Barber Greene SB‑170 Parts Catalog – The Only Parts List You Should Trust

If you’ve ever ordered a $400 conveyor belt for an SB‑170 asphalt paver and gotten the wrong one because you guessed the part number, you know the frustration. I’ve seen it. This Barber Greene SB‑170 Parts Catalog is the factory document that spells out exactly which part goes where, with which serial number range, and how to order it. Skip the aftermarket junk. Get the real numbering system.

How to Order Parts Correctly – From the Manual Itself

Page 2 of this catalog lays out the ten things you must include on every parts order. Not suggestions – requirements. Things like your machine serial number, the sub‑assembly name (e.g., “final transmission”), and whether to ship freight or UPS. I’ve worked with shops that lost a week because they wrote “conveyor belt” and left out the machine serial. That mistake costs billable hours. This manual makes it plain. Read page 2 before you pick up the phone or fill out a web form.

Serial Number Check: The One Step You Cannot Skip

Every SB‑170 has a serial number plate on the machine and another on the screed. The manual is organized around those numbers. Look at page 3: there’s a note that says items with a check mark (✔) are the only listings that apply to your machine. If you order from a listing without a check mark, you’re ordering parts that may not fit. I’ve watched mechanics do exactly that and then blame the catalog. The catalog is right. Read the check marks.

238 Pages of Factory Parts Breakdown

This is not a stacked parts drawing with generic numbers. This catalog runs 238 pages broken into assemblies: conveyor belt, screw conveyors, material handling, drives, screed – everything down to the last fastener. Each section uses indentations to show what comes in a kit vs. what you order individually. If you need a cleated conveyor belt for a 24″ x 16’‑5″ system, the catalog lists part numbers for each variant. No guessing. You verify your serial, find your variant, and order the exact part number printed by Barber Greene.

Barber Greene SB‑170 Parts Catalog: Factory‑Assembled Data

This is a genuine OEM document – not a third‑party compilation. Aftermarket catalogs often copy the illustration but swap part numbers or miss updates. Barber Greene issued this catalog specifically for the SB‑170 model. The page headers and footers carry the model identifier. Compare that to aftermarket PDFs that leave out the serial number steering notes on page 3. If you want to keep your paver running without ordering wrong parts twice, use the source that Barber Greene built.

What This Catalog Does Not Cover

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It tells you what part to order, not how to install it. If you need repair procedures, look at the Barber Greene SB-170 Finisher Service Manual 1971″>service manual that goes with this machine. But for ordering, this is the final word. Pair it with the Barber Greene BG-240 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Parts Breakdown for Asphalt Pav”>BG‑240 parts catalog if you run that model too, and the Barber Greene SRNO Screed Parts List 876-2500″>screed parts list for the SRNO screed.

The same principles of documentation that keep heavy equipment running apply across all machinery. For a broader look at why factory spec data matters, check the Automotive Industry Overview”>Automotive Industry Overview. Then come back and order from this catalog.

Don’t guess. Don’t reuse a part number from the internet. Use the one printed by Barber Greene. Automotive Industry Overview

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines does this catalog cover?

It covers the Barber Greene SB‑170 asphalt paver. Check the serial number on your machine to confirm it matches the range printed in the catalog.

How do I use the check marks on each page?

Look at page 3 of the manual. A check mark (✔) next to a listing means that part applies to your specific machine serial number. If there is no check mark, that listing is for a different serial range. Do not order from it. The manual has many pages with notes that change based on serial breaks – read every note on the page you are ordering from.

What if I order without the serial number?

Your parts supplier will either reject the order or send the wrong parts. The catalog is written so that every assembly and sub‑assembly references a serial number. Without it, you are gambling. Don’t.

Does this catalog include torque specs?

No – this is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and ordering instructions only.
