2,450 psi, while the rear three-point hitch can lift approximately 3,080 lbs at 24 inches. Wheelbases average 81 inches, with operating weights ranging from 5,000 lbs up to over 10,000 lbs depending on configuration and loader attachments.
The comprehensive repair manual provides complete coverage for all five models. Key sections include engine and fuel systems, electrical system, transmission, rear axle and brakes, power take-off, steering and front axle, hydraulic systems, cab servicing, tractor separation, and accessories. Each section contains detailed service procedures, troubleshooting guides, wiring diagrams, hydraulic schematics, torque specifications, and lubrication charts. Step-by-step disassembly and reassembly instructions with exploded component diagrams ensure precise repairs and long-term reliability. This manual is an essential resource for maintaining these tractors at peak performance.
