The Ford 5000, 5500, 5550, and 7000 tractors were among Ford’s most successful medium-horsepower utility and industrial machines produced in the late 1960s and 1970s. The Ford 5000 was a versatile farm tractor rated at around 70 hp, while the 5500 and 5550 industrial models were adapted for loader and backhoe applications with reinforced frames, heavy-duty axles, and high-capacity hydraulics. The Ford 7000, introduced in 1971, expanded the series with a turbocharged diesel engine delivering up to 93 hp, designed for heavier row-crop and field operations.
This comprehensive repair manual provides complete factory service coverage for these models. Organized into detailed sections, it covers engine systems, fuel systems, electrical, multiple transmission types (4-speed, 6-speed, 7/8-speed, Select-O-Speed, and reversing transmissions), power take-off, rear axle and brakes, hydraulic systems, steering, and front axle. Specialized chapters also address loader-backhoe hydraulics, accessories, and scheduled maintenance procedures for industrial and farm variants.
With clear step-by-step procedures, wiring diagrams, torque specifications, and tractor separation instructions, this manual ensures that owners, operators, and service technicians can properly maintain, repair, and overhaul the Ford 5000, 5500, 5550, and 7000 series tractors to factory standards.
