New Holland 265 Parts Catalog – What You Actually Get on the Bench

I’ve lost count of how many baler knotter assemblies came through my shop with wrong parts from aftermarket listings. You order a “knife group” and get something that’s close but not close enough – then you lose a day of baling. The New Holland 265 Parts Catalog stops that. It’s 81 pages of factory exploded diagrams and part numbers – no guesswork, no third-party approximations.

DRAWBAR GROUP AND P.T.O. GROUP – Part Number Reference

Page 4 kicks off the drawbar group with bolts, wear plates, and the riddle set. The catalog lists every part number, quantity, and description. For the P.T.O. group (page 6), you get the shaft, yokes, and guards. If you’re swapping a PTO driveline, you need those original numbers – not a generic “fits most” part that binds up under load.

Needles, Yoke and Safety Latch Group – Why You Need the Right Parts

The needles and yoke group (page 36) is a common failure spot on these balers. One bent needle jams the whole wire tie sequence. This catalog gives you the exact part numbers for needles, yoke, safety latch, and springs. I’ve seen guys try to straighten a needle and call it good – that never ends well. Order the factory part and move on.

What the 81 Pages Cover?

Every major assembly is broken down: main frame, plunger, feeder gearbox, knotter, twister, metering wheel, bale tension groups – plus the hydraulic pick-up lift, wire tie, chute, and wagon hitch groups. You also get part numbers for the grease gun and nozzle (28707) and New Holland paint: red (part no. 70365 quart, 70036 gallon) and yellow (part no. 70106 quart, 70107 gallon).

3 Sections That Cause the Most Confusion

Feeder Tension Group (page 24): Techs often mix up the spring washers and spacers. The catalog shows item numbers and quantities – no ambiguity.
Knotter Group (page 30): The bill hooks, wiper arms, and cam followers have specific part numbers that change between serial number breaks. This catalog lists them clearly.
Hydromatic Bale Tension Kit (page 66): Aftermarket kits often omit the correct valve block o-rings. The factory catalog gives you the kit breakdown so you can order individual components if needed.

Ordering Parts the Right Way – What the Manual Says

Page 2 of the catalog includes the factory ordering instructions: give the model and serial number, write complete part number with description, understand left/right as facing direction of travel, and specify shipping details. Follow that and you get the right part the first time. Skip it and you’re waiting another week for a return.

I’ve been a mechanic for 28 years. I trust OEM documentation because it’s written by the engineers who designed the machine. This isn’t a third-party reprint – it’s the original New Holland Division parts catalog. You buy it once, you use it for every rebuild.

Here’s the bottom line: if you’re working on a 265 Hayliner, you need this catalog on your bench or tablet. New Holland 265 Hayliner Baler Parts Catalog covers the baler. For other New Holland models, check Ford New Holland 853 1993 Parts Catalog or Ford New Holland 568 1991 Parts Catalog.

FAQ

Does this catalog include torque specs for assembly?

No, this is a parts catalog – it lists part numbers and exploded views, not tightening specifications. You’ll need the service manual for torque values.

How do I use this catalog to order a part not listed in the main groups?

Check the index on page 3 for transfer sets (twine tie part 158781 or wire tie 530423) and paint numbers. Then go to the specific group page – for example, if you need a feeder tension spring, turn to page 24, find the item number, and write down the part number exactly as shown. When ordering, include your model and serial number, use the complete part number, specify left/right orientation if applicable (facing forward), and choose shipping method. This ensures you get the correct component without returns.
