New Holland 1895A, 1895N4, 1895R4, 1895W 1979 Parts Catalog

You’ve got a New Holland combine in the shop with a busted auger drive chain, and the owner wants it running before the rain hits. You pull up a third-party parts list and the drawing looks like it was traced from a photocopy of a fax. The part numbers don’t match anything on the shelf. That’s the moment you wish you’d spent the twenty bucks on a factory New Holland 1895A, 1895N4, 1895R4, 1895W 1979 Parts Catalog instead of trusting some reprint. I’ve been there. It’s a waste of billable hours.

This 52-page OEM catalog from Sperry New Holland – Issue 11-79 – replaces all previous issues. That means the drawings, part numbers, and stock recommendations are the latest factory release for the 1979 model year. You get the same diagrams the dealer used. Not generic outlines with wrong callouts.

1895A Auger Base: Auger Group and Drive Group Coverage

Pages 12 through 14 cover the Auger Group, Change Sprockets, and Auger Drive Group for the 1895A model. If you’re swapping out a sprocket or rebuilding the auger drive, you need the exact part numbers from those pages. Main Drive Group runs from page 10 to 11. Frame Group and Shielding Group share pages 6, 7, and 8. Every group is broken out with exploded views. You won’t have to guess which bolt goes where.

1895W Windrow Pickup: Pickup Group and Guards Group

The 1895W Windrow Pickup gets its own section starting on page 16. Pickup Group and Guards Group both appear on pages 18, 19, and 20 – three pages of detailed diagrams for the pickup assembly. The Drive Group, Pickup is mixed in there too. Skid Shoes Group and Shield Group live on pages 16 and 17. If you’re replacing a worn skid shoe or a damaged shield, that’s where you look. No flipping back and forth between unrelated sections.

Why Factory Parts Diagrams Beat Aftermarket Reprints

Aftermarket catalogs often use the same drawings year after year, even when New Holland updated a bracket or changed a bushing. This catalog was printed in 1979 by Sperry New Holland. It says “Replaces All Previous Issues” right on the cover. That means the part numbers in here supersede anything from earlier catalogs. You order from the current factory spec, not a copy of a copy. If you want context on how manufacturers standardize part numbering, the Automotive Industry Overview covers that. But for this combine, trust the 1979 issue.

Fifty-two pages. That’s it. No filler. Every page is a parts breakdown or a support bundle listing. The Recommended Initial Parts Stock on pages 47 and 48 tells you exactly which spares to have on hand so you aren’t waiting for a shipment halfway through harvest. That alone saves hours of downtime.

Does This Manual Cover Both Metric and Inch Fasteners?

Page 4 includes a Metric and Inch Conversion Chart. New Holland used a mix of hardware in the late 70s. That chart keeps you from cross-threading a metric bolt into an inch-threaded hole. Don’t skip it. I’ve seen guys assume everything is SAE and snap off a bolt. The conversion numbers are printed right there – use them.

Recommended Initial Parts Stock: Pages 47-48

If you’re stocking parts for a fleet of 1895A and 1895W machines, the initial stock list on pages 47-48 is your ordering checklist. It lists part numbers, descriptions, and suggested quantities. That’s the kind of information you don’t get from a generic aftermarket catalog. You’re paying for the factory’s experience, not a publisher’s guess.

Need a related manual for a different model? The New Holland 1895A, 890A, 919A3, 919A4, 919A6 1982 Parts Catalog covers later production. For balers, the Ford New Holland 853 1993 Parts Catalog – OEM Baler Manual is worth having. Each one is the same level of factory accuracy.

Understanding how these parts catalogs fit into the bigger picture of agricultural equipment history is useful. For that, the Automotive Industry Overview gives you a good background. But when you’re on the clock and need a part number for a 1895R4 row crop header, this 1979 catalog is what you want on the bench.

What models does this parts catalog cover?

1895A, 1895N4, 1895R4, and 1895W.

How many pages is this manual?

52 pages. The table of contents runs to page 3, then each model section starts with its own page range. Auger group alone gets three full pages of exploded diagrams.

Does it include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It provides exploded views, part numbers, and recommended initial stock lists. Torque specs belong in the factory service manual. However, the conversion chart on page 4 does list inch-to-metric equivalents for fasteners, which helps you choose the correct bolt grade. If you need torque values for the auger drive or frame bolts, you’ll want the separate service manual for the 1895 series.

Is this a factory OEM manual or a reprint?

This is the original factory OEM manual from Sperry New Holland, Issue 11-79, replacing all previous issues. It’s not a third-party compilation. The diagrams are scanned from the original print run.

You’re not going to find a better way to identify the right parts for a 1979 New Holland 1895A, 1895N4, 1895R4, or 1895W. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your tablet or print the pages you need. Your parts counter will thank you, and your combine will be back in the field sooner.
