Ford New Holland 1500 Combine Parts

1500 parts and accessories

The Ford New Holland 1500 combine, produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s, offered a reliable and straightforward harvesting solution for many farmers. Powered by a Ford diesel engine producing around 105 HP, it was designed for small to medium-sized farms. Available with header widths ranging from 13 to 15 feet and using a conventional separator, the 1500 was prized for its simplicity and ease of maintenance.

The Ford New Holland 1500 combine served as a dependable workhorse for farmers looking for a robust and manageable harvesting machine. Manufactured primarily in the late 1970s and early 1980s, it filled a crucial gap in the market. Under the hood, you'd typically find a Ford 256 CID (4.2L) diesel engine generating approximately 105 horsepower. This power drove a conventional threshing system featuring a 40-inch wide cylinder and a walker-style separator for efficient grain separation. The grain tank holds around 80 bushels, unloading at a rate of approximately 25 bushels per minute. Operators could choose from header widths that typically ranged from 13 to 15 feet, suiting various field sizes and crop conditions. Chopper and spreader options were available to manage residue. The cab, while not as feature-rich as modern combines, provided basic comfort and visibility for the operator. The 1500 excelled in harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn, thanks to its simple design and reliable performance.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to ensure proper threshing and minimize grain loss. Refer to the operator's manual for recommended settings based on the crop being harvested.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect and adjust belt and chain tension frequently, especially at the start of the season. Loose belts and chains can lead to slippage and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer regularly to prevent blockages that can reduce cleaning efficiency and increase grain loss. Pay particular attention when switching between different crops.
Bearing Greasing: Regularly grease all bearings according to the lubrication schedule in the operator's manual. Proper lubrication is crucial for preventing bearing failure and extending the life of your combine.
