Manitou MLT 630, MLT 634, MLT 731, MT 732, MT 932 2004 Parts Catalog

You’re hunting for the right part number, you’ve got a machine torn down, and your supplier asks for the OEM reference. That’s when you need the real thing – not a third-party reprint with wrong illustrations or missing supersessions. This is the Manitou MLT 630, MLT 634, MLT 731, MT 732, MT 932 2004 Parts Catalog – a factory-issued 1159-page document that covers every nut, seal, hose, and bracket for these telehandler and skid-steer models. I’ve seen techs order the wrong hydraulic filter because they used an aftermarket catalog. This book stops that dead.

Filters and Belts: Chapter Coverage

Turn to the “Filters and Belts” section (listed as FILTRES ET COURROIES / FILTER UND KEILRIEMENS / FILTROS Y CORREAS / FILTERS AND BELTS / FILTROS E CINGHIA in the index). It’s not a generic chart – it’s model-specific cross-references for oil filters, air filters, fuel filters, and all drive belts. For example, the MLT 634 Turbo LSU uses a different belt tensioner than the MT 932. The part numbers are there, with the exact revision code so you don’t waste money on the wrong piece. Need the charge pressure for the MLT 731? Not listed here – this is a Parts Catalog, not a service manual – but the filter part numbers are spot-on.

Numerical Index: How to Use It

Page 2 shows the INDEX NUMERIQUE / NUMERICAL INDEX. This is the fastest way to find a part if you already have a number. Say you’ve got an old bolt marked “AX 2532”. Cross-reference it in the numerical index and it tells you which diagram plate to look at. The catalog uses a grid system (e.g., “2 AA 94”, “3 AA 157”) that maps directly to the exploded views. Ignore the French headers – the numbers are universal. I’ve used this method to pull a steering cylinder seal kit off the shelf inside ten minutes.

Parts Ordering: What the Manual Tells You

The IMPORTANT section on page 3 lays out the ordering rules. You must provide the part number, full description, quantity, machine type, serial number, and component ID (mast, boom, cab, engine, etc.). Miss any of that and your order gets delayed. The catalog also marks optional parts with a symbol (look for the “:” notation). Pay attention: some assemblies shown are not standard on every machine. For a 2004 MT 732, you might need the boom cylinder seal kit – that’s cataloged under the boom section, not the engine section. This 1159-page document has it all.

Interpreting the Diagrams and Nomenclature

Each text page carries a number at the top left and a “+” at the bottom if the nomenclature continues. The final page for an assembly lacks the “+”. Quantity columns may show an “X” – that means order as needed. The diagrams are line drawings with reference balloons keyed to the parts list. When you’re looking up the MLT 630-120 LSU fuel injector line, the drawing will show the routing and the correct clamps. Don’t rely on memory; the factory engineers drew these for a reason.

Why This Factory Parts Catalog Matters

Five hundred bucks on the wrong internal hydraulic kit? I’ve seen it happen. This catalog is direct from Manitou’s BP 249 plant in Ancenis, France – the original OEM. It’s not a scanned photocopy with missing pages. The 2004 edition includes updates (IC 385 from 05/2003 and IC 425 from 11/2004). Aftermarket catalogs often skip supersession history. This one tracks every revision. If you’re serious about keeping an MLT 731 or MT 932 running, you need the factory source. For more Manitou references, check the Manitou MLT Series Parts Catalog or the Manitou MLT Series Parts Catalog 2010 for newer machines. The Manitou MLT Series 2007 Parts Catalog covers a different year range. And if you’re diagnosing engine issues, read this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for background on the Perkins and Kubota power plants used in these models.

Does this catalog cover the MLT 731 Turbo?

Yes. Listed under series B-E2. Includes both Turbo and Turbo LSU variants.

How do I find a specific part number for the MT 932 steering cylinder?

Start with the NUMERICAL INDEX on the last pages – it lists every part number in ascending order. Find “AX” prefix numbers for the steering group. Then go to the indicated diagram plate (e.g., 15 AA 88). The nomenclature page will show the part description, quantity, and any supersession notes. If the cylinder is shared with the MLT 634, that will be noted in the “For” column. Always double-check the serial number range printed at the top of the plate – some revisions changed the seal pack after a certain date.

Bottom line: if you’re ordering parts for any of these Manitou machines and you don’t have this OEM document, you’re working blind. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your shop tablet – it’ll save you the cost of a misordered part the first time you use it.
