Ford 5000-Series Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual for 1965-1974 4-Cyl Tractors

I’ve been wrenching on tractors since before some of you were born, and the single biggest waste of time I see is a guy pulling a front wheel off a 5000-Series Ford, then spending half a day figuring out which bearing cone or grease retainer he needs. You order a part from a parts store, it doesn’t fit, and you’re back to square one. That’s why this Ford 5000-Series Parts Catalog belongs on your bench. It’s not a service manual — it’s the factory-published parts breakdown that tells you exactly which wheel assembly, which bolt, which cup, and which nut goes where. 644 pages of OEM data, no aftermarket guesswork.

Front Wheel Assembly: 1A1B Section – What You Get

Open to page 1, and you’re looking at “WHEELS & WGT, 1A1B, FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY.” The illustration shows every piece: wheel assy, grease retainer, inner cone and roller, bolt and hub assy, cups, lube fittings, nuts. The parts list on page 2 gives ref numbers, part numbers, descriptions, and quantities. For example, ref 1 lists multiple wheel assemblies — 4.00×16 (E9NN1007SA), 5.50×16 (D2NN1007R29Z), 5.50×18 (D4NN1007N), and so on, each with production location and replacement info. If you’ve got a 1965-1974 4-cyl tractor, you can match your serial range and get the exact wheel. No more ordering the wrong offset.

Factory Part Numbers – No Aftermarket Confusion

Every part number in this catalog comes straight from Ford’s engineering database. Look at ref 2: “E0NN1190AA Retainer Assy., Grease” or “C0NN1190B Retainer Assy., Grease, Hi-Clearance, Dual, 5200, 7200.” The notes tell you which models and years use each retainer. When you’re rebuilding a front end, you need that specificity. A generic parts book won’t show the 1967-only Hi-Clearance variation. This one does. The catalog also includes superseded numbers — for instance, E9NN1007SA replaces C5NN-1N015-A. That kind of cross-reference saves you from ordering dead stock.

Interchange Details and Production Notes

Page 2 also includes production locations — Romeo, Michigan; Basildon, England; Queretaro, Mexico. If you’re restoring a tractor that came with original English-made wheels, you’ll see the corresponding part numbers. The Hi-Clearance dual wheel setups for 5200 and 7200 models get their own rows. This level of detail is why I tell guys to stop using third-party online lookup tools and buy the real catalog. You get the revision history, the “68/ uses regular 5000 parts” notes, and the exact bolt sizes (ref 6: C5NN1107E vs 72NY1107A).

Who Needs This 644-Page Catalog?

Home garage enthusiasts who own a Ford 5000, 5100, 5200, 7100, or 7200 tractor from 1965-1974. Also useful if you’re a small shop that does ag repairs. If you’ve ever ordered a front wheel bearing kit and got the wrong cup, you are the audience. The catalog doesn’t teach you to rebuild — it tells you what to order. Pair it with a factory service manual for torque specs and procedures. For example, the front wheel assembly section covers grease retainers and cone/roller assemblies — but you’ll need the separate service manual for bearing preload adjustment. This is a parts catalog, and it does that job better than anything else because it’s the original Ford document.

Source Validity: OEM Ford Documentation

This is not a reprint of a reprint. It’s a scan of the original Ford Parts Catalog, distributed by New Holland (Ford tractor division). The OCR excerpt shows official Ford part numbers and factory illustration numbers. Aftermarket parts catalogs often omit the interchange notes or mix up Hi-Clearance parts. I’ve seen aftermarket drawings that combine two different wheel designs into one illustration. That’s dangerous because you wind up ordering the wrong hub assembly. Stick with the OEM source. If you need related documentation, check the Ford Wheel Loader 1975 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual”> for wheel loader parts, the Ford PA-4020-F 1979 Parts Catalog – OEM Wheel & Weight Specs”> for PA series, or the Ford SUPER DEXTA & Fordson Dexta 1977 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual”> for older models.

Does this catalog include torque specifications for the front wheel bolts?

No. This is strictly a parts catalog—it lists part numbers, quantities, and interchange data. For torque values you want the matching Ford service manual (separate document).

Can I use this manual to identify parts for a 1968 Ford 5000 with Hi-Clearance option?

Yes. Page 2 shows that Hi-Clearance dual wheel setups for 5200 and 7200 existed, and notes “Hi-Clearance 1967 only. Hi-Clearance 68/ uses regular 5000 parts.” That means for your 1968, you’ll use standard 5000 front wheel parts unless you have a very early build. The catalog gives you the exact cutoff. Check the date codes in the upper right of each page (01/01/1965-12/31/1974) to verify your serial number range. If your tractor is a 1968, the parts listed under “65/” and “67/” apply — the “68/” notation appears for some hi-clearance bolts. It’s all there, but you have to read the footnotes.
