Dynapac CA 252 PD Parts Catalog – What a 403-Page Factory Document Gets You

If you’ve ever ordered a replacement part for a Dynapac CA 252 PD roller and got the wrong one because the guy behind the counter guessed at the serial number range, you know the pain. That’s why this Parts Catalog exists. 403 pages of exploded diagrams, part numbers, and ordering instructions straight from the factory in Karlskrona. No aftermarket reprints. No third-party guesswork. Just the OEM data that tells you exactly which hydraulic hose, which bearing, which filter goes where.

This isn’t a service manual. It won’t tell you how to rebuild the hydraulic pump or what torque to put on the drum mounting bolts. What it will do is let you zero in on the correct part number for every component on the CA 252 PD – from the Cummins 4BTA 3.9 Elite engine down to the rubber isolators under the operator platform. That alone saves you a return trip to the dealer and a week of downtime waiting for the right box to show up.

Parts Ordering: The 6-Point System from Dynapac (Page 4)

Page 4 of the catalog spells out exactly what you need to give when you order spares. Machine type, roller serial number, quantity, part number, denomination, and dimensions if it’s a cut-to-length item. They print that in English, Swedish, German, Italian, Spanish, and French because they know people screw this up. If you skip any of those six items, the dealer has to call you back. The catalog walks you through it so you don’t waste your time or theirs. Check the roller serial number against the valid range on page 3 – this issue (SCA252PD-1EN5) covers serial number 66320254 and up.

Exploded Diagrams and Group Numbers: How the Catalog Is Organized

Each group is a section of the machine – engine, transmission, vibration system, frame, etc. The catalog groups parts with a numeric code and a page number. You find the group, look at the exploded drawing, and read the part number straight off the callout. No flipping back and forth between a text list and a diagram. Dynapac builds these books so a mechanic with oily hands can trace a line from the picture to the part number without smudging the text. If you’re maintaining a fleet of rollers, this catalog belongs in the gangbox, not on a shelf.

Does the CA 252 PD Parts Catalog Cover the Cummins 4BTA 3.9 Elite?

Yes. The engine section lists every part for the Cummins 4BTA 3.9 Elite diesel that powers this roller. Injectors, fuel filter head, turbocharger components, gaskets, even the service parts like oil filters and air cleaner elements. You’ll find the part numbers for the alternator and starter too. If you need to order a replacement engine harness or a specific hose, the catalog has it under the appropriate group. Don’t rely on a generic Cummins parts book – use this one because it cross-references Dynapac’s own part numbers with the base engine components.

Source Validity: Why OEM Beats Aftermarket Parts Lists

Aftermarket part catalogs often combine multiple roller models into one document. They swap in generic part numbers that might fit but aren’t the original spec. That matters when you’re ordering a hydraulic pump seal that has to handle 4000 PSI – a generic O‑ring might look right but blow out in a week. This catalog comes from Dynapac themselves, printed in Sweden. Every part number traces to the original drawing.

FAQ

How do I know which part number to order?

Match the roller serial number to the catalogue issue date on page 3.

What if my serial number falls outside the range listed on page 3?

Then you need a later catalogue issue. This one (SCA252PD-1EN5) is valid from serial number 66320254 upward for the CA 252 PD with a Cummins 4BTA 3.9 Elite. If your roller is older, earlier catalogue numbers like SCA252PD-1EN4 (2001‑05) or SCA252PD-1EN3 (2000‑10) may cover it. All those issues are listed on page 3 with their valid serial number ranges. You can cross‑reference which issue matches your machine’s build date by checking the serial number plate on the frame. Don’t guess – read the plate, then pick the right catalogue.

Getting the right part on the first order keeps your roller in the dirt instead of sitting beside the parts counter. 403 pages of factory‑sourced data, organized by group, with the serial number range clearly marked. Access the Factory Manual and put it on your tablet or print out the exploded views for the job box. Either way, you stop guessing and start ordering what actually fits.
