The Ford Versatile 936, 956, and 976 tractors were built during the mid to late 1980s and early 1990s as part of Versatile’s heavy-duty articulated 4WD lineup. Powered by Cummins 14.0L six-cylinder diesel engines, these tractors delivered between 310 hp in the 936 up to 360 hp in the 976, providing exceptional pulling power and reliability for large-scale farming. With robust drivetrains, high-capacity hydraulics, and rugged frame design, the 936–976 series was engineered for maximum productivity in demanding conditions.
This official repair manual provides complete factory service information for the 936, 956, and 976 tractors. Organized into detailed sections, it covers specifications and data, engine systems, 12-speed and 15-speed mechanical transmissions, powershift transmissions, drive train, hydraulics, electrical systems, environmental systems, structures, three-point hitch, and brake systems. Step-by-step service procedures, torque specifications, and troubleshooting guides are included to ensure accurate diagnostics and repairs.
With wiring diagrams, hydraulic schematics, and complete separating/reassembly instructions, this manual is an essential resource for technicians, owners, and operators. Whether maintaining hydraulic flow at 24.5 gpm, servicing a 12-speed powershift transmission, or troubleshooting electrical components, this manual provides the comprehensive information needed to keep these tractors performing at factory standards.
