INTRODUCTION
This service manual provides the technical
information needed to properly service and
maintain the Models L865, Lx865, Lx885, and
Lx985 skid-steer loaders. Use it
in conjunction
with theoperator's manual which is supplied with
the loader. Keep both manuals available for
ready reference.
The L
___ designates a factory standard built
unit.
The Lx
___ designates a factory Deluxe built
unit. Factoryoptions installed includeworklights,
taillights, and auxiliary boom hydraulics.
The L865, Lx865, Lx885, and Lx985 have many
similaritieswith the major difference being atwo-
speed hydrostatic motor used
on the Lx885 and
Lx985.
The L865, Lx865, Lx885 loaders are equipped
with the 332T non-emissionized or the 332T/JF
emissionized three-cylinder 60 net horsepower
turbocharged engine.
The Lx985 is equipped with the 450/NC
emissionized four cylinder 75 net horsepower
naturally aspirated engine.
Whenever working on New Holland equipment,

SECTION 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
HANDLE FLUIDS SAFELY
When you work around fuel or other flammable
material, do not smoke, work near heaters or
other fire hazards.
Do not store flammable material in open
containers.
Store flammable fluids away from fire hazards.
Do not incinerate or puncture pressurized
containers.
Make sure machine is clean oftrash, grease, oil,
and debris.
Do not store oily rags; they can ignite and burn
spontaneously.
Keep a first
aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
Keep emergency numbers for doctors,
ambulanceservice, hospital,
and fire department
near your telephone.
AVOID HEATING NEAR PRESSURIZED
FLUID LINES
Flammable spray can be generated by heating
near pressurized fluid lines, resulting
in severe
burns to yourself and bystanders.
Do not heat by welding, soldering, or using a
torch near pressurized fluid lines.
Pressurized lines can
be accidentally cut or
damaged when heatgoes beyond the immediate
flame area.
1-11
USE CARE AROUND HIGH-PRESSURE
FLUID LINES
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury.
Avoid the hazard
by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.
Tighten all line connections before applying
pressure.
Check for leaks with a piece of cardboard.
Protect hands
and body from high-pressure
fluids.
If
an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may
result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury
should reference a knowledgeable medical
source.

SECTION 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
USE CARE IN HANDLING AND
SERVICING BATTERIES
Prevent Battery Explosions
Keep sparks, lighted matches, and open flame
awayfrom the top ofthe battery. Battery gas can
explode.
Never check battery charge by placing a metal
object across the posts. Use a voltmeter or
hydrometer.
Do not charge a frozen battery; it may explode.
Warm the battery to 60° F (16° C).
A
WARNING: IF ANY SERVICING OR
ADJUSTMENTS REQUIRE THE BATTERY TO
BE DISCONNECTED, OR WELDING IS
REQUIRED ON THE SKID-STEER LOADER,
DISCONNECT THE
(-) NEGATIVE GROUND
CABLE. FAILURE TO DISCONNECT THE
BATTERY MAY RESULT
IN DAMAGE TO THE
EiC (ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT CLUSTER)
MONITORING SYSTEM AND OTHER
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
WARNING: IF WELDING
ON AN
ATTACHMENT
IS REQUIRED, FIRST
REMOVE THE ATTACHMENT
FROM THE
LOADER BOOM ATTACHING PLATE.
1-12
A
WARNING: ENGINE STARTING WITH A
BOOSTER BATTERY REQUIRES EXTREME
CARE AS BATTERIES PRODUCE
EXPLOSIVE GASES. THE SLIGHTEST
SPARK CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
FOLLOW THESE SAFETY TIPS:
1. ALWAYS SHIELD YOUR EYES WHEN
CHARGING
OR WORKING NEAR A
BATTERY. ALWAYS PROVIDE GOOD
VENTILATION.
2. COVER THE BATTERY WITH A PIECE OF
CARPET
OR OTHER HEAVY MATERIAL.
DO NOT REMOVE THE BATTERY VENT
CAPS.
3. CONNECT ONE CABLE TO THE (+)
POSITIVE TERMINAL OF THE WEAK
BATTERY. CONNECT THE OTHER END
OF THE CABLE
TO THE (+) POSITIVE
TERMINAL
OF THE STRONGER
BATTERY.
4. CONNECT THE SECOND CABLE TO THE
(-) NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF THE
STRONGER BATTERY.
5. CONNECT THE REMAINING (-)
NEGATIVE CABLE END TO THE ENGINE
BLOCK ·
OR STARTER GROUND
TERMINAL.
6. REVERSE THIS PROCEDURE WHEN
DISCONNECTING THE BOOSTER.

INSTALLATION OF ADJUSTABLE
FITTINGS IN STRAIGHT THREAD
0 RING BOSSES
1. Lubricate the O ring by coating it with a light
oil or petroleum. Install the O ring
in the
groove adjacentto the metal backupwasher
which isassembled atthe extremeend ofthe
groove,
1.
2. Install the fitting into the SAE straight thread
boss until the metal backup washer contacts
the face of the boss, 2.
NOTE: Do not over tighten and distortthe
metal backup washer.
3. Position the fitting by turning out
(counterclockwise) up to a maximum of one
turn. Holding the pad of the fitting with a
wrench, tighten the locknut and washer
against the face of the boss,
