Part of the New Holland Repair Manuals.
Knife register, wobble box, feed auger flighting clearance: this New Holland 740CF, 800C service manual PDF settles those questions across 396 pages of factory data for the 740CF Super Flex and 800C auger headers, OEM 47627581. Electrical work claims the largest share of the book: wiring diagrams, harness and connector pinouts, and the reel speed and position circuits that decide whether your header answers the cab controls. Hydraulic schematics trace both reel positioning circuits, vertical and fore-and-aft, and the cutting mechanism chapters take the sickle cutterbar, knife drive belt, and hold-down clips from teardown through adjustment. Torque the knife drive shaft nut to 299.6 N·m (221 lb ft) and set the header height sensor lock nut at 1.35 N·m before you condemn the sensor. It's you, the header, and nobody to ask. Download the bookmarked, text-searchable PDF and print the pages for the job; they can take grease on the bench while the weather holds.
