Calavar 60N 1983 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Part Numbers and Exploded Views

If you’re rebuilding a Calavar 60N and you’re tired of chasing wrong parts off some generic aftermarket list, I get it. That’s a 6-ton aerial lift with a 60-foot boom – not something you guess at. This Parts Catalog is the original 1983 print run. 24 pages. No reprints, no digital copy of a copy. You get the same drawings the Calavar factory used to order parts. I’ve torqued enough cylinder heads to know that one wrong Zerk fitting or seal can cost you a day of R&R. This manual fixes that. It shows you every part by figure – from the Final Assembly on page 3 to the Boom Assembly on page 2. You need the right part number for the slave leveling cylinder? It’s in there. Need the torque drive assembly breakdown? Figure 4. This is the kind of documentation I keep on the bench, not in a drawer.

Calavar 60N 1983 Parts Catalog – What It Covers

The catalog opens with the Illustrated Parts Index all the way through page 2. You’ll find Figure 1: Final Assembly (page 3) with a detailed parts list – every capscrew, lockwasher, and pin. Then Figure 2 gives you the safety decal and placard locations. That’s not optional – if you’re replacing decals for an OSHA inspection, you need those positions correct. The catalog covers both the Gasoline Engine carriage (Figure 3) and a separate Figure 3A for the Diesel Engine option. There’s even a dedicated Torque Drive Assembly (Figure 4) and a Wheel Drive Valve Assembly (Figure 4A). So if you’re chasing a leak in the drive circuit, you get the valve breakdown. The boom section starts at Figure 35A with the Boom Assembly for the 60N, plus slave leveling cylinder and topping cylinder breakdowns. That’s the real meat.

Engine Options: Gasoline vs. Diesel Carriage Assemblies

Two separate figures for the carriage – Figure 3 for gas, Figure 3A for diesel. That matters because the fuel tank, muffler, and air cleaner installations are different. Look at Figure 18 and 18A – muffler routing changes with the engine. If you’re swapping an engine or rebuilding a unit, you need the correct parts list. The catalog also includes an Electric Motor Pump Assembly for Emergency Power (Figure 20) and a Diesel Engine-Pump Assembly (Option) later. So if your 60N has the optional diesel pump, you’re covered. Don’t try to use a gas parts list on a diesel chassis – the mounts and hydraulic connections are different. This catalog saves you that headache.

Where Are the Torque Specs in This Catalog?

Fair question. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It won’t list torque values for every bolt. But what it will do is give you the exact part number for the torque drive assembly – Figure 4. If you need the wheel drive valve assembly, Figure 4A has it. And if you’re rebuilding the front hub, Figure 5 shows the hub assembly. The torque drive itself is a specific assembly with seals and bearings. You can look up the parts, then order the right stuff. For actual torque specs, you want the Calavar 60N service manual. But for part numbers, this is your only source of truth. OEM only.

3 Critical Sections for Boom Maintenance

First: Figure 35A Boom Assembly, 60N. That’s the main boom with all pivot pins and cylinder mounts. Second: Slave Leveling Cylinder Assembly – if your platform won’t stay level, you need that cylinder breakdown. Third: Topping Cylinder Parts Breakdown – controls the boom angle. Each of these sections has a clean illustration with callout numbers and the original Calavar part numbers. No generic cross-references. You get the factory part number, period. Combine that with the platform assembly and the 180° rotary actuator option, and you can rebuild the entire upper structure.

Get the Right Valve and Cylinder Parts

Hydraulic leaks on a 60N usually come from the wheel drive valve or the cylinders. This catalog gives you the Wheel Drive Valve Assembly (Figure 4A) and the Boom Extension Cylinder Assembly for the 60N. The toppling cylinder? There’s a separate breakdown. The LP Tank option and Spark Arrestor option are also listed. Don’t assume aftermarket parts fit – many of these Calavar parts are unique to the 60N platform. If you need the rotary coupling or the electric slip-ring (Figure 9, 9B), they’re in here. The purpose of this manual is simple: get the right part the first time. No returns, no down time waiting for the wrong box to show up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this manual suitable for a complete restoration of a 60N?

Yes, for parts identification. It does not contain repair procedures or torque specs.

Does the catalog include parts for the diesel engine option?

Yes. Figure 3A covers the Carriage Assembly for the Diesel Engine option. Additionally, the catalog includes separate figures for the Diesel Engine-Pump Assembly (Option), muffler installation for diesel (Figure 18A), and the LP Tank option if equipped. The diesel carriage uses different mounting brackets, radiator, and fuel system components than the gasoline version. If you are rebuilding a diesel 60N, this catalog has every part number you need – from the engine mounts to the hydraulic pump coupling. The optional spark arrestor and muffler are also covered. Make sure you order the correct variant; the parts list is figure-specific.
