ASV SC-50 2008 Parts Catalog

Working on an ASV SC-50 without the factory parts catalog is like torquing head bolts with a rusty crowbar — you might get close, but you won’t hit the spec. I’ve seen more than one shop order the wrong hydraulic hose because they guessed the part number from an aftermarket list. This 28-page OEM catalog from 2008 gives you the exact ASV part numbers, exploded views, and serial number breaks for every assembly on the ASV SC-50 2008 Parts Catalog. If you’re rebuilding the undercarriage or swapping a radiator, you need this on your bench, not some generic PDF.

Why a Factory Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket Lists

Aftermarket parts catalogs are a gamble. They often combine multiple model years into one table and leave out critical serial number splits. This OEM catalog, printed 3/08, lists every assembly from Standard Cab Facia (Serial # CFA 00101-Current) to the Undercarriage Assembly (Serial # CFA 00101-Current). Page 1A-A shows the Standard Cab Facia with specific part numbers for the standard fascia, while the optional Red Cab Facia appears on page 1A-B. You won’t find that kind of granularity in a third-party compiled list. The Automotive Industry Overview has plenty of examples of how missing serial breaks cost shops hours of backtracking.

Engine Assembly and Hydraulic Drive: Where the Catalog Shines

Need the part number for the engine oil filter on this Perkins-powered machine? Flip to the General Service Items & Lubricants section at the front of the catalog. It lists the Perkins filter, Donaldson primary and secondary air filters, and even the ethylene glycol antifreeze specs. For the hydraulic system, the catalog dedicates eight separate sections: Hydraulic Reservoir Assembly (page 5-A), Hydraulic Control Assembly (page 6-A), Pilot Generation Block (page 7-A), and Hydraulic Drive Assembly (page 8-A). If your SC-50 has the optional Hydraulic Auxiliary Assembly, that’s covered on page 9-A. Each of these sections breaks out the exact ASV P/N for every fitting, hose, and manifold.

19 Assemblies, Serial-Specific

The table of contents lists 19 assemblies plus two large service-item tables. Each assembly is keyed to a serial number prefix. For example, the Radiator/Oil Cooler Assembly has two separate pages: one for machines up to Serial # CFA 00101-200 (page 4-A) and another for CFA 00201-Current (page 4-B). If you order parts without verifying that serial break, you’ll end up with the wrong cooler mount. The 17. Undercarriage Assembly (page 17-A) includes the track components and wheel bearing lubricant specs. The catalog also covers optional attachments like the Snow Blade Assembly (page 18-A) and Personnel Carrier Assembly (page 19-A). This is the kind of detail that keeps a job from turning into a warranty return.

Hydraulic and General Service Items: Lubricants and Filters

Look at the General Service Items & Lubricants table: it specifies Multi-Grade 10W-30 engine oil in quarts and gallons, Donaldson air filter numbers, and Multi-Purpose Lithium grease in tubes or cases. The Hydraulic Service Items & Lubricants table lists the wheel bearing lube (8 oz bottle or case of 10). You can also find the fuse panel layout and battery cable routing in the drawing sheets. If you’re a home garage enthusiast keeping an SC-50 for snow removal or landscaping, this catalog saves you the trial-and-error of cross-referencing aftermarket numbers. The factory drawing on page 12-A shows the Engine Assembly with every bracket and bolt callout.

Who Needs This Catalog?

Anybody who owns, maintains, or repairs an ASV SC-50 rubber track utility vehicle. If you’re a DIY mechanic working on your own machine, you’ll use this to order exact replacements for the torsion axle, cab facia, or hydraulic manifold. If you run a shop, having this on the shelf means your techs stop guessing part numbers and start turning wrenches. The manual is 28 pages of pure OEM data — no fluff, no aftermarket guessing. Beginners should note that the drawings are exploded views with callout numbers that match the parts list columns. You don’t need to be a master tech to read them, but you do need to verify your serial number before ordering. Aftermarket parts catalogs like ASV SR-80 2007 Parts Catalog or ASV ST-50 2008 Parts Catalog cover different models — this one is specific to the SC-50.

Source Validity: OEM Print, Not a Scan of a Scan

This is the original factory publication (part number 2051-884) printed in March 2008. It’s not a reprint or a third-party compilation. The catalog uses serial number ranges that match ASV’s own production runs. Every part number in the General Service Items table (e.g., Perkins 26560017 for the fuel filter) came straight from ASV’s engineering department. I trust OEM documentation over aftermarket every time because I’ve caught too many misprints in the latter. For a broader look at how OEM manuals improve shop efficiency, see Automotive Industry Overview.

Does this catalog include part numbers for the hydraulic control assembly?

Yes, section 6 covers the Hydraulic Control Assembly with full part numbers and exploded views.

What if my SC-50 has a serial number outside the ranges listed?

The catalog covers serial numbers starting at CFA 00101 up to the current production at the time of printing (3/08). Most assemblies are marked “Serial # CFA 00101-Current”. For machines built after that date, you would need a newer revision. However, many late-model SC-50s still fall within this range. Always cross-check the serial break noted on each assembly page — the Radiator/Oil Cooler section has two different pages (4-A and 4-B) depending on whether your chassis is below or above CFA 00201. If your serial is exactly CFA 00101-200, use page 4-A. If it’s CFA 00201 or higher, use page 4-B. This level of detail is why the OEM catalog is the only source I recommend for ordering internal parts like the pilot generation block or the two-speed/brake manifold. Without the correct serial break, you risk ordering a hydraulic drive assembly that doesn’t bolt up.
