New Holland 1895A, 890A, 919A3, 919A4, 919A6 1982 Parts Catalog

If you are wrenching on an old New Holland harvester head, you already know the pain: a busted gathering chain or a bent knife section, and you are staring at a pile of parts with no clue which PN to order. Aftermarket parts listings are garbage—they skip the supersession info and leave you holding the wrong bushing. That is why I keep this 1982 factory New Holland 1895A, 890A, 919A3, 919A4, 919A6 1982 Parts Catalog within arm’s reach on the bench. New Holland put 77 pages of exploded views and part numbers into this thing, and it is the only way to get the job done without ordering three times. Automotive Industry Overview

Frame and Gathering Chains: What the Factory Gives You

Every row crop model in this catalog—890N3, 890R3, 919N3, 919R3, 919N4, 919R4, 1895N4, 1895R4, and the 919N6—has its own frame section. The exploded views start on pages 44-50 for the 890N3 models and 52-55 for the 919N4 and 1895N4 models. You get the hex shaft drive parts (pages 60-61) and the gathering chains (pages 56-58) broken out by individual link, sprocket, and chain guard. When a customer brings in a 919A6 with a slapping chain, I flip to pages 56-58 and verify the exact part number for the idler sprocket. No guessing. New Holland 1895 Series 1979 Parts Catalog

Knife Assemblies and Conversion Bundles

Knife sections are where most aftermarket screw-ups happen. This catalog covers the knife assemblies for all row crop models on pages 40-43 (890R3) and pages 48-51 (1895R4). It also lists the narrow row conversion bundle for the 890R3 (pages 40-43, 61) and the wide row conversion bundle for the 1895N4 (pages 48-51, 61). If you are converting a 919A4 from a 30-inch row spacing to a 28-inch setup, the bundle PN is on page 68. Page 69 has the 28-inch bundle for the 919N6. These are factory part numbers, not aftermarket cross-references that might or might not fit.

Metric Hardware and Conversion Data

For the guys who think all bolts are SAE—stop. Pages 6-7 contain the metric hardware and conversion table. New Holland started mixing metric fasteners into these heads by 1982. The table shows the thread pitch, grade, and torque equivalence. I have seen a tech snap a M10 bolt because he used an SAE wrench and reefed on it. That does not happen with these pages open. Copy them and tape them to your box.

Row Crop Models: 890N3 to 919N6—What Fits What

This catalog splits content by model group because parts are not always interchangeable. The 890N3 and 919N3 share many frame and shield parts, but the 1895N4 uses different divider points (pages 48-51) and a different driven main drive (pages 60-61). The 919N6 is its own beast—chain boards on pages 52-55, slip clutch on pages 52-55, and a support stand on pages 52-55. If you are working on an 1895A auger base, the row crop section still applies because the base unit shares the knife and gathering chain hardware. Automotive Industry Overview

Source Validity: Factory Print, Not a Copy

This is an original 1982 Sperry New Holland publication. The cover says “Issue 2-82 496946 (REPLACES ALL PREVIOUS ISSUES).” That means it supersedes any earlier catalog you might have. The part numbers inside are the genuine New Holland numbers—no aftermarket renumbering, no Chinese knock-off listings. Ordering from this manual gets you the exact bolt, bearing, or shield that left the factory. I have been burned by aftermarket catalogs that list a “universal” gathering chain that does not fit the 919A4 because the pitch is off. This manual does not do that.

5 Systems Covered in 77 Pages

Flip through and you will find: frame and side sheets, gathering chains and drives, knife assemblies, dividers (powered and non-powered), shields, stalk bumpers, slip clutches, support stands, conversion bundles for row spacing, and a recommended initial parts stock list (pages 71-72). That last section alone is worth the price if you are stocking a shop for these heads. It tells you which bearings, chains, and knives to keep on the shelf so you are not waiting three days for a part.

Audience Fit: Who Should Buy This

Home garage enthusiasts who own an 890A, 919A3, 919A4, 919A6, or 1895A—this is for you. If you have ever ordered the wrong gathering chain because the internet said “fits New Holland 890” and it did not, this stops that. Professional mechanics in small shops who see these heads during corn harvest season also need it. The exploded views save time during tear-down because you see how the hex shaft routes through the frame before you pull the bolts. Beginners: do not touch a New Holland head without this catalog. You will break something.

Does this catalog include repair procedures or only parts numbers?

Only parts numbers and exploded diagrams. It is a parts catalog, not a service manual. For repair steps you need the separate service manual.

Will the part numbers work for a 919A6 built after 1982?

New Holland changed some parts during production. This catalog is issue 2-82 and supersedes all previous ones, so it is correct for 1982 builds. Later machines may have updated parts—you should check the Historical Reference List for supersessions.

How do I find a part for a 1895A row crop head in this catalog?

Look under the section “MODELS 919N4, 919R4, 1895N4, AND 1895R4 ROW CROPS” starting on page 52. The frame and gathering chain pages list the 1895-specific parts.

Is this a reprint or an original OEM document?

You are buying a digital scan of the original OEM factory catalog from Sperry New Holland. It is not a reprint.

You can spend an afternoon digging through online forums and aftermarket parts sites, or you can open this factory catalog and pull the exact part number in thirty seconds. New Holland designed these heads with specific tolerances, and the only way to keep them running is to use the right parts. Access the Factory Manual and get back to wrenching.
