The Ford Versatile 756, 836, 856, and 876 tractors were part of Versatile’s large-frame 4WD articulated lineup from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s. These tractors were built with robust Cummins 6-cylinder diesel engines, delivering horsepower from 190 hp in the 756 to 280 hp in the 876, making them ideal for heavy tillage, seeding, and large-scale farming operations. Equipped with high-capacity hydraulics, strong drivetrains, and durable frames, the 756–876 series earned a reputation for reliability and ease of service in demanding field conditions.
This official repair manual provides comprehensive factory-level service information for the 756, 836, 856, and 876 models. Organized into detailed sections, the manual covers specifications and data, engine systems, 12-speed and 15-speed mechanical transmissions, powershift transmissions, drive train, hydraulics, electrical systems, environmental systems, and structural components. It also includes chapters on the three-point hitch, braking systems, and complete servicing procedures.
With step-by-step disassembly and reassembly instructions, torque specifications, hydraulic schematics, and wiring diagrams, this manual ensures accurate diagnostics and effective repairs. Whether you are troubleshooting electrical faults, overhauling transmissions, or maintaining the high-capacity three-point hitch, this manual provides the guidance needed to keep your Versatile tractor operating to factory standards.
