Hein-Werner C-14B Parts Catalog

You are tearing down a C-14B backhoe and you need the right bucket tooth, or a replacement shank for the 25-inch series. You pull a part number off the old piece, order it from a generic supplier, and it shows up wrong – different thread pitch, wrong bore size. Now the machine sits while you wait for the return. That is exactly why you need the Hein-Werner C-14B Parts Catalog. This is not a service manual with repair steps. It is the factory-issued parts book – 118 pages of exploded diagrams and OEM part numbers that tell you exactly what Hein-Werner used at the factory. Every pin, bushing, cylinder, and bracket is listed with the original manufacturer’s number. No guessing. No cross-referencing aftermarket tables that might be off.

Bucket Parts Breakdown: Identifying the Right Teeth and Cutters

Page 2 of the catalog covers the bucket attachment for the C-14B. You get the full parts list for the 25-inch series: shank (part 401157), point (401160), and pin (401158). It also lists both impact-resistant (blue) and abrasion-resistant (red) teeth options – part 452762 for abrasion. The diagram shows left and right side cutters, hinge plates, and the boss assembly. If you need to replace a frost point, the manual even notes that parts bought before March 31, 1978 use the ‘A’ suffix; after that date use ‘B’. That kind of detail saves you ordering the wrong tooth for an older machine. Every item is keyed to the exploded view, so you can spot exactly which bolt (item 4: 3/4-16 x 3/4 Gr. 5) goes where.

Dipstick and Linkage Assembly: What the Diagram Shows

Page 3-00 covers the dipstick and linkage – not just the dipstick itself, but the full mounting bracket, pin retainers, and bell crank assemblies. You get part numbers for both long (13’1″) and short (11’5″) dipsticks, plus the housing with bushings. The diagram shows the left-hand and right-hand bell cranks (items 19 and 24) and the bucket cylinder assembly (item 25: 040933). If you need shims for the bushing fit, the catalog lists 7-gauge, 12-gauge, and 18-gauge shims as required items. This is the kind of detail you do not get from a generic parts list – factory-specified clearance adjustments and correct grease fitting part numbers (item 20: 400385).

Boom Assembly Parts: Pin Sizes and Cylinder Numbers

The boom assembly on page 4-00 gives you the boom foot pin (item 9: 210320) with bushing (item 10: 220068), lockwashers, and bolts (5/8-18 x 1 3/4 Gr. 5). It lists the left and right boom cylinders with tubes (items 16 and 17: 040919 and 040920). You also get the boom point pin (item 13: 210270), locknut (item 20: 401386), and the dipstick cylinder (item 23: 040932). Each pin has a specific part number – not a generic ‘pin, boom’ – so when you order a replacement, you get the exact hardened pin with the correct head shape and hole location. The catalog also shows the boom base assembly (item 4: 100909) and retainer plate (item 21: 210304). If you are rebuilding a boom, this page alone is worth the price of the manual.

How This Parts Catalog Differs from a Service Manual

This is a parts catalog, not a repair manual. It does not walk you through disassembly or give torque specs for bolts. It tells you what part number goes where so you can order factory-correct components. The note on page 1 says explicitly: ‘The parts pages are intended for use in ordering parts, and therefore do not always depict the correct way to assemble components.’ If you need overhaul procedures, you want the actual service manual. But if you need to source a left-hand hinge plate or a specific bushing for your C-14B, this catalog is the only reliable source. Aftermarket catalogs often skip minor revisions or use superseded numbers. Hein-Werner factory documentation lists the exact part as built. Pair this catalog with the service manual for complete coverage.

Why Factory Parts Numbers Matter Over Aftermarket Cross-References

I have been wrenching for 28 years. When a parts counter guy hands you a ‘universal’ bucket tooth that might fit, you are rolling the dice. The tooth profile might be off by 1/16th of an inch and cause premature wear on the shank. With this catalog, you get the OEM number – say 450602 for the 27-inch series shank, or 150670 for an alternate shank. You order that exact number from a Hein-Werner dealer or a supplier that stocks OEM parts. The cross-reference from aftermarket brands may work, but they change over time. This catalog is the master reference. It is also useful for verifying that the part you have in hand is original or has been superseded. For context on why factory documentation matters in the broader Automotive Industry Overview, consider that equipment downtime costs money. Ordering the wrong part costs double. For more on the importance of original equipment documentation, see Automotive Industry Overview.

Does this parts catalog cover all C-14B serial numbers?

The catalog is annotated with effective dates and serial number breaks. Page 2 shows an effective serial number of 14-2900 as of July 10, 1978. If your machine is earlier or later, some part revisions may differ. Check the effective date range on each page.

Can I use this catalog to order parts for a C-10 model?

This catalog is specific to the C-14B. For the C-10 series, see the Hein-Werner C10, C10HD, C12 Parts Catalog. Using the wrong parts book will give misleading part numbers.

What format is the manual in?

Digital PDF, 118 pages, scanned from the original factory print. Diagrams are clear and fully legible. You can zoom to see part numbers.

Are hydraulic cylinder part numbers included?

Yes. Page 3 lists the bucket cylinder assembly (040933) and page 4 lists the boom cylinders with tubes (040919 and 040920). The catalog includes all cylinder assemblies and their internal components in later pages.

You have a C-14B sitting in the yard, and you want to get it back to work without the headache of wrong parts. That is what this catalog is for – a factory index of every bolt, bushing, and tooth that Hein-Werner put into the machine. Access the Factory Manual now and keep it in your shop tablet. When the next order comes in, you will have the exact number ready.
