SCAT TRAK 3170, 3175, 3200, 3210, 3500 1998 Parts Catalog

If you are pulling a transmission out of a SCAT TRAK 3170, 3175, 3200, 3210, 3500 1998 Parts Catalog and realize the shift control linkage is missing three bearings, you need the exact part numbers – not a guess off eBay. I have spent too many Saturday afternoons waiting on parts that didn’t fit because someone used a generic cross-reference. This manual is the original OEM factory print from 1998, not a third-party recompile. It covers both the wheel loader models (3170/3175/3200/3210) and the forklift models (3500/3510). With 272 pages of exploded diagrams, you will see exactly how the assembly comes apart and which nuts, seals, and shafts go where. page 1 shows the model breakdown and serial number ranges so you know your machine is included. After that, page 2 lists the full Table of Contents with five main sections.

Transmission and Drive: What the Parts Catalog Covers

Section 1 is where most jobs start. It covers the Transmission shift control assembly, cover and adapter, input shaft, idler shaft, and output shaft assemblies. The drive train, axle, and both front and rear drive shafts are detailed. Wheel assemblies are split – one set for the 3170/3175/3200/3210, another for the 3500/3510. If you need the bearing part number for the input shaft, it is listed with the exploded view. I have seen too many guys order the wrong axle seal because they assumed all SCAT TRAK axles use the same part. They don’t. The catalog gives you the exact OEM part number, not a supersession guess.

Power Plant Section – Which Engine Variants Are Listed?

Two engine options appear in this manual: Deere and Continental. Section 2 breaks out engine mounts and fuel lines separately for each. Radiator assemblies, muffler, air cleaner assemblies (early vs. current production), throttle and choke controls are all shown. There is even a Fertilizer Protection Package listed under section 2.12 – something you won’t find in aftermarket catalogs. If your machine has a Continental engine, you go to section 2.2, not 2.1. The parts are not interchangeable. This catalog removes the guesswork.

3 Reasons to Use a Factory Parts Catalog Over Aftermarket

First, OEM part numbers are verified against the actual assembly drawings. Aftermarket catalogs often consolidate multiple years or variants into one number, and you end up with a part that sort-of fits. Second, the exploded view shows the order of assembly – which way a seal faces, which snap ring goes where. Third, the factory manual includes revision notes and production breaks. The air cleaner assembly on early production machines (section 2.7) is different from the current Deere version (section 2.8). You will see the exact point where the change happened. I will not use aftermarket parts books for anything critical. Trust the OEM print.

Frame and Operators Compartment – Including ROPS/FOPS

Section 3 is thick with structural parts: frame assembly, shields, cradle, fuel tank, back-up alarm, and the ROPS/FOPS structures (section 3.5). Dash assembly, cab components, doors, windows, seat mounting, and the steering control column are all drawn. If you need a replacement windshield for the cab, the part number is in section 3.10. The optional cab heater assembly and pressurizer are also listed. This section alone saves you from calling a dealer and waiting on hold for fifteen minutes to get a part number they will probably write down wrong.

Hydraulic System Breakdown – Steering and Implement Circuits

Section 4 covers the hydraulic system in detail. Steering circuit supply, oil strainer and breather, steering cylinder circuit and assembly. The implement pump supply circuits are separate for the 3500/3510 versus the 3170/3175/3200/3210. Hydraulic control valve breakdowns, inlet cover, boom and bucket valve sections, the cooling circuit, and multiple cylinder assemblies are all here. If you have a bucket cylinder leak on a 3175, section 4.14 shows the bucket cylinder circuit for the 3170/3175. The loader boom lift cylinder circuits are split by model. This level of detail prevents ordering a cylinder that is 3 inches too long. I have seen that happen. It is not fun.

If you need a different model, check the SCAT TRAK 545 1999 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual or the SCAT TRAK 545W 1999 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Parts Manual. Another option is the SCAT TRAK 535 1999 Parts Catalog – Factory Specs & Diagrams. For background on the Automotive Industry Overview and the Automotive Industry Overview, those links provide general context, but this manual is what you need on the bench.

FAQ – Before You Buy

Does this manual cover the 3510 model?

Yes, it includes the 3500/3510 variants.

Are torque specs included in a parts catalog?

No, this is a parts catalog – it lists part numbers and exploded views, not service procedures. For torque specs, you need the service manual.

Can I use this to rebuild the transmission?

A parts catalog shows you the component breakdown and part numbers for ordering. Rebuilding requires the service manual which includes disassembly, inspection, and reassembly steps. This catalog will help you identify the exact parts you need when ordering seals, bearings, or shafts from the Transmission section.

How do I know which engine variant my machine has?

Look at the engine serial number. The manual lists parts for both Deere and Continental engines.

You have the serial numbers and the machine tagged. You know what you need. Do not waste a week guessing part numbers and hoping they show up correct. Access the Factory Manual and get the right OEM parts the first time.
