Manitou M 26-2, M 26-4, M 30-2, M 30-4, M 40-2 2014 Parts Catalog

I’ve seen too many jobs stall because a guy ordered the wrong seal kit or a master cylinder that doesn’t match the serial number break. You pull a transmission on a Manitou M 26-2, M 26-4, M 30-2, M 30-4, M 40-2 and need the correct part number before the machine sits on stands for a week. Aftermarket parts catalogs? They mix up revisions, leave out supersession notes, and sometimes list parts that never came on a North American machine. That’s why you need the real 2014 factory Parts Catalog – 621 pages of nothing but OEM part numbers, exploded views, and engineering codes. No filler.

What the Engine and Transmission Sections Cover

Flip to the Moteur index and you get every component from the cylinder head gasket to the injector pump. The catalog splits into engine groups AP3244 through AP3269, each with its own exploded plate. Need the turbocharger mounting kit for a M 30-2 with the Perkins? The plate number and part reference are there. Under Transmission, the sections PG_BOITE_264389 and PG_BOITE_264390 cover the 4-speed and hydrostatic setups. The drive shaft sub-sections (PDG_CARDAN_295114, 295117, 301500) list u-joints, yokes, and bearing kits with factory dimensions. Don’t rely on a generic cross-reference – the OEM plate tells you the exact flange bolt circle.

Axle Assembly Breakdowns

The Axle chapters are split front and rear. For front axles you’ve got PDG_ESSIEU_AV_302510 and 302511, covering the steering knuckles, kingpins, and hub seals. Rear axles fall under PG_ESSIEU_AR289504 and PG_ESSIEU_AR247290 with separate part numbers for the differential carrier and planetaries. If you’re rebuilding a wheel end on a M 40-2 and the aftermarket catalog says a seal fits both axles, I’d verify it against the plate number AX8068 or AX8067 before you button it up. One wrong seal and you’re pulling the hub again.

3 Reasons to Use OEM Parts Documentation

First, the supersession chain. Manitou updates parts over the production run – a 2014 model might have a different hydraulic pump than a 2012. The catalog marks serial number breaks clearly. Second, the exploded view eliminates guesswork. You see the washer, snap ring, and spacer order without disassembling a live unit. Third, the ordering codes in the catalog match the manufacturer’s warehouse system. A dealer can pull your order from the part number alone. That means less downtime waiting for the wrong box to arrive.

How to Use the Index and Plate Numbers

Every page carries a plate number (like 4AA8005 or 10CE8039) and a symbol legend. The plus sign (+) at the bottom of a page means the parts list continues on the next plate. The “X” in the quantity column means the part is used as needed – stock extras. When you call a supplier, give them the machine type and serial number plus the plate reference. The catalog includes a front cover with Manitou Americas contact info in West Bend, Wisconsin – that’s the real source. If you need background on how diesel injection systems work, check this Wikipedia article on diesel engines. But for part numbers, stick to the factory book.

Does This Parts Catalog Cover the M 50-2 Models?

Yes. The cover lists M 50-2/4 + H ST3B alongside the M 26 through M 40 models. That means the same catalog includes the 50-class machines with both 4-speed and hydrostatic transmissions. So if you’re working on a bigger Manitou, the engine and axle sections still apply. The part numbers differ, but the exploded view format is identical.

Getting the Right Part for Your Serial Number

Manitou uses a from/to symbol system on every plate. You’ll see an arrow and a date or machine serial range. If your M 30-4 was built after June 2014, double-check the plate’s “à partir de” mark. The catalog includes a full index of plate numbers at the front – 647483 is the document ID. Use it to jump straight to the section you need. For related manuals, look at MANITOU M Series Parts Catalog 2012 for older revisions, or K-D Manitou MVT 1230L MVT1230LC Parts Catalog – 264 Pages if you’re on the smaller telehandler. Another option is K-D Manitou K5705, K5797, K5755, K1479, K1787 1991 Parts Catalog for classic machines.

Does the catalog include torque specs for bolts?

It’s a parts catalog, not a service manual. You get part numbers and exploded views, not torque values. Pair it with the factory repair manual for assembly specs.

Can I order parts directly from this catalog?

Yes. Every part has an OEM number. Take that number to a Manitou dealer or authorized parts distributor. The catalog also lists the machine type and component ID required for ordering – see the WICHTIG section for the German instructions, but the English column works the same way. Give them the part number, quantity, machine serial, and component ID (mast, engine, axle). That’s all they need to pull the part.

If you’re rebuilding a transmission or replacing a hydraulic pump on a Manitou, having the 2014 factory parts catalog saves you from buying the wrong seal kit or chasing a part that doesn’t exist. This isn’t a third-party compilation – it’s the same PDF Manitou dealers use. We cover the full fleet: M 26-2, M 26-4, M 30-2, M 30-4, M 40-2, and M 50-2/4.
