Part of the Case IH Repair Manuals.
When the net wrapper quits mid windrow, the 662 pages of this Case IH RB455A service manual PDF (OEM ID 47546430) are what stand between your round baler and a field of downed hay. Factory wiring diagrams, harness routings, and connector pinouts fill the electrical section, which takes up better than a third of the book, backed by fault code tables for the bale formation controls. Repair procedures walk the bale density, tailgate, and pickup lift circuits, then work through every roll in the pressing chamber: starter, stationary, stripper, floor, and sledge. Set belt tensioning pressure between 899 and 2000 psi, and know the main gearbox shearbolt is built to let go at 1350 N·m (996 lb ft). A pressure figure pulled from memory ruins belts. This bookmarked, keyword searchable PDF also carries exploded views, so you order the right part the first time and lose one trip to the dealer, not the whole cutting.
