ASV RC-85 2009 Parts Catalog

Mike Callahan here. If you have spent billable hours matching parts on a 2009 RC-85 rubber track loader because the dealer’s computer spit out the wrong supersession, you know why this document matters. This is the OEM ASV RC-85 2009 Parts Catalog — 37 pages of factory-printed exploded views, original part numbers, and serial-number-specific breaks. Not a recompiled PDF from some third-party parts house. This is the same booklet the ASV parts counter opened when you called in 2009.

27 Systems Mapped — From Cab to Undercarriage

Twenty-seven sections in the table of contents, each keyed to specific serial number ranges. Page 1-A starts with the Cab (R.O.P.S.) Assembly — serial RSF 00101-Current. That means if your RC-85 was built after the first batch, this catalog still lists the correct cab parts. The Enclosed Cab (optional) gets its own page (2-A). Then Instrument Panel, Chassis (split at RSF 00556), Hood, Radiator/Oil Cooler split at RSF 00966 — every major assembly has its own page with callout numbers matching the ASV part numbers in the margin. You don’t guess; you flip to the right page for your machine’s serial range.

Serial Number Ranges: Why You Need Them

Anyone who’s ordered a lift arm control valve for an early RC-85 and got the wrong casting knows the pain. This catalog breaks the Lift Arm Control Valve Assembly into two separate pages: Page 9-A for serial RSF 00101-930, and Page 9-B for RSF 00931-Current. Same for Quick Attach Assembly (26-A and 26-B). The serial number split is printed right in the heading. Ignore it and you waste time — and your customer’s machine sits on jack stands. The catalog also covers both 10″ and 14″ wheel assemblies (pages 22 and 23) with the right bearing and lug part numbers.

Engine Assembly, Hydraulics, and Drive Systems

Engine Assembly (page 12-A) lists all components from the block up — oil pan, gaskets, injection pump parts. Drive/Auxiliary Pump Assembly on page 10-A covers the pump stack that sends power to the Posi-Track undercarriage. The Hydraulic Reservoir Assembly (page 7-A) and Hydraulic Control Assembly (page 8-A) are separate; don’t assume the reservoir and the valve stack share the same parts page. Pilot Generation Block (page 11-A) rounds out the control side. If you need a seal kit for the drive motor, you cross-reference the pump assembly page, then look up the O-ring and seal sizes in the back where the catalog lists general service items and lubricants.

Parts Catalog vs. Service Manual — What You Get

This document is a parts catalog, not a service manual. There are no torque specs, no disassembly procedures, no diagnostic flowcharts. What it does give you is the exact factory part number — bolts, o-rings, hydraulic fittings, filters — with each piece drawn in its assembly location. The last pages cover General Service Items & Lubricants: engine oil filter, primary/secondary air filters, diesel fuel filter, and fuel specifications. That section alone can save you from ordering the wrong air filter element for the RC-85’s intake. If you are chasing a part that changed mid-year, the catalog tells you the cut-in serial number so you order the correct revision.

Track Down the Right Part Number for Your RC-85

Flip to the Track Installation Tool (page 17-A) if you need the special tool part number for tensioning the Posi-Track belt. Undercarriage assemblies — right and left — are on pages 18-A and 19-A. Drive tables right and left on 20-A and 21-A. Each page shows the wheel, sprocket, idler, and track adjuster components with their factory numbers. The Lift Arm Assembly (page 24-A) and Lift Arm Tubes and Fittings (page 25-A) are separate — don’t assume the tube kit is part of the lift arm group. Air conditioning assemblies (optional) live on page 27-A if your RC-85 has an enclosed cab with A/C.

Aftermarket parts catalogs often re-draw the diagrams and drop the serial number splits. That is the difference between finishing a job and chasing parts for three days.

For other ASV rubber track loaders, check the ASV SR-80 2007 Parts Catalog and the ASV ST-50 2008 Parts Catalog. If you work on the compact utility side, the ASV SR-70 2007 Parts Catalog covers a similar platform.

Understanding how parts documentation evolved is worth a few minutes. The Automotive Industry Overview offers context on why factory catalogs are built the way they are. And the Automotive Industry Overview provides a broader look at standards for equipment manufacturing.

If you need to order hardware for a 2009 RC-85 and you are tired of playing roulette with part numbers, get the original. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your shop tablet or print the pages you use most. Your parts room will thank you.

Does this manual include service procedures for the ASV RC-85?

No. This is a parts catalog — exploded views, OEM part numbers, and serial number breaks. For repair steps and torque specs, you need the service repair manual for the same model.

How do I use the serial number splits in this catalog?

Find your machine’s serial number on the chassis plate. Then go to the assembly page that matches your serial range. For example, the Chassis Assembly has two pages: 4-A for RSF 00101-555, and 4-B for RSF 00556-Current. Use the page that matches your machine. The same split logic applies to the Radiator/Oil Cooler, Lift Arm Control Valve, and Quick Attach assemblies. If you ignore the break, you will order parts that do not fit.

Access the Factory Manual and stop guessing part numbers.
