Deutz Fahr Raps Parts Catalog – Factory Exploded Views and Part Numbers

You’re holding a worn-out knife drive gear that came off a Raps combine header, and the old part number is half-rubbed off. Your aftermarket parts book gives you three different numbers and no way to tell which one fits your year of construction. That’s exactly why this Deutz Fahr Raps Parts Catalog exists. It’s the original factory document that Deutz Fahr assembly floor used when building the Raps RSM. 53 pages of exploded diagrams, exact part callouts, and year-specific break lines. No guessing – you match the hydraulic pump or oil reservoir to the correct production period and you get the right part the first time.

I’ve seen too many shop orders come back wrong because a tech picked a part from a generic cross-reference. With a factory parts catalog, you don’t cross-reference. You look up the section, find the diagram for your year and width, and read the part number directly. That’s it. This catalog covers the cutting table and divider assembly – the two areas where most part mistakes happen. Automotive Industry Overview might give you background on combine design trends, but it won’t tell you which hydraulic pump seal fits a 1992 Raps RSM. This catalog will.

Cutting Table and Feeding Elevator: Year-by-Year Gearbox Knife Drive

The catalog splits the cutting table into the knife drive gearbox sections by year of construction and header width. You get separate diagrams for the 1992 gearbox (section 4P.31.1), then a different gearbox for 1993 to 1995 on 5.40 m to 7.20 m headers (4P.31.2), and a third variant starting 1996 (4P.31.3). If you try to use a 1993 gearbox part on a 1996 machine, the drive shaft won’t mate. The catalog shows each one with its own callouts – note that the bearing and seal part numbers change between those production runs. Also included is the additional cutting table and cutter bar for +A 1992 (4P.31.1). Always check the year code stamped on your machine’s serial plate before you order.

7 Sections of the Divider Assembly – Hydraulics, Guards, Oil Reservoirs

The divider section (4P.32.x) runs over ten pages. It covers the entire right-hand side cutter bar assembly: accessories, guards for -A 1986 and +A 1987, the hydraulik system (yes, that’s how Deutz Fahr spelled it in the original), oil reservoir, and hydraulic pump drive. Each sub-assembly has its own table. For example, the side cutter bar right-hand hydraulic pump is on page 4P.32.6, but there’s a separate page for the additional cutting table hydraulic system right-hand (-A 1986) on 4P.32.5 and a different one for +A 1987 on 4P.32.6. If your machine has a left-hand hydraulic system (often specified as W for Wendelsystem?), the catalog covers that too: -A 1986 on 4P.32.7, +A 1987 to 1991 on 4P.32.8, and +A 1992 on 4P.32.9. Don’t mix them – the hose routing and pump displacement are different.

Use the Right Hydraulic Pump – Check the Year Code

The hydraulic pump is one of the most frequently mis-ordered parts on the Raps RSM. The catalog clearly separates the pump designs by production year. Under the divider section, you’ll find: ADDIT.CUTTING TABLE HYDRAULIC PUMP -A 1986 on page 4P.32.15, and ADDIT.CUTTING TABLE HYDRAULIC PUMP +A 1987 on page 4P.32.16. The earlier pump used a different mounting flange and a shorter shaft, and its drive pulley was specific to the pre-87 model. After 1987, the pump body grew and the oil reservoir moved to the opposite side. If you’re rebuilding a machine that’s a hybrid of years, you need to identify which pump drive your machine has. The catalog also includes the hydraulic pump drive assembly pages (-A 1986 on 4P.32.13, +A 1987 on 4P.32.14) so you can see the bracket and pulley differences.

Factory Documentation vs. Aftermarket Reprints – Why It Matters

This is a genuine scan of the original Deutz Fahr parts catalog, not a repackaged compilation from a third-party data house. Aftermarket catalogs often re-number diagrams to fit their own system, or they leave out the year splits because it’s cheaper to print one generic page. With this OEM catalog, you get the exact numbering that Deutz Fahr stamped on the parts. The index at the front lists every section with its page code (e.g., 4P.31.1, 4P.32.10). No guessing which diagram applies to your build date. For related equipment, see the FAHR HD 300 Parts List and Deutz Fahr M2680 Parts Catalog Index – both follow the same year-break logic. If you need the cutting table section specifically for the Raps Rvm model, check Deutz Fahr Raps Rvm Parts Manual Cutting Table (note: different header width range).

Does this catalog cover the Raps RSM model?

Yes. It is titled “RAPS RSM” and covers the cutting table and feeding elevator, plus the full divider assembly with side cutter bars, hydraulic systems, and electrical equipment for the side knife.

Why are there different part numbers for the hydraulic pump depending on year?

Deutz Fahr revised the hydraulic system several times. The catalog separates -A 1986 and +A 1987 variants. The earlier pump had a different mounting flange, shaft length, and drive pulley. After 1987, the pump body grew, the oil reservoir moved, and the guard design changed. If you order the later pump for a 1985 machine, the mounting holes won’t align and the pulley belt will be off by 5 mm. The catalog lists each variant on separate pages: ADDIT.CUTTING TABLE HYDRAULIC PUMP -A 1986 on page 4P.32.15 and +A 1987 on 4P.32.16. Always verify the year code on your header’s serial plate before ordering. The same caution applies to the hydraulic pump drive assembly (pages 4P.32.13 and 4P.32.14) and the oil reservoir (pages 4P.32.11 and 4P.32.12). Using the correct year-specific diagram saves you a return shipping fee and a week of downtime.

If you are working on a Raps RSM and don’t want to gamble on part numbers, this factory catalog is the only reference you need. Automotive Industry Overview covers general combine history, but for actual part identification, stick with the OEM source.
