K-D Manitou MSI 30D 1999 Parts Catalog – 470 Pages of Factory Specs

I've been turning wrenches since before some of you were born, and I can tell you right now: if you're working on a K-D Manitou MSI 30D, the aftermarket number-scrambling game will cost you billable hours. This Parts Catalog from 1999 is the actual factory-issued document – 470 pages of exploded views, part numbers, and the exact breakdown K-D Manitou used when they built these machines. The brake pedal installation is on the same page as the accelerator pedal, and both reference the same item numbers. You don't guess with brakes on a forklift – you get the right part the first time.

Parts Breakdown for the K-D Manitou MSI 30D

The catalog is organized alphabetically and numerically. Need the brake pedal installation? That's section 6BB38 – same section number as the accelerator pedal, which tells you the pedal assembly is a common unit. The cab section alone runs eight separate chapters (8AA55 through 8AB296), covering everything from mountings to side glass. Every part that matters – cylinder, carriage, engine, exhaust, electrical – has its own illustration page with a corresponding parts list. Page 3 explains the general information: you need the truck serial number, engine serial number, and mast model to order correctly. That's not optional.

Finding Brake Components Without the Headache

Brake parts are not a place for approximation. The manual lists the Brake pedal installation under 6BB38, but the actual brake system components are scattered across the hydraulic and electrical sections depending on your truck's serial number range. For MSI 30D units with serial number 139125 and below, the alternator is AP576; above that, it's AP788. That same split applies to the engine cylinder head, oil pan, and even the water pump. If you order the wrong AP part number because you used a generic cross-reference, you're ordering twice. The catalog saves you that trip.

Why the 1999 OEM Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket

I've seen aftermarket catalogs that claim to cover the MSI 30D but omit the mast-specific cylinder variations. This factory print includes three different mast lifting cylinder configurations: Mast 571580, Mast 571636 & 571638, and Mast 517580 – each with its own part number and illustration. The accumulator installation (mast 571580) is on page 10AC19. Aftermarket catalogs usually collapse these into one vague illustration. That's how you end up with a cylinder that doesn't fit the mounting bracket. The Automotive Industry Overview might tell you about manufacturing trends, but it won't tell you which seal kit fits your MSI 30D. This catalog will.

Using the Numerical Part Numbers Index

Page 4 starts the alphabetical contents and points you to the Numerical Part Numbers Index in the appendix. That index is the fastest way to find a part when you have the number from an old tag. The catalog also provides a pictorial index on the first two pages, but I typically go straight to the alphabetical listing. If you know the part is in the engine section but don't have the number, flip to ALPHABETICAL CONTENTS and look under "ENGINE, CAMSHAFT AND TIMING GEAR". There are two entries – one for S/N 139125 and below (AP568), one for 139126 and above (AP782). That split is critical. The appendix is in the back, and the page numbers for each section are printed in the TOC.

Serial Number Splits: Why They Matter

The MSI 30D went through multiple design changes during production. The fuel system changed at serial number 139126 (4AC55 vs 4AC31). The electrical primary system split at 122739, 122740 to 141696, and 141697 and above – three completely different wiring configurations. Using the wrong section means you order a part that physically won't bolt on. The catalog covers all three electrical variations. You just need to know your truck's serial number. If you don't have it, the manual tells you where to find it (frame or data plate).

FAQ – Two Questions That Get Asked Every Shift

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. You need the OEM service manual for torque values and procedures.

How do I use the Numerical Part Numbers Index?

Flip to the appendix at the back of the catalog. The index lists every part number in numeric order with the corresponding section and item number. For example, if you have a part number AP575 (engine intake manifold for S/N 139125 and below), the index shows you which page and item to reference. This is the fastest way to confirm you are ordering the correct part without flipping through every section. Write down the section number (e.g., 4AA73 for air intake system) and turn to that page. Each illustration page has a parts table with item numbers, descriptions, and quantities. Match the item number to the illustration, and you are done. The index is especially useful when the part number is stamped on the component but you can't identify the visual shape from a diagram.

If you work on these MSI 30D machines regularly, having the factory part numbers on your bench means less time on the phone with the dealer and more time finishing the job. The catalog is 470 pages, original 1999 print, scanned to searchable PDF. You can access the factory manual right now and have the brake pedal illustration open before your coffee gets cold.
