Description
SAME Argon 50 55 F 60 65 F 70 75 F Workshop Manual is the factory technical publication for repair and overhaul work on the standard SAME Argon 50, Argon 60 and Argon 70 agricultural tractors and the specialised Argon 55 F, Argon 65 F and Argon 75 F tractors. Issued for authorised dealer and service-centre technicians, it provides the procedures, specifications, diagrams and adjustment information required to investigate faults and carry out accurate repairs to the tractor chassis, transmission, axles, hydraulic equipment, linkage, power take-off and electrical systems.
This is a substantial 387-page English-language workshop manual. It explains the mechanical and hydraulic operation of the tractor assemblies before covering removal, refitting, inspection and adjustment work. Repair information is supported by component illustrations, hydraulic circuit diagrams, electrical information, special-tool references, tightening torques, dimensional checks and specified adjustment data.
The publication is intended for experienced agricultural machinery technicians, independent tractor repairers, SAME specialists and fleet workshops. Its organised factory format is particularly useful when separating major units, dismantling mechanical assemblies, checking components for wear, restoring correct settings and completing repairs in accordance with the manufacturer’s methods.
IMPORTANT ENGINE MANUAL INFORMATION
This publication covers the tractor and its associated mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems, but it does not contain the internal engine overhaul chapters. The manual specifically directs technicians to the separate SAME 1000-series engine workshop manual for detailed engine repair information.
