Part of the New Holland Repair Manuals.
When a 585 starts dropping missed knots halfway through a field, the difference between baling ahead of the rain and tying bales by hand is knowing exactly which knotter adjustment drifted. This repair manual settles that. It is the factory service reference for the New Holland 585 square baler, serial prefix 984383, including the Deutz F4L912 engine fitted to self-powered units.
The 770 pages work through the machine system by system: drives with knotter and feeder timing, pickup, feeder, plunger and tension, knotter adjustments and troubleshooting, the hydraulic valve manifold and cylinders, the starting and charging circuits, the automatic oiler, and the hitch, wheels, and engine, ending in a full specifications chapter.
Nobody is standing beside you when the plunger starts knocking and the hay is already down. The procedures here are written to be followed alone, step by step, with torque values where they belong. Print the pages for the job and let them get greasy on the bench.
