Bobcat 5600 2002 Parts Catalog – Factory Numbers, No Guessing

If you’ve ever spent a Saturday waiting for a hydraulic motor only to find it’s the wrong revision, you know the drill. I’ve pulled parts from boxes that didn’t match the machine because someone grabbed an aftermarket list. That stops here. This Bobcat 5600 2002 Parts Catalog is an OEM document – 491 pages of factory part numbers, exploded views, and assembly breakdowns for attachments. No reprints, no third-party guesswork. You get the same book the dealer counter uses.

Volume 8 Coverage: Brushcat, Box Blade, Disc HD80 – All in One Manual

This volume covers the heavy-hitters: BOX BLADE, BRUSHCAT, DISC HD80, LANDPLANE, LANDSCAPE RAKE, POWER RAKE, SOIL CONDITIONER, SOD LAYER, STUMP GRINDER, TILLER, TREE SPADE, TREE VIBRATOR, FLAIR MOWER, 3-POINT HITCHES, SCARIFIER, TRACKS, and the HAND TOOL CONTROL and FIFTH WHEEL. Each section starts with an exploded diagram and a parts list. Page references let you jump straight to the component you need. The manual is laid out by attachment type, so you don’t flip through generic sections.

Box Blade – 5600 Toolcat Section: Pages 21-22

Got a 5600 Toolcat with a box blade? The specific section on pages 21-22 covers the BOX BLADE – 5600 TOOLCAT. That’s a dedicated two-page spread with part numbers for the blade frame, pins, bushings, and hydraulic cylinder mounts. I’ve seen guys order the wrong cutting edge because they used a generic cross-reference. The OEM catalog gives you the exact Bobcat part number – no cross-referencing, no returns.

Why Factory Part Numbers Beat Aftermarket Lists

Aftermarket parts catalogs often mix supersessions or omit updates. This Bobcat publication from 2002 includes the original part numbers plus any revisions printed before that date. If Bobcat changed a seal or a bearing, it’s reflected here. The factory manual also shows which hardware is critical – like grade 8 bolts in the gearbox assembly. I’ve had a grader blade shear bolts because someone used a generic bolt from a bin. That doesn’t happen when you order the exact Bobcat part.

Disassembling the Gearbox? Start With the Parts Diagram

When you pull the gearbox on a 60″ Brushcut Rotary Cutter (pages 37-38), the diagram shows the seal orientation, bearing stack, and shim placement. Without that, you’re guessing at shim thickness. The parts catalog lists each shim by thickness (e.g., 0.010″, 0.015″) so you can order the exact size. Pair this with the service manual for torque specs, and you have a complete rebuild plan. For the hydrostatic motor (pages 33-36), the exploded view identifies the gerotor set, wear plate, and O-ring kit – all by number.

3 Systems That Rely on Correct Part Identity

• Hydraulic Cylinders: The Box Blade cylinder section (pages 17-19) lists rod seals, piston seals, and gland nuts. One wrong seal causes drift.
• Shutoff Valves: Pages 39-41 and 57-58 cover the shutoff valves for both 60″ and 48″ cutters. Valves have different port sizes – get the wrong one and the machine won’t connect.
• Front Roller Kits: Pages 43-44 show the roller assembly with bearings and spacers. Without the correct spacer, the roller binds.

Every part number on those pages matches the Bobcat 5600 attachment mounting pattern. I’ve watched guys lose a whole weekend because they ordered a generic roller that didn’t fit the bracket. You won’t be that guy.

Does This Manual Cover the 48″ vs 60″ Brushcut Differences?

Yes – and it’s worth the price of admission alone. The 48″ rotary cutter (pages 45-48) uses a different gearbox than the 60″. The 48″ gearbox comes in dual-output (pages 51-54) and single-output (pages 55-56) variants. The parts catalog shows both. If you mix up the input shaft bearings, the gearbox vibrates apart. The factory drawings make the distinction clear.

Source Validity: OEM Bobcat Parts Manual, Volume 8

This is the original Bobcat Company publication from 2002, part number 6901471 (08-02). It’s not a copy, not a scan of a scan. The document is 491 pages, full resolution. The VOLUME INDEX inside shows the exact part numbers assigned to each volume – for instance, Volume 8 covers P/N 6901471. I trust OEM manuals because I’ve seen aftermarket diagrams skip a washer or use a generic fastener callout. You pay for that mistake when the part doesn’t thread. Don’t.

Related manuals you might need: Bobcat 5600 2003 Parts Catalog for later revisions, Bobcat Attachment Parts Catalog Volume 8 covers the same attachments but with different part runs, and Bobcat T3571, T3571L 2005 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs if you’re working on the telescopic handler line.

For a broader understanding of how OEM documentation fits into construction equipment maintenance, read the Automotive Industry Overview and Automotive Industry Overview – though that’s more about vehicles, the principle of using original manufacturer specs applies the same way.

Can I use this to check torque specs for the 5600 attachments?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and exploded views, not torque values. You need the Bobcat 5600 service manual for torque data. But without this catalog, you can’t order the correct parts to even apply that torque.

What if I need a part number for a track for a 5600 Toolcat?

The TRACKS section near the end of Volume 8 lists the track assembly, including the chain pitch and pad width. Use that number to order from Bobcat or a dealer.
