Allis-chalmers 700, 706, 706B 1982 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Specs

Mike Callahan here. If you’re wrenching on an Allis-chalmers 700, 706, or 706B forklift, you’re done guessing which bolt goes where. This is the Allis-chalmers 700, 706, 706B 1982 Parts Catalog straight from the factory – 281 pages of exploded diagrams, genuine part numbers, and the exact hardware you need. I’ve seen backyard rebuilds go sideways because someone ordered a manifold gasket from the wrong engine family. This catalog separates Ford and Perkins sections for a reason: page 79 shows the Air Cleaner Group for diesel and gas on the 700, and page 271 gives you the Hook Fork Mount dimensions for 44” and 64” carriages. Don’t trust aftermarket cross-references when the OEM blueprint is right here.

Air Intake & Exhaust: Diesel vs. Gas Breakdown

Flip to the Air Intake & Exhaust section and you’ll see the catalog calls out the 700’s Air Cleaner Group separate from the 706/706B air intake. Carburetor, muffler, manifolds – each part is listed with the correct application: Ford exhaust manifold on page 73, Perkins intake on page 75. If you’re swapping a gas engine into a diesel chassis, you need to verify which manifold matches your block. The catalog’s organization saves a trip to the parts counter.

Attachments: Carriages, Fork Mounts, and Lift Lines

Attachments are where most misorders happen. The Parts Catalog covers carriages, hook fork mounts (44”, 60”, 64”), shaft mounts, counterweight group, and lift lines. I’ve seen a shop order a 50” shaft mount for a 44” carriage – that’s a return and a wasted afternoon. This manual lists every variant. Throat guard group and vandalism protection are included too. If you’re rebuilding an older forklift, these pages are worth their weight in chrome.

Cab, Cooling & Electrical – Where Miscounts Happen

Cab assembly, forward vision, cowl, heater group, wiper motor – all separated. Cooling system includes the transmission oil cooler for the 700 and 706B, water pump (Perkins), radiator options (Ford/Perkins/706-706B). Electrical section gives you the alternator, distributor (Ford/Perkins), starter drives, lighting. Instrument panel and ignition parts are broken out by engine. No more guessing which lamp fits the tail light – the catalog tells you the exact part number for head and tail lamps.

Why Factory OEM Beats Aftermarket Copies

I’ve had aftermarket “reprints” come across my bench with blurry diagrams and wrong part numbers. This catalog is the original 1982 factory scan, not a third-party rebuild. The foreword explains the alphabetical and numerical index system – use it to cross-reference any part number quickly. The hardware indent listing under each item is critical: common bolts, nuts, cotter pins are listed indented; they are NOT included unless specified. That little detail has saved me from stripping threads more than once. For more context on industrial standards, check the Automotive Industry Overview.

Drive Train & Transmission: 4-Speed and Differential Parts

Brake assemblies, differential lock linkage, carrier drive, housing and brake parts, control valve, parking brake controls, main drive shaft, power train mounting. The transmission section covers the 4-speed control cover, countershaft, forward/reverse assembly, and valve assembly. If you’re rebuilding the forward and reverse clutch pack, you need the correct item numbers. Don’t rely on generic bearing numbers – the catalog gives you the factory part.

Engine Sections: Ford vs Perkins

Crankshaft, cylinder block, head, head cover, flywheel, front cover – all split by Ford and Perkins. Engine replacement and short block sections are included. If you’re dropping in a short block from a salvage yard, verify the front cover gasket set against the catalog. The Perkins distributor drive is different from the Ford – page 29 shows the distributor components for each. This level of detail is why I keep OEM factory manuals on my shelf, not aftermarket reprints.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and exploded views, not torque values or repair procedures.

Can I use this for the 706B diesel model?

Yes. The catalog has separate sections for Ford and Perkins engines, covering both gas and diesel variants. The 706B is specifically listed in the cooling system, electrical, and air intake sections. Pay attention to the engine callouts – the catalog clearly distinguishes between 700, 706, and 706B applications.

What is the publication date?

October 1982, as printed on the cover. Part number 9006776.

How many pages and what format do I get?

281 pages in PDF format. The file is a direct scan of the original factory binder. It includes the alphabetical and numerical indexes, part diagrams on left pages with text on right, and a recommended dealer stock list at the end.
