Bobcat S250 2009 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs

If you have ever ordered a part for a Bobcat S250 2009 Parts Catalog skid-steer from an aftermarket list and ended up with the wrong spindle, wrong seal, or a bracket that does not bolt up, you know the pain. I do. 23 years in the shop, and I have seen more returned parts than most dealers see in a decade. This catalog is the factory-issued part number bible that Bobcat dealers pull from. 538 pages. No guessing. No third-party repackaging. Just the line drawings, exploded views, and the exact part numbers that match your machine’s serial number break.

What You Get with 538 Pages of OEM Data

This is a parts manual, not a service manual. That means every page is dedicated to one thing: getting you the right part number the first time. The catalog covers the S250 skid-steer loader with serial numbers A5GM11001 and above, and A5GN11001 and above. It includes the Bobcat Interlock Control System (BICS) equipped machines. Inside you will find exploded-view illustrations for every major assembly – drive train, hydraulic system, ROPS, cab, engine mount, cooling package. Each illustration has a callout list with the part number, description, and quantity. The remarks column includes disposition codes like [A] for Use Up, [B] for Use On Other Applications, and [C] for File PDR Report. That level of detail keeps your parts order from turning into an expensive paperweight.

Why Serial Numbers Matter – And How This Manual Handles Them

I cannot tell you how many techs order by model year only and get burned. Bobcat uses serial number breaks because mid-year engineering changes happen. This catalog lists serial number breaks explicitly: “& Bel”, “& Abv”, or “- (thru)”. It also notes that some serial number breaks may not be available at time of printing – those are flagged so you know to verify with your dealer before ordering. The manual uses LH and RH from the operator’s seat in forward operating position. That saves arguments when you call parts counter. If you work on multiple S250 units, bookmark the serial number page (page 1) before you flip to anything else. That habit alone cuts return rates in half.

Abbreviations Decoded: From NSS to BTI

Parts manuals speak their own language. This one includes a full abbreviation table: NSS (Not Serviced Separately), NAP (Not Available as Parts), BTI (Bobcat Technical Information Bulletin), S/L (Service Letter), AHC (Advanced Hand Controls), ACS (Advanced Control System), SJC (Selectable Joystick Controls). If you see “NSS” in the remarks column, that part is only available as part of a larger assembly – do not try to order it alone. The manual also includes translation kits for international markets (AR, BR, JP) and decal kits. All that is on pages 2 and 3. Take five minutes to read those pages before you pull a part number.

Audience Fit: Who Needs This Parts Catalog?

This catalog is for anyone who owns or maintains a Bobcat S250 from 2009 production. That includes independent repair shops, rental yards, road contractors, and homeowners who run a skid-steer for clearing and grading. If you are a DIY mechanic with moderate mechanical skill, this manual will keep you from ordering a $400 hydraulic motor that does not fit because you used a generic cross-reference. If you are a professional shop, this catalog pays for itself on the first job where you avoid a three-day hold for the wrong part. Pair it with the Bobcat S250 S300 2008 Service Manual”>Bobcat S250 S300 2008 Service Manual for repair procedures, and you have a complete workbench setup.

Source Validity: OEM vs Aftermarket Documentation

Aftermarket parts catalogs are compiled from third-party data that gets stale fast. They often miss serial number breaks, combine illustrations from different models, or list superceded parts without notation. This is a factory-print PDF direct from Bobcat Company – the same document their parts department used in 2009. The OEM logo and copyright are on the cover. I have seen too many jobs held up by a mislabeled aftermarket PDF that listed the wrong solenoid for a BICS system. Do not gamble a $20 part on a $50,000 machine. For a broader look at how the Automotive Industry Overview treats OEM documentation, the factory source is the only standard. Another perspective from the Automotive Industry Overview confirms that manufacturers control part numbering for a reason – accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this Parts Catalog differ from a Service Manual?

This catalog lists part numbers and illustrations – not repair steps. You use it to order the correct components.

Can I use this catalog to look up torque specs or fluid capacities?

No. This manual focuses exclusively on part identification. Torque values, fluid capacities, and diagnostic procedures are in the service manual. The Parts Catalog gives you the exploded views and part numbers for every nut, seal, hose, and bracket. It also includes the disposition codes that tell you if a part has been superceded, discontinued, or replaced by a newer revision. If you need to know the tightening sequence for the axle flange bolts, you need the service manual. But if you need to figure out whether the hydraulic filter you just dropped is a 6597284 or a 6685397, this catalog is what you crack open. The abbreviation table alone saves you from ordering a part that is “NSS” – Not Serviced Separately – which means you would have to buy the whole pump assembly. I have seen techs waste a full morning because they did not check that code. This catalog prevents that.

If you are tired of returning wrong parts and want factory data that matches your machine’s actual serial number break, get the OEM document. Access the Factory Manual.
