Bobcat 843 2007 Parts Catalog – What You Get When You Buy OEM

If you’ve ever ordered a starter for a Bobcat 843 and gotten something that looked like it belonged on a riding mower, you know why I’m writing this. The Bobcat 843 2007 Parts Catalog is 362 pages of factory-correct part numbers, not aftermarket guesswork. I’ve been wrenching long enough to spot a reprinted third-party book from across the bay—cramped pixelated drawings, wrong reference numbers, missing disposition codes. This one comes from the Bobcat Company, printed in 2007, covering serial number 503724001 and above. That serial number line is critical; get it wrong and you’re ordering parts for a totally different machine.

Why a Factory Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket Copies

Aftermarket parts catalogs love to cut corners. They’ll reprint old illustrations, drop the abbreviation page, and leave out the disposition column that tells you whether a part is superseded or needs a PDR report. This catalog gives you the full set: abbreviations like NSS (Not Serviced Separately), NAP (Not Available as Parts), BTI (Bobcat Technical Information Bulletin), and the disposition codes [A] through [D] found in the remarks column. Page 2 spells it out: [A] = Use Up, [B] = Use Up on Other Applications, [C] = File PDR Report, [D] = Part Number Error. You need that column when a dealer tells you a seal kit has been changed mid-year.

Serial Number Breaks and What They Mean

Look at the bottom of the first page: S/N 503724001 & Above. That’s your starting serial. Some components have later breaks not available at time of printing—listed as “& Bel” or “& Abv” or “- (thru)”. When you flip through the binder, you’ll see illustrations with a quantity column. An “x” in that column means “As Needed,” not a fixed count. I’ve watched guys return half a gasket set because they didn’t read that. Don’t be that guy.

Abbreviations: The Language of the Catalog

Page 2 also includes translation kits and decal kits for AR (Argentina Spanish), BR (Brazil Portuguese), and JP (Japanese). If you’re importing a used Bobcat 843 from overseas, you need to know which translation kit was bundled with the machine. The catalog lists them in a dedicated sub-section. Also note the abbreviation for S/L = Service Letter, O/M = Operation & Maintenance Manual, and AHC = Advanced Hand Controls. Missing that context and you’ll order the wrong joystick harness.

Who Needs This 362-Page Manual?

You’re a home-garage mechanic who bought a Bobcat 843 to clear brush, and now you can’t find the right hydraulic filter. Or you’re running a small equipment rental yard with half a dozen 843s and need to stock common wear parts. This catalog is for you. It doesn’t walk you through engine teardown—that’s the Service Manual (S/M). It gives you the part numbers, quantities, and reference illustrations so you walk into a dealer or order online with a solid number instead of a photo of the broken piece. If you’re a beginner, read the General Information section on page 2 first. It tells you how left/right is defined (operator’s seat, forward operating position) and that some illustrations come from component suppliers—so the part may look different than expected.

FAQ – Bobcat 843 Parts Catalog

Does this catalog include torque specs for assembly?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. Torque values live in the Service Manual (S/M). Here you get part numbers, quantities, and disposition codes.

How do I interpret the serial number breaks when ordering a hydraulic pump?

Locate your machine’s full serial number (503724001 and up). Check each illustration’s serial number notation in the header. If a part shows “& Bel” (below) or “& Abv” (above) for that serial, use the parts that match your range. If a break isn’t listed at printing, it will appear as “– (thru)”. Always confirm with your dealer if the number is close to a split point. The disposition column tells you if a part is superseded—[A] means use existing stock until it runs out, then switch to the new number. If you ignore the break, you might get a pump with different mounting ears or port locations that won’t fit your 843. The manual’s page 2 warns: “Some serial number breaks are not available at time of printing.” Trust the column, not the picture.

Bottom line: if you need to order parts for a Bobcat 843 with serial 503724001 or higher, get the factory catalog. Don’t waste time decoding mismatched aftermarket lists. Access the Factory Manual now and keep a copy in the toolbox. You’ll thank yourself the next time a part doesn’t match the illustration.
