Manitou MRT1432, M SERIES E2 Parts Catalog

I’ve been turning wrenches since before some of you were born. 28 years as an ASE Master Tech, and I’ve learned one thing: if you don’t have the right part number, you’re wasting time. This Manitou MRT1432, M SERIES E2 Parts Catalog is the only way to get OEM numbers for your telehandler. None of those generic aftermarket books that guess at the bolt size. This is 628 pages of factory data, direct from Manitou North America in Waco, Texas. You’ve landed on the Manitou MRT1432 Parts Catalog page. This is the real deal.

Over the years I’ve seen guys use a bolt from the junk drawer on a stabilizer leg. Then the load drops. That’s why you need the exact part called out in this manual. The exploded drawings show you every washer, every clip, every seal. No guesswork. The catalog covers the entire machine: from the brake circuit (page 117 in the alphabetical index) to the Perkins diesel engine with its 50+ sub-assemblies. For safety guidelines, grab the Manitou MRT1432 386 Series Operators Manual – Section: General Safety Standards. That’s where you read about lockout procedures. This parts catalog is for ordering, not for repair sequencing. For crane operation, you want the Manitou MRT1432 Crane Operation Manual. Now let me walk you through what this 628-page beast actually contains.

628 Pages of Detailed Exploded Views

If the part count makes your head spin, that’s fine. Every major assembly is broken out into its own section. Take the “Bracci” (boom) section. You’ve got outer boom (item 40), inner boom (42), secondary boom (41), plus all the chain guides, wear pads, and hydraulic lines. Each sub-section like “Martin.sollevam.” (lift cylinder) gives you an exploded view with callouts. The part numbers are printed right next to the illustration. No flipping back and forth to a parts list. That saves me about ten minutes per part lookup. Read this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for theory, but for actual parts, use the catalog.

Why Serial Number Ranges Matter for Axle Parts

Look at the alphabetical contents on page 3. You’ll see entries like “AXLE HOUSING, FRONT (AXLE Serial No. B–ITA – 754360 & below) – 500” and then “500A” for the next range. That’s because Manitou made running changes. The front axle housing changed at serial 754361, then again at 758669. If you order parts for the wrong range, the bolt holes won’t line up. This catalog gives you the exact breakdown by serial number. Write down your axle serial before you order. For more on diesel engine basics, check this Wikipedia article on diesel engines.

How to Navigate the Alphabetical and Numerical Index

The manual starts with pictorial contents, then alphabetical contents, then a numerical index. That’s three ways in. If you know the part description (like “fuel filter”), hit the alphabetical index. If you have a part number from an old order, go straight to the numerical index. Each entry gives you a page number. The index covers everything from air intake system to the turbo kit. This is not a book you read cover to cover. It’s a lookup tool. Learn to use the index before you start digging into the engine. You’ll save yourself an hour of thumbing through.

Engine Overhaul Section: Motore Perkins Components

The Perkins engine section alone takes up about 50 pages. Under “Motore Perkins” you’ll find exploded views of the cylinder head, pistons, connecting rods, oil pump, water pump, injection pump, turbo, and all the gaskets. Each sub-section like “Testata” (cylinder head) has its own illustration with part numbers for valves, springs, seals. If you’re rebuilding the top end, you need this catalog to order the correct head gasket set. Don’t trust aftermarket gasket sets that claim to fit multiple engine serial numbers. Use the OEM number from this book.

Manitou MRT1432 M SERIES E2 Parts Catalog vs. Repair Manual: When to Use Each

Let’s get this straight: this is a parts catalog, not a repair manual. It does not contain torque specs or step-by-step disassembly procedures. You need the service manual for that. But when you open a service manual and it says “remove the hydraulic hose assembly”, you need this catalog to identify which hose assembly (there are 30 different ones under “Imp.Idr.Principale”). The catalog gives you the hose routing diagram in the exploded view and tells you the OEM part number for that specific hose. Use both manuals together. Don’t try to rebuild a stabilizer cylinder without the correct seal kit. The part number for the seal kit is in this catalog. Period.

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications?

No. Only part numbers. Torque specs are in the service manual.

How do I find the right part for my specific serial number?

The catalog breaks down assemblies by serial number ranges. For example, front axle reduction gear has six different part sets depending on axle serial number. You need to locate your axle serial number (stamped on the housing), then match it to the page listed in the alphabetical contents. Page 3 of the catalog lists over 20 axle variants with page numbers. Once you find your range, turn to that page and you’ll see an exploded diagram with callouts. Each callout has a description and a part number. Write that number down and call your dealer or order online. Do not assume the part from a different serial range will fit. The design changed – that’s why the catalog has separate entries.

Don’t use aftermarket bolts on the stabilizer assembly. Period.

Bottom line: if you work on these telehandlers, you need this book on the workbench next to your service manual. Every time I’ve skipped checking the axle serial range or ordered a generic part, I’ve had to do the job twice. That’s lost billable hours. Access the Factory Manual now and keep it on your tablet or print the pages you need. The 628 pages are worth their weight in factory-spec part numbers.
