Condor 47AE Parts Catalog

If you’re hunting for the right part number on a Condor 47AE aerial platform and you’re working off a third-party PDF that’s missing half the callouts, I’ve seen that job go sideways. You pull a torque hub seal kit based on a blurry image, get it bolted up, then find out the spline count doesn’t match. That’s a half-day loss and a parts return you eat the shipping on. This Condor 47AE Parts Catalog — 153 pages of factory-issued breakdowns — gives you the exact exploded views and part numbers Calavar used on the line. There’s no room for guesswork when you’re 40 feet up on a boom. This is the document you want on your tablet next to the machine.

Turret Installation: Section 47AE-60-00 Breakdown

The turret section starts on page 1 and runs through the rotation gearbox, motor assembly, hydraulic lines, and the control box. If you’re swapping a turret rotation motor, the 47AE-60-03 and 47AE-60-04 pages show the gearbox internals and motor mount bolt pattern. You’ll see the exact seal numbers for the rotation drive. I’ve had guys tell me they used a generic O-ring on the hydraulic swivel and had a leak inside three days. The catalog lists the manufacturer part numbers — you order those, not the close-enough ones. Automotive Industry Overview might cover general engineering, but this catalog covers the Condor 47AE specifically.

Carriage Installation & Torque Hub Assembly

Section 47AE-70-00 is where the rubber meets the road. The drive installation (47AE-70-02) includes the torque hub assembly (47AE-70-03) and the brake assembly (47AE-70-04). If you’re doing a brake pad replacement on a 47AE, you need the shim thickness specs and the torque value for the hub nut. The catalog doesn’t give you a torque value on every page — it’s a parts catalog, not a service manual — but the exploded view shows you the exact washer, spacer, and bearing arrangement. Pair this with the factory service manual and you’ve got the full picture. The torque hub assembly page breaks down the planetary gears and seals. One wrong snap ring and you’re pulling the wheel again.

Brake Assembly: What the Catalog Shows

The brake assembly on page 47AE-70-04 lists the caliper, disc, and actuator parts. There’s a holding valve on the boom cylinders too — section 47AE-40-08. Brake torque matters because these machines sit on slopes in the yard. If the parking brake pawl or spring is the wrong revision, the machine rolls. The catalog uses Calavar’s own part numbering, so when you call the dealer, you give them the exact number from the book. No cross-referencing from a universal parts guide that’s wrong half the time.

Hydraulic and Electric Schematics: Section 47AE-20-00

Schematics cover both hydraulic and electrical circuits. If you’re chasing a solenoid valve that won’t shift, the hydraulic schematic shows the line routing and port designations. The electric schematic (47AE-20-02) includes the symbols key (47AE-20-03). On the 47AE, the electric system uses a 24-volt DC control circuit. The parts list on the schematic page identifies relays, diodes, and connectors by Calavar number. Replace a relay with a generic NAPA part and you might lose the time delay on the boom extend function. Not worth it.

How to Use the Parts Breakdown for Ordering

The CALAVAR’S PARTS BREAKDOWN section (47AE-00-00) walks you through how to read the exploded views and how to fill out the warranty return form. It’s four pages of instruction — that tells you most people skip it. The index at the front of the 153 pages groups parts by system: boom, turret, carriage, platform, final installation. If you need the gravity lowering manifold for the lift section, go to 47AE-50-02. The part number there matches the print from the factory.

I’ve used aftermarket parts catalogs that combine five different machine models into one binder. You spend more time filtering out the wrong years than you do fixing the machine. This Condor 47AE Parts Catalog is model-specific. No cross-contamination from the V3287G or the V2648XL. You want those? Check out the TIME Condor V2648XL, V2648, V2653XL, V2653 1997 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM or the TIME Condor V2648XL, V2648, V2653XL, V2653 1997 Parts Catalog. For the bigger units, Condor V3287G, V4287G 1997 Parts Catalog – OEM Diagrams & Specs covers the 1997 models.

Source Authenticity: OEM vs Aftermarket

This is an original Calavar publication. The OCR text on page 1 shows the warranty statement, the five-year weldment coverage, and the one-year parts warranty. Aftermarket PDFs often strip out the warranty page, the revision dates, and the Calavar letterhead. You lose the context of which engineering change applied. An aftermarket vendor told me once that ‘the part is the same, just different number.’ No such thing. If Calavar superseded a brake disc thickness from 0.375” to 0.500”, the aftermarket catalog doesn’t show that. This OEM catalog does, because the page number references the engineering release.

I’ve seen a shop install a master cylinder from a 47AE platform using a seal kit from a different brand. The cylinder bore was 1.00” vs 0.875”. It worked for about ten cycles, then the seals blew out. The parts catalog would have told them the correct bore size in the boom installation section (47AE-40-03). Sloppy work. Don’t be that guy.

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications for every bolt?

No. It’s a parts catalog, not a service manual. It shows exploded views and part numbers. Torque values appear in the factory service manual. But for critical assemblies like the brake hub or torque hub nut, you should cross-reference the service manual.

Can I use this catalog to rebuild the entire boom assembly?

Yes, for parts identification. The boom section (47AE-40-00) covers master cylinder, extension cylinder, slave leveling cylinder, holding valve, and cable track. You’ll get every seal kit, cylinder rod, and fastener part number. Rebuild the boom using those numbers only.

What if I lose the instruction page on how to read the parts breakdown?

Section 47AE-00-01 is called “How to use parts Breakdown.” It’s three pages. If you skip it, you’ll misread the item reference numbers and order the wrong bolt. Read it.

Is this the same document Calavar sent to dealers?

Yes. The PDF is a direct scan of the dealer-issued parts catalog. The warranty page, revision block, and Calavar header are all present. No cuts or edits.

You own a Condor 47AE or you’re working on one for a customer. That machine needs genuine parts, not a counterfeit seal from a bin. This catalog gives you the roadmap to order those parts without the runaround. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and keep it on your shop tablet. When the brake pedal goes soft and you need the caliper piston part number, you’ll thank me you did. Automotive Industry Overview is interesting reading, but this parts catalog is the tool you actually use.
