New Holland 474, 489, 492 & 1465 Mower Conditioner PDF Repair Service Manual (Publication No. 86630605)

The New Holland 474, 489, 492 and 1465 Haybine® Mower Conditioners were developed to help hay producers complete two essential harvesting operations in a single pass—cutting the crop cleanly while conditioning stems for faster, more uniform drying. Whether harvesting alfalfa, clover, timothy or mixed grasses, these machines have earned a reputation for producing clean windrows, minimizing leaf loss and improving forage quality. Their dependable cutterbar, synchronized conditioning rolls and simple driveline design make them a popular choice for livestock farms, dairy operations and commercial hay producers.

As these mower conditioners accumulate years of seasonal use, components such as the wobble drive, sickle assembly, conditioner rolls, PTO driveline, reel bearings, hydraulic lift system and gearboxes require accurate inspection and repair. This OEM Factory Repair Service Manual provides dealership-level workshop procedures that guide technicians through diagnostics, disassembly, inspection, overhaul, adjustment and final testing. Publication 86630605 helps restore factory performance while reducing costly downtime during critical hay harvesting seasons.
