Allis-chalmers 918 Parts Catalog

I’ve been wrenching 28 years, and I’ll tell you straight: guessing part numbers is a fast way to burn time and money. Allis-chalmers 918 Parts Catalog is the fix. 168 pages of factory-sourced numbers and exploded views covering the tractor, loader, and backhoe. If you’re chasing a Brake drum or a hydraulic seal, this book gets you the right number the first call to your dealer.

As the Automotive Industry Overview notes, proper part identification cuts rebuild time more than any tool in your box. This catalog delivers that.

Allis-chalmers 918 Parts Catalog – The Index Structure

This parts catalog is organized alphabetically by component group, not by location. The front section lists parts from Heater to Weights, then groups like AXLE ASSEMBLY, BACKHOE, ELECTRICAL, ENGINE, HYDRAULICS, and LOADER each have their own breakout. Every illustration follows its text group. You don’t flip between separate diagram and number pages – the numbers are right there.

Brake parts sit under AXLE ASSEMBLY with Drum, Differential, Carrier, and Final Drive. The catalog lists attaching hardware separately – bolts, nuts, cotter pins – under the part they attach to. Common hardware like a bolt holding the Brake drum is listed in the text, not buried in an assembly code.

Brake Assembly and Rear Axle: Where to Find the Numbers

Rebuilding the rear axle? The manual breaks down Brake Assy, Drum, Differential, Gear (ring and side), Shaft, Spider, and Final Drive. Part numbers for the brake shoes, return springs, and adjusters are itemized. For the 918, the axle section also includes the Carrier and Shaft w/Pinion. The Numerical Index at the back of the catalog lets you look up any part number and find its page – fast.

168 Pages of Factory-Sourced Part Numbers

That’s 168 pages of content. No blank filler, no generic diagrams. Each page corresponds to a PDF bookmark for fast digital navigation – page 1 is the title, page 2 the general description and foreword, then straight into the part listings. The last section is the part number index. If you need the page for a specific bolt, the index gets you there.

What Information Do You Need to Order Parts?

From the foreword: supply tractor and engine serial numbers, model/name and serial number, common name of part or description and location, your name and address, and shipping preference. Right and left are determined from the operator seat facing forward. For backhoe units, right/left is determined facing the backhoe. The catalog also states that shortages or errors must be claimed immediately upon receipt – read that warning before you open the box.

This process aligns with best practices from the Automotive Industry Overview – documented parts traceability is the foundation of any solid rebuild.

Loader-Backhoe Attachments: Complete Parts Breakdown

The LOADER section covers control handles, lift arms, tilt levers, links, and the bucket. BACKHOE includes arm assembly, bucket, boom, control handles, dipperstick, swing link, stabilizer shoe, and stabilizer cylinders. Hydraulics get their own major section with cylinders for boom, bucket, dipper, stabilizer, swing, plus valves, tubes, and the swing cushion valve. The Power Steering subsection lists control valve, ram, pump, oil cooler lines, and valve.

Loader bucket teeth and backhoe bucket teeth are listed under ATTACHMENTS, along with the Cab. This catalog groups things by function, not by location – if you need a dipper cylinder seal, it’s under HYDRAULICS: Backhoe: Cylinders: Dipper.

Q: Does the manual include brake part numbers?

Yes. See Brake section under AXLE ASSEMBLY.

Q: How do I ensure I order the correct part from this catalog?

Provide tractor and engine serial numbers, model/serial number, common name or description and location of the part, your name and address, and shipping preference. Right and left are from the operator seat facing forward. Use the Numerical Index at the back to find the page for any part number. If the part is part of an assembly, the “Assembly or Packaged Parts” listing will indicate that. Also check the foreword: shortages or errors must be reported immediately upon receipt. Cross-reference serial number ranges if listed. Bring the old part to the dealer if possible. The catalog’s index covers every part number used in the 918, so you can trace backward from a bolt to its parent assembly.
