Part of the Case IH Repair Manuals.
Fits the Case IH 8455, 8460 and 8465 round balers built from 1988 through 1999. That includes the 8465 Automatic and the 8455/8465 set up to run on tractor hydraulics. Pickup, drive, tailgate and ejector, twine and mesh wrap, mainframe, electrical console and hydraulics are all covered.
Balers quit when the hay is fit, not when the dealer is open. Too often the job stalls on one number, like gearbox oil quantity or wheel nut torque, after the parts counter has closed. The spec tables, schematics and Problem/Cause/Correction charts give you that number.
Put it on a phone or tablet and it rides in the tractor cab or sits on the shop bench. When the baler stops at the far end of the field, the book is already there.
