Bobcat S250 2009 Parts Catalog

You’re tearing down a Bobcat S250 2009 Parts Catalog and need a seal kit. Grab a part number from an online forum and three days later the wrong seal shows up. Machine sits. Customer waits. That’s the kind of lost time that eats your lunch. This catalog is the factory-issued document that kills that guesswork. 538 pages of OEM part numbers, illustrations, and serial number breaks. Not a reprint, not a third-party interpretation. This is the same book the dealer’s parts counter uses. If you’re ordering anything from a hydraulic pump to a decal, this is your reference.

One wrong part costs you double.

Serial Number Breakdown: Why It Matters

Bobcat built the S250 with multiple serial number breaks. The catalog covers S/N A5GM11001 & Above and S/N A5GN11001 & Above. Page 1 shows the exact range. If you skip verifying your full serial number, you risk ordering a bracket that doesn’t fit a later production machine. I’ve seen it happen. The manual uses “& Bel” (and below), “& Abv” (and above), and “-” (thru) to mark breaks. That’s on page 2 in the general information section. Read that page before you order a single part.

What This Parts Catalog Actually Covers

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It gives you exploded-view illustrations with callouts, part numbers, quantities, and descriptions. It does not contain torque specs, repair procedures, or wiring diagrams. If you need that, get the Bobcat Service Manual. But for identifying which O-ring or spool valve goes where, this catalog is it. The illustrations are sourced from Bobcat and component suppliers. The abbreviations list on page 2 is critical: NSS means Not Serviced Separately. NAP means Not Available as Parts. Don’t bang your head trying to order a piece that isn’t sold alone.

538 Pages of OEM Part Numbers

Every page has a quantity column. Sometimes you’ll see an “x” instead of a number. That means “As Needed” – you order what you need. The remarks column holds disposition codes like [A] = Use Up, [B] = Use Up on Other Applications, [C] = File PDR Report. If you see [A], that part is being phased out. If you see [D], there’s a part number error – report it to Bobcat Parts Sales. That level of detail only comes from the factory. Aftermarket catalogs skip this. Then you get a box of parts that don’t stack up.

Use the Abbreviations and Disposition Codes

Don’t ignore the abbreviations. Sales means order from Gwinner Sales Department. BTI is Bobcat Technical Information Bulletin. S/L is Service Letter. PM is Parts Manual. If you see “W/” in the remarks, it means “With”. “W/O” is “Without”. These shortcuts save time when you’re cross-referencing between the parts catalog and the service manual. The disposition codes tell you what to do with old stock. Get familiar with them before you start ordering. Automotive Industry Overview may give you background on part numbering conventions, but this manual is where the actual work happens.

Translation Kits and Decal Kits

The catalog lists translation kits for different languages: AR for Argentina (Spanish), BR for Brazil (Portuguese), JP for Japanese. Each translation kit includes a safety manual, operators manual, and decal kit. If you are working on a machine that came from another market, the correct decal kit is in here. The same page shows the full list of abbreviations in both English and French. That’s page 2. Don’t lose that page. I keep a copy of those abbreviations taped to my toolbox.

For more factory documentation on the S250 platform, check the Bobcat S250 S300 2008 Service Manual for repair procedures, or the Bobcat S250 2006 Parts Catalog if you have an earlier machine. The Bobcat T3571, T3571L 2005 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs covers a different model but follows the same part-numbering logic. Automotive Industry Overview shows how these documents fit into the broader industry. And if you’re looking for any other Bobcat manuals, browse our Bobcat collection to see what’s available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual include wiring diagrams?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual.

How do I find the correct part number if my serial number falls in a break not listed?

The manual lists breaks as “& Bel” (and below), “& Abv” (and above), or a dash indicating a range. If your serial number isn’t explicitly listed, contact your Bobcat dealer with the full machine serial number. Some breaks weren’t available at printing – those are marked accordingly. The dealer can cross-reference the latest parts data. Do not assume your part is the same as the nearest break; Bobcat often changes components mid-production. Use the “Remarks” column for disposition codes that indicate supersession. If a part has a [C] code, the dealer needs to file a report. That’s a red flag that the number may have changed.
