New Holland 67, 68, 69, 70, 71 1969 Parts Catalog

If you are ordering parts for a New Holland 67, 68, 69, 70, or 71 medium-density baler and the aftermarket catalog shows the wrong plunger head or a missing knotter arm, you already know the headache. I have seen guys order a Boîte à ficelle assembly only to get a box of wrong-sized springs. Then the machine sits while you wait another week. That is why the New Holland 67, 68, 69, 70, 71 1969 Parts Catalog belongs on your workbench. This is the original French edition (1-69) from New Holland – Sperry Rand, and it lists every part with the factory number and group breakdown. Not a copy. Not a reprint. Original.

Why the Original Parts Catalog Matters for Baler Repairs

Aftermarket catalogs love to merge different model years into one generic drawing. That causes you to order a part that is close but not correct. Then you have to pay restocking fees and wait another shipping cycle. This catalog is model-specific: 67, 68, 69, 70, and 71. Each group is clearly separated. For example, the PTO sections list front and rear drives separately (pages 57–73). The part numbers are genuine New Holland numbers, so you can cross-reference with a dealer or search online with confidence. The manual is 108 pages, and the numeric index on pages 99–107 lets you look up any part by number in seconds.

Boîte Principale and Main Drive: Pages 6–9

Group two covers the main gearbox, connecting rod, and flywheel. The catalog gives exploded views with each item numbered. You will see the casting part number for the gearbox housing, the seals, and the bearing cups. There is also a detail section on pages 8–9 that shows the internal shifter forks and gear clusters. If you need the pinion meter (Pignon métreur), that is on page 26. Every fastener is listed by size and quantity. No guesswork about which bolt goes where.

Ramasseur and Feeder: Factory Breakdown on Pages 28–32

The pick-up assembly (Ramasseur) is a common wear area. This catalog shows the tine bars, cams, and strippers with individual part numbers. There is also a feeder housing section on pages 34–36 (Carter d’ameneur). You will see the drive chain and sprocket specs. If you are rebuilding the pick-up, you need this page to order the correct tine holders and retainer clips. The optional equipment list on page 3 includes a soft-ground wheel kit (part number 161591 for models 67–70, 161592 for models 68–69–71) – that alone can save you from ordering the wrong wheels.

Optional Equipment Kits for Heavy Bales and Wet Ground

Page 3 of the catalog lists optional packages: Colis n°1 (extra hay stops), Colis n°2 (straw bale kit), Colis n°3 (heavy bale kit), and conversion kits for wire or twine. Each kit has a specific part number and is cross-referenced to which models it fits. There is also a hydraulic density control device (Appareil hydraulique de densité de balle, number 70903) and a bale kicker (Ejecteur de balle). If your baler came without these, you can order the exact retrofit kit using this catalog. The tool list on page 108 shows the required hex wrenches (6.35 mm and 9.5 mm) and grease gun (part 28707). Keep that page handy when you tear down the knotter.

Does This Catalog Cover Both Twine and Wire Models?

Yes. The manual splits the tying sections: Presses à Ficelle (twine) includes the knotter pages 80–83, needle carrier and twine finger on pages 76–79. Presses à Fil de Fer (wire) covers the twister on pages 84–88, needle carrier 90–91, wire guide 92–93, and spool holder 94–95. If you are converting from one to the other, the conversion kit numbers are listed (161589 for twine, 53148 for wire). I have used these pages to rebuild both types – the drawings are accurate enough to identify the correct replacement even if the part is not labeled in the field.

Tool Requirements for Disassembly

The catalog’s Outillage section lists factory-recommended tools: a grease pump (28707) and two hex keys (6.35 mm and 9.5 mm). For the decal sets, there are specific part numbers per model (e.g., 161206 for model 70, 161205 for model 71). Do not use aftermarket decals that are sized for a different model – they will not line up with the mounting holes. Order the correct set from this catalog.

Source Authenticity: Original OEM vs. Aftermarket

I will not trust a parts catalog that was scanned from a photocopy of a reprint. This is a direct scan of the original 1969 factory document, published by New Holland Division of Sperry Rand France. The part numbering system is consistent with New Holland’s global standards, and the index is fully numeric. For context on how manufacturers structure their parts databases, see Automotive Industry Overview. Every group page includes a note that New Holland reserves the right to improve designs – meaning you need the production date of your machine to match the part number. The manual tells you to provide the model and serial number (located on the front of the frame near the flywheel) – this is exactly what I tell my customers to do before ordering.

Can I use this catalog to rebuild the knotter on a model 71?

Yes. The twine model’s Noeuer section (pages 80–83) covers models 67–71. Wire model coverage starts on page 84.

How do I find a part number if I only have the old part in hand?

The catalog includes a numeric index on pages 99–107 that lists every part number alphabetically by group. If the part has a number stamped on it, look it up there. If not, identify the group (e.g., Ramasseur) and scan the exploded diagram. The drawings are detailed enough to match most castings. For optional equipment, check page 3 first – many kits are listed there with the same part numbers used in the main sections. If you are still unsure, call a New Holland dealer with the model and serial number. This catalog gives you the correct OEM number to give them, so they cannot substitute a superseded part incorrectly.

Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your tablet or printed in your shop binder. I have one for every New Holland baler I work on – it stops the parts-ordering headaches before they start.
