Claas MARKANT 50 Parts Catalog – 67 Pages of OEM Part Numbers

You have a Claas MARKANT 50 baler sitting in the shed with a busted knotter assembly. The needle driver snapped. You grab an aftermarket parts list from some random site. The number doesn’t match. Now you’re on hold with a dealer who wants a serial number you don’t have in front of you. That wastes time – and time is bales you didn’t make. The Claas MARKANT 50 Parts Catalog stops that nonsense cold. It’s the same 67-page document Claas dealers use to order genuine parts. No generic reprint. No third-party guesswork. Every part number is direct from the factory.

Gelenkwelle (Universal Joint Shaft) and Doppelgelenkwelle Breakdown

Section I of the catalog starts with the driveline. You get exploded views for the standard single-joint shaft (Gelenkwelle) and the double-joint shaft (Doppelgelenkwelle) with all sub-variants – 1A, 2, 3, 3A through 3C. Each part is listed with its Claas number, description, and quantity. Need a new Kreuzgarnitur (center cross assembly)? The catalog shows part 977 213.0. You don’t have to decode some aftermarket cross-reference. It’s right there, on the page.

Podbieracz (Pickup) – Sections 6–9: What to Look For

The pickup system (Podbieracz) covers sections 6 through 9. Four separate entries because there are variations – likely different tine configurations or widths. If you’re replacing tines or the pickup reel, you need to match the exact section number. The catalog lists each variant separately under the German name “Aufsammler.” Missing that detail means ordering the wrong parts. That’s why you use the OEM catalog, not a one-size-fits-all list.

Tłok (Piston) and Podbijak (Feeder) – Key Wear Items

Sections 10 and 11 cover the feeder (Podbijak/Zubringer) and piston (Tłok/Kolben). Section 10 even has a continuation page (10. c.d.) because the feeder assembly is complex. These are high-wear parts in any baler. The catalog gives you the exact part numbers for the piston, seals, and feeder forks. You won’t find that level of detail in a general repair guide.

Check the Part Number Before You Order

Every assembly in this catalog includes a Bild (figure number) and Ersatzteilnummer (part number). Look at the excerpt for page 4 – the Gelenkwelle group lists parts like “812 317.1 Gelenkw.hälfte” with a note about serial number cutoffs. The catalog tells you exactly which part fits which serial range. If you skip that step, you’ll bolt on the wrong shaft. I’ve seen it happen.

What Makes This 67-Page Parts Catalog Different?

Size matters – 67 pages means every assembly is covered. The catalog is divided into seven main sections (Część I through VII). Section III covers the knotter system (Aparat wiążący) and needle drive – the most failure-prone area on a square baler. Section IV covers the axle, wheels, drawbar, and bale channel (Kanał balotów). Section V and VI cover the bale chute and ejector (Ballenschleuder) with multiple variations – 35 through 41B. Section VII adds the optional wire-tying system. Each section has its own figure numbers. There’s no confusion.

Source Validity: OEM Print vs Aftermarket Lists

This file is a direct scan of the original Claas spare parts list. The OCR shows the distributor stamp – Dom Handlowy Henryki i Pawła Korbanków in Poland – but the content is pure Claas. The part numbers start with 800-series, matching Claas numbering conventions. Aftermarket parts books often renumber parts to fit their inventory. That leads to wrong orders and returns. This catalog eliminates that risk because you’re reading the factory document.

You need the right number. Period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include exploded diagrams?

Yes. Each assembly has a figure (Bild) with numbered callouts matching the part list.

Can I use this to order parts for a MARKANT 50 with a specific serial number?

Yes, but you need to check the serial number notes. For example, the Gelenkwelle section lists parts for “BIS NR. 24056239” (up to that number) and “AB NR. 24041304” (from that number). The catalog includes those cutoffs. If your baler falls between ranges, you might need to reference the Doppelgelenkwelle variant. The catalog gives you both. Cross-reference your machine’s serial plate with the notes in each section. That is the only way to guarantee correct fitment. I’ve seen guys order the wrong universal joint because they ignored the “ab Nr.” line. Don’t be that guy.

Are the part numbers still current?

Claas supersedes part numbers over time. This catalog represents the original numbering from the production era. Always verify with a Claas dealer if you suspect a supersession. But for most common wear items like tines, needles, and bearings, these numbers are still valid.

What if I need the owner’s manual instead?

This is a parts catalog – not an operator’s manual. It does not contain service procedures, torque specs, or maintenance schedules. If you need those, look for the official Claas MARKANT 50 operator’s handbook. But for parts identification, this is the only document you need.

Don’t waste another day chasing wrong part numbers. Access the Factory Manual now and get your MARKANT 50 back to work with genuine Claas parts.
