SAME Deutz-fahr HD 490 1986 Parts Catalog

If you’re ordering parts for a SAME Deutz-fahr HD 490 baler and you’re tired of getting the wrong seals because someone cross-referenced a number wrong, this is the document that fixes that. This is the original factory Parts Catalog from 1986, not a reprint or a third-party compilation. It’s got 152 pages of exploded views and part numbers straight from the people who built the machine. No guesswork, no aftermarket junk.

Ordering Parts the Right Way: What’s on Page 2

Page 2 of this catalog spells out exactly what you need to give your dealer. Machine type, chassis number, part number, quantity, address, shipping method. If you skip any of that, you’re asking for the wrong part to show up. The Germans wrote this in four languages – German, English, French, Spanish – so there’s no excuse. Follow those five bullets and you’ll get the right piece the first time.

3 Reasons to Use OEM Parts Catalogs Over Aftermarket

Aftermarket parts listings often use generic numbers that don’t match the factory revisions. This catalog includes the machine number break (from Mach. No. 6817-101) and notes when a part was changed. You get the exact updated part, not a “cross reference” that leaves you with a bolt that’s two threads short. OEM catalogs also show superseded numbers – something the aftermarket never bothers with. If you need a newer model, check the SAME Deutz-fahr HD 400 2023 Parts Catalog – OEM Specs for a later version.

Parts Catalog Coverage: What’s Inside the 152 Pages

This catalog covers the HD 490 high-density pick-up baler. You’ll find exploded diagrams for the main drive, pickup, feeder, plunger, tying mechanism, and bale chamber. Every part has a numbered callout and a corresponding table with the part number, description, quantity, and notes. The symbols on page 2 explain the column headers – “S” means see drawing, “W” belongs to part number, “D” is diameter. It’s a system. Learn it. The catalog also includes a section on hydraulic and drive shaft parts, with a warning to only replace seal kits on cylinders, not the whole assembly. If you need a different baler, the SAME Deutz-fahr M2780 Parts Catalog – 227 Pages OEM might be what you’re after.

Does This Catalog Cover All HD 490 Models?

Yes, but only from machine number 6817-101 onward. The catalog title page (page 1) clearly states “ab Masch. Nr. 6817-101” – from that serial number. If your baler is older, you’ll need an earlier edition. This is common with factory parts catalogs; they update as the production line changes. The 1986 publication date means it includes all revisions up to that point. For later years, the manufacturer released supplements. The SAME Deutz-fahr AGROTRON K 90-120 Profiline 2006 User Manual – 434 Pages is a different document entirely, but it shows how SAME Deutz-fahr keeps their documentation lineage clear.

Wiring and Hydraulics: Not Included, But Here’s Why

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. You won’t find repair procedures, torque specs, or wiring diagrams. What you get is the part numbers you need to rebuild the machine. If you’re looking for a repair manual, this isn’t it. But if you’re stuck because a dealer can’t find the part number for that hydraulic fitting, this catalog is the only way to get it right. The engine used in the HD 490 is a diesel – for general background on that type of engine, see this Wikipedia article on diesel engines.

Get the Right Part Number Before You Order

Every mechanic I know has a story about ordering a part by description and ending up with something that doesn’t fit. This catalog stops that. You look up the drawing, find the position number, read the table, and order the exact OEM part. The symbols on page 2 even tell you if a part is “by request” (bedarf) or part of a group. One tip: if you’re not sure about the number, the manual says to send a sample part. They’ll scrap it, but you’ll get the right piece. Better to spend a stamp than a whole afternoon swapping the wrong seal.

Can I use this catalog to repair my baler?

No, this is a parts catalog, not a service manual.

What information do I need to provide when ordering parts?

Page 2 lists five requirements: machine type and chassis number, part number and name, quantity, shipping address with postal code, and preferred shipping method. For rail shipments, also include the destination station. The catalog also warns that illustrations may not exactly match the part due to improvements after the document was printed – so if you can’t determine the part number with certainty, send a sample. Unreturned samples get scrapped. The Germans wrote this in four languages to avoid confusion, so follow the directives exactly and you’ll get the right parts every time.
