Deutz Fahr M2680 Parts Catalog – What You Get

You know the sinking feeling when a part you ordered doesn’t match the serial number break on your combine. That’s wasted time, wasted freight, and a machine sitting in the shed during harvest. The Deutz Fahr M2680 Parts Catalog kills that problem cold. 231 pages of factory exploded diagrams, part numbers, and index references – nothing from a third-party translator who never touched a wrench.

Engine Assembly Parts (H1.00.174 and H1.00.175)

Every bolt, gasket, and seal for the M2680’s engine is broken down in two consecutive sections. You get the part number, the quantity per assembly, and the exact diagram location. Need the oil pan gasket? Look up H1.00.174. That’s not a guess – it’s the factory’s own grid. I’ve seen aftermarket catalogs combine both sections into one sloppy drawing and miss half the fasteners. This one doesn’t.

V-Belts and Chains – Don’t Trust a Tape Measure

Section H1.00.160 lists every drive belt and chain for the combine harvester, with the OEM part number and the effective length in millimeters. You won’t find a “generic A-section belt will work” note in here. Deutz Fahr engineered these belts for a specific tension and load. Use the wrong one and you’ll be replacing pulleys next season. The chart on the index page (page 1) shows you exactly where each belt lives in the machine.

Steering Axle and Chassis Coverage

Two steering axle sections – one for machines built up to serial number 1811, another for 1812 onward. That matters. The adjustable steering axle (H1.00.173) uses different kingpins and bushings. Mix them up and your front-end geometry goes out of spec. The chassis sections (H1.00.190 through H1.00.192) cover the frame rails, crossmembers, and mounting brackets. If you’re repairing collision damage or swapping a cab, you need those part numbers from the factory diagram, not a parts counter guy’s best guess.

Control Unit Operation and Grain Tank Sections

Two control unit sections – one for general operation (H1.00.198), one dedicated to the grain tank (H1.00.199). The grain elevator, recovery elevator, and throwing elevator each have their own exploded view. I’ve watched guys tear down a grain tank to replace a bearing that turned out to be on the recovery elevator because they used a generic diagram. This catalog separates them clearly. Part numbers for the hydraulic clutch control assembly (H1.00.200) and the braking system (H1.00.201) mean you can order the exact seal kit or master cylinder rebuild.

Source Validity – OEM Factory Print, Not a Scan

This is a direct-from-Deutz Fahr parts catalog. Not a reprint, not a scan from a microfiche. The original file name is DeutzFahr_M2680_Parts_Catalog_de-24014010155.pdf. It comes with the factory index and all 231 pages in order. I’ve been burned by aftermarket catalogs that left out the “W” (heavy-duty) sections like SEITENGETRIEBE VERSTAEKT W (H1.00.168) and DRUCKLUFTANLAGE W (H1.00.182). This one includes every variant. For a broader look at how these manuals fit into the industry, check the Automotive Industry Overview. If you need companion catalogs for related models, see the FAHR HD 300 Parts List or the Deutz Fahr Raps Parts Catalog (Cutting Table). For the cutting table specific, there’s also the Deutz Fahr Raps Rvm Parts Manual Cutting Table.

Does this manual include part numbers for the hydraulic system?

Yes. Sections H1.00.200 (hydraulic clutch control) and H1.00.201 (hydraulic braking system) give you every valve, hose, and fitting.

Can I use this to cross-reference parts for earlier M-series combines?

No. This catalog is specific to the M2680. The part numbers changed between models. Using it for an M2580 will likely give you wrong numbers. Stick to the correct model.

What format is the manual in?

PDF, 231 pages, fully bookmarked with the same section numbers you see in the index. Works on tablets, phones, and desktops.

Is this a reprint or original OEM?

Original OEM digital file from Deutz Fahr. Not a scan. Not a reprint. Every page matches the factory’s own layout. The index on page 1 lists all 80-plus sections. If you’ve ever fought with a blurry third-party copy, you’ll appreciate the difference.

You can spend an afternoon digging through forums for a part number that may or may not be right, or you can pull the factory diagram in thirty seconds and order with certainty. Access the Factory Manual and keep your M2680 in the field where it belongs.
