Note! This Manual also includes tractors 600, 700, 800 and 900 as follows:
--- The build ---up of brakes, cab (not roof), front axles and hydraulic power lifts on 600---900 tractors is the
same as on 865---tractor. If no separate instructions are given, the instructions for 865 tractor are good for
600 ---900 tractors. Transmission on 600 ---900 tractors is the same as on 865, except that 600 ---900 tractors
have a modified low gear and also an alternative Overdrive is available. These new components require
some minor changes in the main gearbox and for these reasons 600 ---900 tractors have transmission 270
(865 has transmission 250).
--- Electric system on 600 ---900 has been shown in section 31.
--- Engine differences are described in sections 21, 22 and 23. 600 and 700 tractors have a Bosch in ---line
fuel injection pump and 800 ---900 a Stanadyne rotary distribution pump.

To t h e r e ad e r
The Service Manual for the Valtra---Valmet 205---900 tractors is intended to be a practical reference source to be used in workshop.
The repair instructions in the manual are based on methods which have been worked out in practice during normal workshop
conditions and which are based on the use of special tools from the manufacturer when stated in the instructions. The manual
also contains descriptions of the design and function of the components.
Detailed maintenance instructions can be found in Operator’s Manual.
The Service Manual will be continually updated with new revised pages which should be inserted in the manual. Alterations and
additions will first appear as service bulletins.
Only genuine Valmet spare parts should be used to ensure the best possible function of the machine. Certain operations should
be carried out with the aid of special tools designed by Valmet.

3. Tractor model
At the top of each page it is indicated for which tractor the page is valid.
4. Code designation
Three---digit code designations are used to separate the different document groups for the respective components. The same
code is also used in the Time list as a reference to the text in this manual. The code designation numbers appear in the box at
thetopofthepageandalsointheheadings.
Example: Code 410
--- Group: power transmission (4)
--- Component: clutch (41)
--- Document group: general (410)
5. Page numbers
The instructions for all components are numbered in consecutive order in the right---hand box at the top of the page. The page
numbers begin with page 1 for each component.

6. Date
At the top of each page there are two boxes for dates. In a case of revised issue, the date of the earlier issue is printed in the
crossed---over box and and the date of the current issue is printed in the proper date box.
7. Additions and amendments of the service manual
New and up---dated pages will be continuously added to the service manual. The new pages should be inserted as indicated by
the code: the first digit (also the first digit on the index leaf) indicates the group:
--- the two first digits indicate the component or sub---group.
--- the third digit indicates the document group for the respective components
--- the page number indicates the definite position of the page within the service manual.
If there are two pages with the same code and page number, it is the page with the later date in the date box and the old date
in the crossed---over box which is valid or which is the current page.
When an entirely new set of repair instructions is issued, it will be accompanied by instructions on where the pages should be
inserted in the file.

General instructions for repairs
Outer oil seals
The Service Manual contains instructions for changing all outer oil seals, (e.g. oil seals on the PTO shaft end, on the output shaft
to the front wheel drive and on the pinion shaft on the powered front axle, and so on).
Sealing compound and glue
If sealing compounds or glue are required for the repair work, the instructions will specify a sealing compound or glue which is
readily available through specialist dealers. Some seals should be greased before fitting and the space between the lips of the
seal should be filled with universal grease. If the seal is to be pushed over splines or sharp edges the seal should be protected
with for example a thin plastic foil.
Tightening torques and setting values
All necessary tightening torques and setting values for each repair operation are given at the beginning of each repair section
under the heading Technical Data. The most important values can also be found in the repair instructions.
Table 1 later gives the tightening torques in order of dimension, quality and surface treatment. The values given in the table should
be used if the tightening torque is not given in the repair instructions.
Safety
Always bear safety in mind when repairing or servicing the tractor. Use tools and lifting devices in the correct way . When you
are removing tractor components or splitting the tractor, every tractor part must be supported in such a way, that no risk of accident
exists. Avoid working under the supported tractor part if it is not absolutely necessary. When supporting the tractor the centre of
gravity of the frame part must always be checked. For instance the wedges must always be fitted between front axle and engine
to prevent axle oscillation when splitting the front frame of the tractor.
Trouble ---shooting
The following procedure, combined with the information contained in the workshop manual will be helpful in tracing faults accu-
rately. It consists of following a number of logical steps to locate and correct the problem:
a) Determine the problem
b) List possible causes
c) Differentiate the causes
d) Conduct checks in logical order to determine the exact cause
e) Consider approximate remaining service life against cost of parts and labour..
f) Make any necessary repairs.
g) Recheck the parts and functions for correct operation

Maintenance 205---900
Note! Detailed maintenance procedures are given in the
Operator”s Manual.
When servicing:
--- Always stop the engine before doing any servicing work.
--- Apply the parking brake to ensure the tractor cannot move.
If the ground is uneven the wheels should be scotched
--- Always observe the utmost cleanliness in all maintenance
work.
---Thoroughly wipe off filler caps and plugs as well as sur-
rounding parts of the tractor before filling up with fuel or oil.
--- Inspect the oil and filters when changing. Large amounts of
dirt (e.g. heavily clogged filters) can point to a fault which
could cause extensive and costly repairs if not corrected in
time.
--- When carrying out checks the tractor should stand on level
ground.
--- Levels should be checked in the morning when the oil is
cold and has had time to run down to the bottom of the unit
concerned.
--- When changing the oil, bear in mind that the oil can be very
hot when it drains from the tractor. Waste oil and oil filters
should be handled carefully and disposed of properly.
--- After completion of the service work always replace all
safety covers etc.
Lubrication of points provided with grease
nipples
--- Always clean the grease nipples before applying the
grease gun.
--- Pump in grease to the nipples until clean grease is
squeezed out (unless otherwise instructed).
--- Wipe off all surplus grease which has been squeezed out
at the lubricating points.
--- Preferably carry out lubrication with bearing points and
joints unloaded and with the bearings in different position (
e.g. lubricate the steering knuckle bearing onthe steering axle
with the wheels at both full left and right lock and with the front
axle lifted up).
Lubrication and maintenance schedule
All intervals are counted from zero on the hour recorder. For
example, 1000---hour service is carried out every 1000 and
2000 hours according to the hour recorder (yearly or every
other year) even if the operates have been carried out at the
guarantee service.
Example:
The 1000---hour service includes all operates listed under
daily/every 10 hours,weekly/every 50 hours,250, 500 and
1000 hours.
