Ingersoll Rand 226, 446, 448 Parts Catalog

Look, I’ve turned wrenches on enough equipment to know that guessing part numbers is for amateurs. If you own an Ingersoll Rand 226, 446, or 448 compact tractor, you need the actual factory parts catalog – not some third-party copy that’s been scanned and reprinted until the lines blur. This Ingersoll Rand 226, 446, 448 Parts Catalog comes straight from the factory. It’s 120 pages of OEM part numbers, exploded diagrams, paint codes, and product identification numbers. You get the original specifications, not a reprint. That’s the only way to keep your machine running without ordering the wrong part twice.

Every time I see a tech waste an hour tracking down a part number because they used an aftermarket catalog, I want to hand them this. Page 4 right there lists the factory paint colors: semi-gloss black, gloss Power Red, gloss silver. You need the correct aerosol or quart? It’s all there. The product identification numbers on page 5 tie the tractor model to the exact engine spec. If you’re working on a 226 with serial number 14071775 and after, you need a C29286 short block – not the NSS part for earlier units. That kind of detail saves your weekend.

Ingersoll Rand 226, 446, 448 Parts Catalog: What’s Inside Those 120 Pages

This isn’t a service manual. It’s a parts catalog, and it does one thing right: it tells you exactly which part to order. You get the complete exploded views for the 226, 446, and 448 models, broken down by engine, drivetrain, hydraulics, and chassis. Every part has a reference number, a part number, and a description. The paint section (page 4) gives you the exact aerosol and quart options for touch-ups. The engine identification table on page 5 cross-references the tractor model with the Onan engine model, serial number, and specification number. If you need the short block for a 448 after serial 14075830, it’s part C29287. No guessing.

You’ll also find the updated part numbers replacing superseded ones. This catalog replaces catalog 8-2752, so if you have an older printed copy, toss it. The new numbers are correct. Don’t trust a PDF from some forum – use the factory source.

Paint Codes and Part Numbers on Page 4

Paint ain’t just cosmetic. On a machine that lives outdoors, the right paint prevents rust and keeps resale value. Page 4 of the catalog lists five factory paints: black semi-gloss (spray and quart), black heat-resistant spray, power red gloss (spray and quart), and silver gloss spray. Part numbers like C28849 through C30870 are all there. If you’re restoring a 226 or a 448, you need these exact codes to match the original finish. Don’t waste money on a shade that’s close – get the factory paint.

I’ve seen guys try to use rattle-can red that’s two shades off. It looks like a toy tractor. Use the right part, and the machine looks right. That’s the difference between a proper restoration and a hack job.

Product Identification Numbers – Why They Matter

Why does a parts catalog need pages of serial number ranges? Because Ingersoll changed the engine blocks mid-production. On page 5, you’ll see three different engine configurations for the 226, 446, and 448. The 226 before serial 14071775 used an Onan B43M-GA016 with spec 3622A. After that serial, it uses the same engine model but a different spec (4183C) and a different short block (C29286 instead of NSS). Order the wrong short block and it won’t fit. The catalog tells you exactly which one to order based on your tractor’s P.I.N. (Product Identification Number). That’s a critical step most aftermarket catalogs skip.

If you skip checking the P.I.N., you’re gambling with your money. Write down your tractor’s serial number before you open the catalog. Then match it to the table on page 5. It takes two minutes and saves you a return shipping fee.

3 Key Sections That Save You from Ordering Wrong Parts

This catalog is structured to get you the right part fast. Here are the three sections you’ll use most:

• Engine identification and short block reference – page 5 ties the tractor model and serial range to the correct engine assembly. If you need a short block, the catalog tells you which part number to use (C29286 or C29287) and which ones are no longer serviced (NSS).
• Paint and finish parts – page 4 lists every factory aerosol and quart color with part numbers. No guessing the shade of Power Red.
• Exploded diagram sections – each major assembly (engine, drivetrain, hydraulics, chassis) has an exploded view with callouts. You can see how the parts go together and order exactly what you see.

These three sections cover 90% of the parts you’ll need for a rebuild or repair. Use them together, and you won’t end up with a box of wrong gaskets.

Source Authenticity: Factory Catalog vs Aftermarket Reprints

I’ve seen aftermarket catalogs that take the original PDF, rescan it at lower resolution, and sell it as their own. The part numbers get blurry, the diagrams lose detail, and sometimes the pages are out of order. This 120-page PDF is the original factory file from Ingersoll Rand. It’s the same document a dealer uses. The pages are crisp, the part numbers are legible, and the PIN ranges are accurate. If you want to order parts Automotive Industry Overview and get them right the first time, you need the genuine factory document. Don’t trust a reprint that might have the wrong specification number for your engine.

This catalog also includes the note that it replaces catalog 8-2752, so you know you’re getting the most current parts information. That’s not something you get from a third-party scan site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog cover all three models 226, 446, and 448?

Yes, it covers all three with specific PIN ranges on page 5.

What paint codes are listed?

Page 4 lists five paints: black semi-gloss (spray C28849, quart C28850), black heat-resistant (spray C28851), Power Red gloss (spray C28484, quart C28485), and silver gloss spray (C30870). Each comes with the factory part number.

Can I use this catalog to order parts from any dealer?

Absolutely. Because it’s the original factory parts catalog, the part numbers are directly recognized by Ingersoll Rand dealers and aftermarket suppliers. You give them the part number from this PDF, and they can order it. However, you must verify your tractor’s P.I.N. (Product Identification Number) on page 5 to ensure you order the correct version. Some parts like short blocks changed with serial number breaks. If you skip that step, you might order the wrong assembly. The catalog is only as good as the data you feed it – write down your serial number first.

Is this a genuine OEM manual?

Yes, it’s the official Ingersoll Rand Parts Catalog No. 8-2753, covering models 226, 446, and 448. It replaces the earlier catalog 8-2752 and is distributed by AutoRepairManuals as a digital access.
