Schäffer 4042, 4048 2006 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Spare Parts List

I’ve seen guys order three different steering cylinders because they guessed at the serial number break. This catalog kills that guesswork. It’s the original Schäffer Spare Parts List for the 4042 and 4048(S) loaders, printed November 2006. 118 pages of factory exploded views and part numbers. No aftermarket reinterpretation – just the OEM numbering directly from Schäffer. Automotive Industry Overview doesn’t get more direct than this.

Steering and Lift Cylinders (Chapter 1 & 2)

Page 4 of the catalog lists the Lenkzylinder (steering cylinder) and Hubzylinder (lift cylinder) chapters. You get the exploded view with every seal, bearing, and rod. No aftermarket diagram that combines two different model years. This is the exact part numbers for your 4042 or 4048. If you need a tie-rod end or a piston seal, you’ll find the Schäffer number, not some generic cross-reference that may or may not fit.

Hydraulic Systems: Filter, Steering Hydraulics, and Control Unit (Chapters 6-9)

Hydraulikfilter (Chapter 6), Lenkhydraulik (Chapter 7), Arbeitshydraulik (Chapter 8), and Steuergerät (Chapter 9) are all covered in separate sections. Each chapter has its own parts list. You want the filter element part number? Chapter 6. Steering control valve seals? Chapter 7. Need the charge pressure line O-ring? Not in the service manual – it’s in this parts catalog. The OEM numbering means you can walk into a Schäffer dealer and hand them the page number.

Fuel and Exhaust Systems (Chapters 23-24)

Kraftstoffanlage (fuel system) and Auspuffanlage (exhaust system) are on page 5 of the TOC. These chapters include the fuel tank, lines, filter, and the muffler assembly. If you have a fuel leak or need a new exhaust gasket, this catalog gives you the correct part. Schäffer Loader 4042 / 4048 Spare Parts List 2008 is a later edition, but this 2006 catalog covers the earlier production run.

Axles, Tires, and Brakes (Chapters 27-30)

Vorderachse (front axle), Hinterachse (rear axle), Achsen/Bereifung/Gelenkwelle (axles/tires/driveshaft), and Bremsanlage (brake system) – all factory drawings. Page 5 shows these chapters. The brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders are listed with OEM numbers. No aftermarket guesswork on thread sizes or bolt grades. You can order the exact brake pads for your 4048.

Cab and Canopy Options – Dieteg Types (K and V chapters)

Two different cab types are covered: Dieteg Typ 3036 up to 09/2003 and Dieteg Typ 450T-02 from 10/2003. Plus a Verdeck (canopy) section. These include cab frames, doors, heating, sound insulation, and consoles. If your machine has a cab that was swapped or updated, you need the specific chapter. Schäffer D905-E2B-EU-XL1 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Spare Parts List is for a different model, but the cab section here is specific to 4042/4048.

Source Authenticity: OEM vs Aftermarket Parts Catalogs

Aftermarket parts lists often combine 4020 and 4048 parts into one listing, assuming they’re interchangeable. They’re not. Schäffer changed the steering column and frame after 2003. This catalog was printed by Schäffer Maschinenbau themselves. Every exploded view, every part number, every revision letter is factory-verified. Automotive Industry Overview will tell you that OEM documentation is the only safe reference for safety-critical components like brake and steering parts.

Period.

FAQs

Does this catalog cover both the 4042 and 4048 models?

Yes, it covers both the 4042 and 4048(S) models.

What years does this parts catalog cover?

The manual is dated November 2006. It covers machines produced up to that point, including earlier serial numbers.

Are the part numbers in this catalog still valid for current production?

Some parts may have been superseded by later revisions. Schäffer has changed certain components, especially in the hydraulic control unit and the cab variants. You should always verify with a dealer if the number has been updated. However, this catalog is the baseline reference – you can give the dealer the 5-digit part number from these pages and they can look up the current revision. Without this catalog, you’re chasing supersessions blind. I’ve seen guys order a $300 steering cylinder only to find it’s the wrong port orientation because they used an online cross-reference that didn’t mark the -01 revision.

Can I use this catalog to repair the loader?

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It shows exploded views and part numbers, not torque specs or repair procedures. You need the factory service manual for that. Schäffer 3033(S)/3026 Parts List Manual is a similar parts catalog for a different model series.

Access the Factory Manual today and stop wasting hours on wrong parts. That 118-page PDF will sit on your tablet next to the workbench, giving you the exact OEM number for every seal, hose, and bracket on your 4042 or 4048 loader.
