Bobcat 463, T200, 883, 963, MT50 Parts Catalog

Listen, I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years. I’ve seen more parts orders get screwed up because some DIY guy used an aftermarket catalog than I’ve seen blown head gaskets. This Bobcat 463, T200, 883, 963, MT50 Parts Catalog is the real deal – factory OEM, not some third-party PDF that guesses on bolt lengths. If you need a bucket cutting edge for a 463 or a grapple cylinder seal for a T200, you need the exact Bobcat part number. Otherwise you’re playing parts roulette with your machine’s downtime.

The manual is Volume 5 of the Bobcat Attachments Parts Manual set. It covers buckets, combo buckets, bucket bite/rake, diggers, dumping hopper, ejector bucket, grapples, utility forks, pallet forks, tilt-tatch, utility frames, and weighlog. That’s 407 pages of exploded views and factory part callouts. Printed in 2001 by Bobcat Company. P/N 6901465. Skip the aftermarket junk.

What This Parts Catalog Actually Covers

Don’t confuse this with a service manual. This is a parts catalog – it tells you what bolt goes where and gives you the factory number to order. Volume 5 dives deep into buckets and grapples for: 300 Series, 400 Series, MT50, 463, 500 Series, 600/700 Series, 800 Series, 883/963, T200, 900 Series, and more. Need a bucket for a 463? Pages 18-19. Need the C/I round back for a T200, 883, or 963? Page 70 shows the exact assembly with part numbers. That’s the kind of specificity that keeps your machine running.

OEM Part Numbers: Why Aftermarket Catalogs Fail

Aftermarket parts catalogs usually compile generic numbers from who-knows-where. They drop critical spacers, mislabel hydraulic cylinders, or list obsoleted parts. Bobcat’s own catalog includes supersession info and factory revisions. When I ordered a grapple cylinder seal kit for a 463 from a dealer, I used page 166 of this manual. The part matched. No returns. No wasted time. That’s the value of OEM documentation.

This manual also covers combination buckets, dumping hopper, ejector bucket, and grapples ranging from farm grapples to industrial clam grapples. The Bobcat 463 2007 Service Manual would be what you grab for repair procedures – this catalog is for ordering parts. Keep both on your shelf.

Bucket Section Breakdown: 463, T200, 883, 963, MT50

Each model gets its own spread. For example, the MT50 bucket pages (14-15) show the dirt bucket, cutting edge, and wear strips. The 463 bucket section (18-19) covers standard and round-back buckets. The 883 & 963C/I page (56-57) shows utility and snow buckets. The T200 appears again on page 70 for the C/I round back. Every number is Bobcat OEM – not a generic substitute. If you’re rebuilding a bucket, you need these pages to order the right cutting edge bolts and spill guard kits.

And don’t forget the Bobcat 463 2006 Service Manual – though that’s for repairs, not parts. For parts, stick with this catalog.

Grapples and Hydraulic Cylinders: Page 70 Reference

Page 70 is where you’ll find the C/I round back bucket for T200, 883, and 963. But grapples take up pages 154-313 in this manual. You get farm grapples, industrial clam grapples, log grapples, pulpwood grapples, utility grapples, and all their cylinder breakdowns. The Bobcat T3571, T3571L 2005 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs covers different models, but for these machines, this volume is the one.

I’ve used this manual to rebuild a 463’s bucket cylinder – the exploded view on page 104 for the 44″ combination bucket cylinder showed every seal and snap ring. Ordered everything in five minutes. Aftermarket catalogs? They’d have me guessing on O-ring sizes. No thanks.

How to Use This 407-Page Manual on the Job

Open to the volume index (page 2). Find the attachment type you’re working on – buckets, grapples, diggers, etc. Then flip to the specific model page. Each parts grouping has an exploded drawing with numbered callouts. The parts list below gives the description, quantity, and Bobcat part number. Take that number to your dealer or online OEM parts house. That’s it. No translation needed.

This manual is also essential for verifying compatibility. The Automotive Industry Overview might give you background on machinery, but it won’t tell you if a 463 bucket fits a 500 series mount. This catalog will.

Automotive Industry Overview is useful for general knowledge, but when you’re in the shop, you need Bobcat’s own numbers.

Does this catalog include service procedures or torque specs?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists every nut, bolt, cylinder, cutting edge, and seal with OEM part numbers. For torque values and disassembly instructions, you need a proper factory service manual like the Bobcat 463 2007 Service Manual. Don’t mix them up.

Can I find parts for my 463 bucket?

Yes. Pages 18-19 cover the 463 bucket assembly. The catalog shows exploded views with part callouts. Every item has a Bobcat part number. You can order directly from any dealer with confidence. Aftermarket catalogs often leave out critical spacers or use wrong bolt grades. This manual gets you the exact factory part.

Stop wasting time and money on parts that don’t fit. Access the Factory Manual and get the right part number the first time.
