Manitou MLT 731 Parts Catalog

You’ve got a Manitou MLT 731 Parts Catalog in your hands, and that’s exactly what you need when a customer’s machine is down and you’re staring at a broken cab switch or a leaking A/C line. Aftermarket part lists are a gamble – blurred illustrations, missing revision codes, part numbers that don’t cross. This is the factory document. 124 pages of exploded diagrams and genuine part numbers straight from Manitou BF in Ancenis, France. No translations lost in the mail, no ‘compatible with’ nonsense. You get the OEM number, the exact description, and the serial range for your machine.

Cab with Air-Conditioning: 7 Sub-Assemblies

The catalog breaks down the driver cab into specific assemblies for machines with A/C. You’ll find entries for CAB WITH AIR-CONDITIONING (DETAILS) with reference numbers 8AB972, 8AB973, 8AB974 for model 273981MOD, and 8AB983, 8AB984 for 273985MOD. Each drawing shows every bolt, seal, and duct. If you need the compartment section or the heater-A/C unit itself, the section listing under _HEATER – AIR CONDITIONING gives you the exact part numbers for the compressor, evaporator, and controls. Page 2 of the catalog includes the ordering procedure and symbol legend – pay attention to the ‘from’ and ‘up to’ symbols so you don’t order a part that doesn’t fit your production date.

Electricity Section: Switches and Compartments

Under ELECTRICITY, the SWITCH group lists parts like 8AD220 and 8AD247. These are specific to the cab with A/C and have their own model ranges. If you’re chasing an electrical gremlin in the dash or a faulty switch, this section gives you the OEM reference. Don’t trust generic electrical parts – track the original number from this catalog and order exactly that. For the A/C compartment, the same reference 8AD247 appears under multiple sections, which means it’s a shared component. Cross-referencing is built into the structure.

Heater and Air Conditioning: Parts Breakdown

The _HEATER – AIR CONDITIONING subsection covers everything from the blower motor to the refrigerant lines. Again, you’ll see 8AD220 and 8AD247, but also 8AB984 for the later model. The catalog uses exploded views that show how each piece fits together – a huge help when you’re reassembling a cab after replacing the heater core. If you’ve ever fought with a non-OEM A/C hose that’s 10mm too short, you’ll appreciate having the factory drawing in front of you.

Fittings and Sound Proofing: What’s Included

Under _FITTINGS – SOUND PROOFING, the catalog lists all the insulation pads, clips, and trim pieces for the cab. Reference numbers 8AB970 through 8AB982 cover both 273981MOD and 273985MOD. These are the parts that get lost or forgotten during a cab rebuild. The catalog calls out each one with a description and the exact quantity – no guessing how many sound deadening pads you need.

124 Pages of Genuine Part Numbers

One catalog. 124 pages. That’s all. It’s a parts catalog, not a service manual – you won’t find torque specs or repair procedures here. What you get is the factory-approved part listing that dealers use. Every page is a clean scan of the original French/English/German/Spanish/Italian document. To order parts correctly, you need the machine serial number and the component ID (cab, engine, transmission). The catalog tells you which reference applies based on those numbers.

If you’re working on an older MLT and need earlier model info, check the Manitou MLT Series Parts Catalog for broader coverage. For a specific year range, the Manitou MLT Series Parts Catalog 2010 and Manitou MLT Series 2007 Parts Catalog can fill in gaps for production changes. Outside the catalog, if you want to understand the engine systems behind these parts, this Wikipedia article on diesel engines gives you the basics.
