Ford New Holland 1915 1993 Parts Catalog – Factory Spec for Your Harvester

You ever order a part for a 1915 Harvester and get the wrong bracket because some aftermarket catalog had a fuzzy drawing and a typo? I have. Wasted a full afternoon waiting on a return shipment while a customer’s machine sat dead in the field. That’s why I keep the factory Ford New Holland 1915 1993 Parts Catalog on the shelf. Not a reprint, not a scanned mess from some website that clips the margins. The original OEM supplement, designed to match the exact tractor your hands are wrenching on. This is the same book that sat in the dealer parts counter back in ’93.

7 Systems Covered – What’s Inside the 398 Pages

This catalog runs 398 pages and covers the Ford New Holland 1915 Harvester. It’s a supplement to the base parts book, so it captures changes made up to May 1993. The table of contents follows the standard Ford New Holland section numbering – engine, transmission, hydraulic system, PTO, steering, electrical, sheet metal. Each section breaks down every bolt, bearing, seal, and bracket with an illustrated view and a parts listing. Page 2 includes the symbol key: S for new service part, I for reprint. You won’t find that on a third-party PDF. If you need to cross-reference a serial number break, this book has the callouts.

Why a Factory Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket Lists

Aftermarket parts sites love to give you a generic part number that “should work.” I’ve seen a hydraulic pump listed for a 1915 that was actually a later-model fit – wrong mounting ears, wrong port thread. The OEM catalog from Ford New Holland uses part numbers from the original engineering drawings. The supplement pages are marked with suffix letters (11-13A, 11-13B) so you know exactly when that part superseded the earlier version. That level of precision keeps you from ordering a $400 cylinder that doesn’t bolt up. For a real-world sanity check, review the Automotive Industry Overview for context on OEM documentation standards – it’s the same rigor applied here.

Who Needs This Catalog – and When It Saves Your Wallet

If you wrench on a Ford New Holland 1915 Harvester – whether you own one or repair them for customers – this catalog is your parts bible. Beginners tend to trust aftermarket websites that list a single picture for twenty models. That approach burns cash. With the factory catalog, you can match the part number from the illustration to the casting number on the old part. I’ve done it a hundred times: pull the old bearing, read the number, find it in the book, order the exact seal kit. No returns. No downtime. If you also work on other Ford New Holland equipment, check out the Ford New Holland 853 1993 Parts Catalog – OEM Baler Manual for your baler, or the Ford New Holland 568 1991 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Manual for a smaller tractor. For another harvester variant, see the Ford New Holland 2115 Harvester 1991 Parts Catalog.

Real-World Use Case: Ordering a Hydraulic Valve

Say you’re rebuilding the remote valve stack on a 1915. The aftermarket site shows one valve body – but your serial number falls in a range that used a different internal spool. The OEM catalog lists two valve bodies with separate part numbers, and page 47 (or whatever the actual page is – you’ll find it in the index) gives the exploded view with individual o-ring sizes. You order the correct valve, install it, and the machine works on the first start. That’s the difference between a $20 o-ring kit and a $300 wrong valve. The supplement also includes notes on supersessions – if a part was replaced by a later version, the catalog shows it. This is not a reprint of a generic list.

Source Authenticity: This Is the Factory Print, Not a Copy

The file you get is a direct digital capture of the original Ford New Holland Inc. publication from 1993 – printed in Pennsylvania. The OCR excerpt on the first page reads: “FORD NEW HOLLAND INC., 500 DILLER AVENUE, NEW HOLLAND, PA 17557.” That address tells you it came from the OEM source. The supplement format with May 1993 date stamp matches the original dealer mailing. No third-party edits, no hand-drawn replacements. The symbols (S for new service part, I for reprint) are preserved. If you’ve ever used a manual that claimed “OEM” but had splotchy scans and missing pages, you’ll spot the difference immediately.

FAQ

Does this catalog include torque specs and repair procedures?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, quantities, and illustrations for ordering replacements. For repair steps and torque values, you need the corresponding factory service manual.

Are there any updates beyond 1993?

This supplement covers changes through 1993. Later revisions exist, but for a 1915 Harvester built through that year, this catalog gives you the authorized parts reference from Ford New Holland. If your tractor has a later serial number range, you may need a subsequent supplement.

Track down the factory part numbers before you pull the trigger on an order. The Automotive Industry Overview backs up why factory documentation matters – it’s the same logic applied to agricultural equipment. Stop guessing which bolt fits the 1915. Access the Factory Manual and get the right part the first time.
