Bobcat L-700 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever tried ordering a replacement hydraulic fitting or a steering lever for an old L-700 without a parts diagram, you know the drill: cross-reference three aftermarket catalogs, call four dealers, and still end up with the wrong bushing. That’s time you don’t bill. This 51-page Bobcat L-700 Parts Catalog is the factory issue – third edition, printed by Oakes Manufacturing – and it’s the only document that lines up every part number with the exact exploded view. No reprints, no generic “fits similar” nonsense. You get the same information a dealership parts counter pulls up.

What This Parts Catalog Actually Covers

The manual splits into three sections: Loader Parts (pages 4–24), Engine Parts (pages 25–40), and Attachments (pages 41–42). Within Loader Parts you’ll find the Axle Assembly (page 10), the Electrical system (page 20), the Engine and attaching parts (page 22), the Hydraulic Circuitry (3 Spool Valve) on page 12, Hydrostatic Circuitry on page 14, Hydrostatic Pump on page 16, Idler Assembly, Lift Arm Assembly, Main Frame, Rims and Tires, and Steering Controls. Need a part number for the carburetor? That’s under Engine Parts – Carburetor group page 38. Every diagram is numbered, and the quantity column tells you exactly how many you need. No guesswork.

Why You Need the Factory Specs – Not Aftermarket Copies

I’ve seen third-party catalogs that transpose a hydraulic line and have you ordering a 3/8-inch fitting where a 1/2-inch goes. On a loader that runs 2,500 psi, that mistake costs seals and downtime. This manual comes straight from Oakes Manufacturing. The part numbers match the original production runs. If you’re rebuilding a Hydrostatic Pump or swapping out the Governor, Starter, Alternator, Blower Housing Group (page 26), you want the OEM numbers. Aftermarket books will leave you chasing supersessions that don’t fit. Save yourself the headache. Get the real document.

Hydraulic Circuitry and Hydrostatic Pump – Where Most Mistakes Happen

The 3 Spool Valve assembly in the Hydraulic Circuitry section (page 12) is the heart of the loader’s lift and tilt. One wrong spool or worn O-ring, and you’ll have drift. The Hydrostatic Pump page 16 shows every seal and bearing. I’ve had guys rebuild these pumps using generic seal kits only to find the thrust washer thickness is off by 0.010 inch. The factory parts catalog gives you the exact dimensions and part numbers so you order the correct kit the first time. Same for the Hydrostatic Circuitry page 14 – if the charge pressure is off, you’re hunting for a relief valve that shouldn’t be there. The diagram shows it.

Engine Parts Breakdown – Carburetor to Ignition

The Engine Parts section covers the Cylinder Block Group (page 32), Fuel System Group (page 36), Gear Cover, Oil Base, Oil Pump Group (page 30), and Ignition Group (page 35). If you’re pulling the starter (page 40) or chasing a no‑start, the Ignition Group shows the points, condenser, and coil routing. Every fastener group is listed – you won’t be hunting for a missing bolt. The numerical index at the back (pages 43–46) lets you look up any part number and find the page and figure reference. That’s how a real shop works.

Who Should Buy This Manual?

If you own a Bobcat L-700 Rounder Hydrostatic Loader and do your own repairs – or if you run a shop that sees these machines – this catalog saves you from ordering blind. DIY mechanics: you’ll have the exact part numbers to hand to the parts store. Home garage enthusiasts: you can see how the Lift Arm Assembly goes together before you weld a crack. Beginners: the diagrams are clear, but you still need to read the quantities – don’t assume “1” means “one set.” It means one piece unless the illustration notes otherwise.

For background on why factory specs matter across the Automotive Industry Overview, read the Wikipedia article – the same principle applies to off‑road equipment. Automotive Industry Overview confirms that OEM documentation reduces failure rates.

Does this manual include torque specs for assembly?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and exploded views. For torque values, you need the factory service manual – we carry those separately.

Can I use this to rebuild the engine completely?

The Engine Parts section (pages 25–40) shows every internal component from the Cylinder Block Group to the Carburetor. You can order the correct pistons, rings, gaskets, and seals. But assembly procedures and clearances are not here – you’ll need a service manual for that. The parts catalog gives you the numbers; the service manual tells you how to put them together.

Does it cover the grapple and bucket attachments?

Yes. The Attachments section (pages 41–42) includes the Buckets & Pallet Fork and the Grapple. Each attachment has its own exploded diagram with part numbers. If you need a bucket tooth or a grapple tine, the number is right there.

Is this a PDF or a printed book?

Digital PDF. Access it after purchase – you can print specific pages for your toolbox. The file is 51 pages, searchable, and contains the numerical index for quick lookup. No waiting for shipping.
