Bobcat 853 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Part Numbers & Exploded Views

You need a part for a Bobcat 853 loader. You pull the old one, write down a number scrawled in grease, call the dealer, and get told “that number’s been superseded” or “we don’t stock that, you need the whole assembly.” Then you spend an hour cross-referencing online forums full of guesses. I’ve been there. That’s why this Bobcat 853 Parts Catalog sits on the bench. It’s 316 pages of OEM factory part numbers, exploded views, and the exact names Bobcat used when they built the machine. No aftermarket reprints, no fuzzy scans. You get the same document that dealership parts counters use.

Lift Arm & Bob-Tach (Pages 26-29)

Page 26 opens the lift arm and Bob-Tach section. You see the entire assembly broken into numbered components – pins, bushings, cylinders, hoses. Every part has a Bobcat part number next to it. When you order a lift arm bushing, you order the exact part Bobcat put in at the factory. No measuring, no guesswork. The Bob-Tach section (pages 30-31) shows the quick-attach plate and its internal wedges and pins. If your 853 won’t hold a bucket tight, that section tells you which wedge part to replace.

Fuel System: Page 34

Page 34 covers the fuel system – tank, cap, fuel filter, lines, sender. The exploded diagram shows the routing of the fuel return line and the correct clamp positions. I’ve seen guys cobble a fuel line using generic hose clamps and then wonder why the machine dies on a slope. That page gives you the original part numbers for the clamps and hoses. Use them.

What the Hydraulic Control Valve Sections Tell You

Pages 58 through 65 cover the hydraulic control valve in two variants (standard and an asterisk version for later serial numbers). Each page shows the spool, springs, seals, and port relief valves. If your lift or tilt drifts, you’re looking at those seal kits. The parts catalog lists each seal by number. You don’t need to pull the valve and measure O‑rings. You read the serial number range, find the correct valve variant, and order the exact kit. That saves a day of downtime.

3 Reasons to Use OEM Bobcat Documentation

First, aftermarket parts catalogs often combine several models into one generic drawing. That drawing might use a different bolt pattern or a different hose length. Second, OEM catalogs include supersession information. When Bobcat changes a part (like upgrading a steering lever bushing), the new number appears in the catalog with a note. Third, the alphabetical index on page 2 lets you find any component by name – “CYLINDER, LIFT” sends you to page 52. No scrolling through 300 pages blind.

Don’t Skip the Alphabetical Index (Page 2)

Bobcat printed an alphabetical index that covers everything from “ADHESIVE” to “WINDSHIELD WIPER.” If you’re not sure which section contains the “BUCKET POSITIONING VALVE,” the index tells you page 66. That’s the kind of detail aftermarket PDFs omit. Use it. Circle the page numbers you need. This catalog was designed for real mechanics who want to find a part fast, not for someone trying to read a novel.

Who Needs This 853 Parts Catalog

If you own a Bobcat 853 skid-steer loader – serial number 5084 11001 & Above or 5097 11001 & Above – this is your parts bible. Home garage enthusiasts rebuilding a used machine will save money by ordering the correct pin and bushing kits instead of buying whole assemblies. Professional shop owners benefit by handing the catalog to a junior tech and saying “find the part number for the tilt cylinder seal kit.” It cuts phone time to the dealer by 70%.

Source Authenticity: OEM Factory Print

I’ve been burned by aftermarket parts PDFs that show the wrong drive chain pitch for a Bobcat 853. This catalog is a direct scan of the original Bobcat publication. The part numbers match what Bobcat printed in their own system. You won’t find “equivalent” numbers or “universal fits” here. Every number is the real deal. For a broader view of how machinery documentation supports the industry, see the Automotive Industry Overview. And for context on why OEM data matters, check the same Automotive Industry Overview – the principles apply to construction equipment too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this parts catalog include torque specs or service procedures?

No. This is a parts catalog – it lists part numbers and exploded views. For torque values and assembly steps, you need the service manual.

What serial numbers are covered?

S/N 5084 11001 & Above and S/N 5097 11001 & Above. Check your machine’s serial plate before ordering.

Can I use this to rebuild the engine on my 853?

You can identify every internal engine part – pistons, rings, gaskets, camshaft – because the catalog has sections for cylinder block (page H10), head (H6), and injection nozzles (H20). However, for assembly clearances and torque sequences you still need the factory service manual. The parts catalog gives you the part numbers; the service manual tells you how to put it together.

How many pages does the PDF have?

316 pages.
