New Holland Super Hayliner 268 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever stood at a parts counter squinting at a blurry aftermarket printout, you know the feeling. A bolt that doesn’t match, a seal that’s close but not the right one – that costs you half a day and a trip back. For the New Holland Super Hayliner 268 Parts Catalog, I don’t mess around with aftermarket copies. This is the factory OEM file, 78 pages of real part numbers, real exploded views, and no guesswork. Every component from the tongue hitch to the twister group is broken down by assembly group. You get the exact part numbers that came off the New Holland line.

Flywheel, Gearbox and Connecting Rod Group – What’s Listed

Page 4 of the catalog shows the flywheel and gearbox assembly with a connecting rod that includes bushing part number 34574. You see the gearbox assembly (part 66175) broke down into its own sub-group later. The sprockets are listed with tooth counts: 24T and 27T. If you need that seal behind the flywheel, part 151422 is right there. No flipping through vague diagrams – these are line drawings with reference numbers tied directly to the parts list.

Knotter Group – Twine Tie Models: Critical Assembly Details

Pages 16 through 19 cover the knotter group for twine-tie balers. This is where most guys get stuck. The needle yoke, rod, and link group is on pages 14-15. The knotter assembly itself has a dozen small parts – springs, hooks, strippers. Without the OEM part numbers, you’re almost guaranteed to order the wrong cam or miss a retaining ring. The catalog gives you the exact New Holland part numbers for each component, so you can order once and have the baler running before sundown.

Numerical Index and Hardware Index – How to Use Them

Pages 61 through 70 are the indices. The numerical index lists every part number in the catalog sorted by number. The hardware index on pages 68-70 lists bolts, nuts, washers, and cotter pins by size and thread. Need a ¼” x 1″ cotter pin? It’s right there. That saves you from digging through bins trying to match threads. For a parts manual, the index is the most-used section after the assembly views. Automotive Industry Overview might cover general practices, but this manual gives you the factory stuff.

Pick-Up Groups: Wide Tine vs Close Set Tine Models

The catalog splits the pick-up group into two variations. Wide tine models (pages 24-26) and close set tine models (pages 24A-26A). That A suffix means the parts are different – the tine spacing, the guards, the stripper bars. If you have a close set machine, ordering from the wide tine diagram will get you parts that don’t fit. The catalog makes the distinction clear with separate pages and reference numbers. This is the kind of detail you only get from an OEM source.

Safety Note: P.T.O. Clutch and Flywheel Guard Group

Page 48 covers the P.T.O. clutch and flywheel guard assembly. The guard group is on pages 36-38. Those shields and guards are safety items – using the wrong bolt or missing a spacer can cause the guard to rattle loose. The catalog lists every lockwasher and hex nut. If you’re doing a restoration or safety inspection, this section is non-negotiable. Don’t trust aftermarket bolt kits; use the factory part numbers and torque to spec from the service manual.

Bottom line: this is the real factory document. No reprints, no scanned-and-retyped garbage. 78 pages of exploded assemblies, part numbers, and hardware indexes. You can cross-reference any component from the tongue weld assembly (page 4, ref 152954) to the twister group (pages 50-54). Access the Factory Manual and put it on your tablet or print it out for the shop binder. You’ll thank yourself next time a spring breaks at 7 AM.

Does this catalog include torque specs for bolts?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and assembly breakdowns. For torque values, you need the New Holland Super Hayliner 268 service/repair manual.

How many pages does the catalog have?

78 pages.

Can I use this to rebuild the knotter assembly on my Super Hayliner 268?

Yes. Pages 16-19 show the entire knotter group with reference numbers and part descriptions. Every spring, roller, and stripper is listed. You can order the correct parts and reassemble using the exploded view as a guide. The hardware index on pages 68-70 will help you find any fastener.

Are the diagrams clear enough to identify parts without the baler in front of me?

They are line drawings from New Holland factory prints. Each part has a reference number tied to a part number and description. For complex assemblies like the plunger group (pages 10-12), you get multiple views. If you have the part in hand, you can match its shape to the drawing. I’ve used these catalogs for decades – if the drawing shows a flat washer with an 8 mm hole, you’ll find it in the hardware index.

Don’t waste time with aftermarket parts lists that skip hardware or use generic numbers. This is the OEM source: 78 pages, factory part numbers, and the hardware index that most copycats omit. Get the right parts the first time. Access the Factory Manual.
