Deutz Fahr Raps Rvm Parts Catalog – Factory Specs for Cutting Table & Divider

You’ve got a Deutz Fahr Raps Rvm in the shop and you need a part number for that gear box knife drive. Or maybe the side cutter bar hydraulic pump is leaking and you don’t want to order the wrong reseal kit. Without factory documentation, you’re guessing – and guessing on agricultural equipment costs real money and downtime. This Parts Catalog gives you the exact OEM part numbers, exploded diagrams, and revision dates so you order what actually fits.

Let’s be clear: aftermarket parts catalogs are trash for these older machines. They mix up year cuts, miss hydraulic system variations, and often list superseded numbers without telling you. The factory Deutz Fahr Raps Rvm Parts Catalog runs 55 pages and covers only the cutting table and feeding elevator assemblies. That focus means no wasted flipping. Every diagram is keyed to a specific year range – you can see exactly which gear box matches a 1992 build versus a 1996 build.

Cutting Table and Feeding Elevator Breakdown

The manual opens with the cutting table section – gear box knife drives, cutter bars, and the divider. Each subassembly gets its own exploded view with callouts. For example, the gear box knife drive for year of construction 1992 is on pages labeled 4P.31.1. Need the hydraulic pump for a side cutter bar? That’s in the divider section starting at 4P.32.1. The depth is what you’d expect from a factory publication: every bolt, seal, and bearing has a part number linked to a specific revision.

One thing I appreciate is the attention to year splits. The catalog lists “GEAR BOX KNIFE DRIVE +A 1993 -A 1995 5,40 M – 7,20 M” as one entry, then a separate entry for +A 1996. If you’ve ever tried to cross-reference a 1994 Raps Rvm part with a generic aftermarket book, you know how quickly you can order the wrong shaft. This catalog eliminates that.

Gear Box Knife Drive: Year-by-Year Variations

Under the cutting table section you’ll find four distinct gear box knife drive entries. The first covers the 1992 build (4P.31.1), then a second for +A 1992 additional cutter bars, then separate entries for 1993–1995 and 1996 models. Each one includes the exact part numbers for the housing, gears, seals, and fasteners. If you’re rebuilding that drive, you can pull the catalog, find your machine’s build year, and order every seal without pulling the shaft.

And yes, the catalog uses metric part numbers – but everything is laid out in a logical flow. No guessing which revision matches your serial number. That’s the whole point of a factory parts catalog.

Divider Components: Side Cutter Bars and Hydraulics

The divider section is where this catalog really proves its worth. It covers right-hand side cutter bars, additional cutting table cutter bars, side knives, guards, and the entire hydraulic system – pump drives, oil reservoirs, and both left-hand and right-hand hydraulic systems. The catalog splits left-hand and right-hand systems by year, with separate entries for -A 1986, +A 1987, +A 1987–1991, and +A 1992. That’s six distinct hydraulic system variants. Aftermarket catalogs lump them together. This one separates them.

Page references like 4P.32.3 for the right-hand hydraulic system are consistent. Grab the manual, flip to the page, and the diagram matches the year stamps. No ambiguity.

Deutz Fahr Raps Rvm Parts Catalog – What’s Inside the 55 Pages

Here’s the full scope:
Cutting table: gear box knife drives (4 entries), cutter bars, additional cutting table components.
Divider: side cutter bars (right-hand, left-hand), guards, hydraulic pumps, oil reservoirs, pump drives, electrical equipment for side knives, and the additional cutting table bottom sheet.
Every subassembly is keyed to a year range (e.g., -A 1986, +A 1987, +A 1992, etc.).
55 pages total – compact enough to keep in the toolbox, detailed enough to cover the cutting table and divider completely.

Why Factory Parts Catalogs Beat Aftermarket Cross-References

Every time I see a tech rely on a third-party parts book for a Deutz Fahr machine, I cringe. Those books reprint numbers from 20-year-old databases without verifying supersessions. This catalog is original OEM material – scanned from the factory publication. The drawings are crisp, the part numbers are the ones Deutz Fahr stamped on the castings. If you’re serious about keeping that Raps Rvm in the field, you need the real thing. For a broader look at industry standards, check Automotive Industry Overview – but for this specific machine, trust the factory document.

One more thing: the catalog uses the original factory page numbering scheme (4P.31.x, 4P.32.x). That means when you call the dealer with a part number from this catalog, they’ll recognize the reference. No translation required.

Automotive Industry Overview extends to agricultural equipment as well – but again, for a specific parts lookup, this catalog is the only source you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cover the entire Raps Rvm machine, or just the cutting table?

Only the cutting table and feeding elevator – specifically the cutting table subassemblies (gear box drives, cutter bars) and the divider (side cutter bars, hydraulic systems). If you need the main chassis or engine parts, you’ll want a separate manual.

Which years are included?

The catalog covers builds from -A 1986 through +A 1996, with separate entries for different year ranges. Look for the +A or -A codes next to each section heading.

Are the part numbers still current?

These are the original factory part numbers as published by Deutz Fahr. Some may have been superseded. Always verify with your dealer before ordering, but the catalog gives you the correct starting point.

Can I use this to cross-reference parts for a different Deutz Fahr model?

No. This catalog is specific to the Raps Rvm. For other models like the FAHR HD 300 or M2680, check those separate manuals (see links above).

Bottom line: if you’re working on a Deutz Fahr Raps Rvm cutting table or divider, you need this parts catalog. No aftermarket substitute gets the year splits right. Access the Factory Manual and start ordering the correct parts today.
