New Holland MHCity, MHPlus, MH5.6 Repair Manual – OEM Factory Specs

You’ve got a MHCity on the lift with a hydraulic leak. Or maybe a MHPlus that won’t start. The aftermarket CD you bought says ‘refer to dealer’ for the pressure specs. That’s not a manual – that’s a paperweight. New Holland MHCity, MHPlus, MH5.6 Repair Manual is the real thing – 761 pages, OEM factory print, no aftermarket cut corners. Every torque value, every wire color, every diagnostic step comes straight from the engineers who built the machine. I’ve been turning wrenches since before most of you were born, and I’ll tell you: if you don’t have the factory manual, you’re guessing. And guessing on a $200,000 excavator gets expensive fast.

761 Pages: What You Actually Get

Two volumes bound in one PDF. The Wheel Excavator section covers the chassis, hydraulics, axles, brakes, and cab. The Engine volume – separate print numbers but included here – covers the Tier III diesel. Page 2 of the manual lists the references: you need the operator’s manual and parts catalogue too. But for repair work, this is the core. Each section starts with a tool list. Don’t own a New Holland specific puller? They give you the part number so you can order it or cross it to a generic. That kind of detail pays off when you’re halfway through a swing motor rebuild.

Torque Specs and Hydraulic Pressures

Every bolt on this machine has a factory torque. The manual gives them in ft-lb. No generic ‘tighten securely.’ You get the exact value for the wheel hub bolts, the boom pivot pins, the engine head bolts. Need the charge pressure for the hydraulic pump? It’s in the spec table. I’ve seen guys snap bolts using aftermarket numbers – this manual stops that. The torque sequence for the cylinder head is step-by-step with angles. If you miss a step, you’re pulling the head again. That’s wasted time you don’t get back.

Does the Manual Cover the Full Hydraulic System?

Yes. The MHCity uses a load-sensing system. The manual walks you through the pump, the control valves, the swing motor. Page 3 has a safety warning that I want every tech to read before they crack a line under pressure. That page alone has saved fingers. The procedure for bleeding the system is step-by-step with tool lists – you need a flow meter and pressure gauge, both with specific part numbers. The troubleshooting table lists symptoms like ‘slow boom raise’ and gives the likely cause – a stuck spool, a worn seal, a bad pump compensator. No guesswork.

Two Volumes, One Manual: Wheel Excavator and Engine

The repair manual is split into two logical parts. The Wheel Excavator volume (print 87677413A) covers the machine – the frame, the cab, the steering, the hydraulics. The Engine volume (prints 87659057A for MHCity, 87704086A for MHPlus/MH5.6) covers the Tier III diesel. You get both in this 761-page file. That means you can go from diagnosing a transmission issue to pulling the cylinder head without switching documents. The manual includes the wiring schematics for both volumes – color-coded, pin numbers, connector locations. I’ve fixed electrical gremlins in under an hour using those diagrams.

Why OEM Documentation Beats Third-Party

I’ve used the aftermarket stuff. They copy a diagram, miss a wire color, and you fry an ECU. New Holland prints this manual for their own service network. The wiring schematics are color-coded, the connector pinouts are listed, the diagnostic flowcharts are written by the engineers who designed the machine. You follow this, you fix it right the first time. No wasted hours second-guessing. The manual also includes factory bulletins – updates to torque specs, service intervals, known issues. Aftermarket reprints don’t have that.

Yes, as long as it’s a Tier III model.

I have an MHPlus with a hydraulic issue – will the troubleshooting section help?

Absolutely. The manual dedicates over 100 pages to the hydraulic system, including pressure tests, valve adjustments, and flow diagrams. On page 45 you’ll find the procedure for checking the main relief valve setting. The troubleshooting table lists symptoms like ‘slow boom raise’ and gives the specific component to check, the likely cause, and the fix. I’ve used it to diagnose a sticking spool in under an hour. If you follow the flow chart, you won’t be swapping parts blindly.
