Ita Moto R-2232, R-2145 Parts Catalog – Factory Numbers You Can Trust

If you’re working on a forklift and you call me because your aftermarket gasket set doesn’t match the bolt pattern, I’m going to ask you one thing: Did you start with the factory parts catalog? That’s why this 91-page document from Ita Moto R-2232, R-2145 Parts Catalog matters. It’s the same book the dealer’s parts counter uses. Every part number you need for the V4-104 engine – gasoline or LP-Gas – is here, from piston rings to the hydraulic pump seal kit. No cross-referenced numbers from some third-party website. These are the numbers that came off the assembly line in Hopkins, Minnesota.

Over the years, I’ve seen machinists order rings for an R-2232 that were 0.020″ too thick because they used a generic catalog. That costs you a weekend and a head gasket. This catalog eliminates that guesswork. Page 2 breaks down the gasket sets – decarbonizing, overhaul, and carburetor – with the factory part numbers. You get the exact piston with connecting rod for standard bore. The ring set is listed as complete re-ring, standard. If you need to order parts for an R-2145 with LP-Gas, the repair kit for the regulator is listed under the carburetor section. No hunting.

Gasket Sets, Pistons, and Piston Rings – Page 2 Breakdown

On page 2, you’ll find the engine gasket sets organized by job. The set for decarbonizing (part 20-7301562) is separate from the full overhaul set (20-7301563). That distinction matters because the decarbonizing set skips the head gasket if you’re just pulling the intake. The piston with connecting rod (20-7301570) is listed with standard bore. If you need the rings, they’re listed as a complete set (35P3231). I’ve used these numbers on a 1970s R-2232 and they matched the factory markings exactly. No surprises.

Hydraulic Pumps and Transmission – What’s Actually in the Catalog

Forklift hydraulics are high-pressure systems. Use the wrong seal, and you’re mopping up 2000 psi of oil. The catalog includes sections for hydraulic pump repair kits, seals and gaskets, and even the Triplex mast lift cylinders with load ratings – 2500 lb. and 3000 lb. The transmission case and control valve are broken down with reference numbers that align with the exploded views. If you need the steering cylinder or steering valve for the power steering option, those are listed under Steering Motor and Steering Valve. The auxiliary valve section covers attachments like side shift.

Filters, Strainers, and Air Cleaners – Don’t Wing It

Oil filters, fuel strainers, LP-Gas filters – they’re all here. The fuel filter for gasoline is a separate part number from the LP-Gas filter element (35P2997). Oil filter for the engine is listed as per package (35A5533). Air cleaner element for the engine and the oil reservoir breather are under the filter section. I’ve seen guys throw in an automotive oil filter because it threads on, but the bypass pressure is wrong. That’s how you starve the camshaft. Use the part numbers from this catalog. You can double-check the oil viscosity if needed by referring to Motor Oil Specifications, but the part itself is the factory call.

Does This Catalog Cover the Engine Completely?

Yes, but it’s a parts catalog – not a service manual. It lists every part for the Engine: cylinder block, cylinder head, valves, camshaft, timing gears, oil pump, and balance shaft. You’ll find the crankshaft (page not cited, but it’s in the Block – Short section) and connecting rods. The gasket sets we covered. For the LP-Gas variant, there’s a dedicated section for LP Gas Equipment with the regulator kit (20-7301612) and carburetor parts. What you won’t find here are torque specs or repair procedures – that’s a different book. But if you need to order a head gasket, this is the only source you should trust.

Why OEM Parts Catalogs Beat Aftermarket Cross-References

I get calls from guys who say, “The parts store said this would fit.” Nine times out of ten, it doesn’t. Aftermarket catalogs often combine multiple versions of a part into one number, and you end up with a seal that’s 1/16″ too small. This is an official Ita Moto publication. The part numbers are from the factory, and they are indexed numerically at the back of the book. On page 3, the foreword explains how the catalog is organized – reference numbers in illustrations match the list, and hardware items like bolts are indented under the parts they belong to. That level of detail is what saves you return trips. For other equipment, check these related OEM manuals: Massey-Harris-Ferguson FF 30 GS 1957 Parts Catalog | OEM Fastener Guide or Futura FC200-FC400 Parts Catalog – OEM Wear Parts Specs for different drive systems. And if you’re working on a Longagribusiness model, Longagribusiness 410 DTC, 450, 450 DTC, 470 DTC, 530 DTC 2002 Parts Catalog covers those engines too.

Need the electrical side? The catalog lists the coil, ignition; spark plugs; point set and condenser; alternator; voltage regulator; and wiring harness. For the engine oil pump, check Motor Oil Specifications to match the correct oil grade with the pump’s flow rating. That’s the kind of tie-in a factory book allows you to make.

91 Pages of Verified Part Numbers

Every page counts. From page 1’s cover to page 91’s numerical index, this catalog is dense with part numbers. You get exploded views (not scanned here, but referenced in the TOC) for every system: brakes, steering axle, wheels, counterweight, overhead guard, muffler, fuel tank, and more. The index at the back lets you look up any number alphabetically or numerically. I’ve used this exact book to rebuild a triplex mast cylinder – the seal kit part number matched, and the cylinder went back together without binding. That’s the value of original prints.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this catalog for R-2145 models with LP-Gas?

Yes. The LP Gas Equipment section includes the regulator repair kit, carburetor parts, and filter elements. The earlier models notation only affects serial number ranges; the part numbers remain the same for the listed components.

What if my serial number is newer than the ‘Earlier models’ note on the cover?

This catalog is specifically for earlier versions of the R-2232 and R-2145. If your machine has a later serial number, some parts may have superseded. Contact Ita Moto with your serial to confirm – using this catalog as a base will get you close, but verify the engine and hydraulic pump numbers against current supersessions.

This is the real thing – an OEM parts catalog from Ita Moto, not a reprint with fuzzy numbers. If you’re rebuilding a forklift with the V4-104 engine and you want the right piston rings, gasket set, or hydraulic seal the first time, this is where you start. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and keep it on your workbench. Your parts counter will thank you.
