Schäffer 4160 2008 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Spare Parts List

You’ve got a Schäffer 4160 loader down with a blown steering cylinder. You pull the aftermarket parts book and the seal kit number doesn’t match anything. The o-rings are the wrong size. Now you’re chasing cross-references while the machine sits. I’ve been there. The Schäffer 4160 2008 Parts Catalog from the factory is what you need. 151 pages of exploded views, part numbers, and assembly breakdowns that match what came off the line. No guesswork. No “compatible with” nonsense.

Steering Cylinder and Hydraulic System

The manual opens with the steering cylinder (E 1), lift cylinder (E 2), and tool cylinder (E 4). Then it dives into the hydraulic filter (E 6), steering hydraulics (E 7), work hydraulics (E 8), the control unit (E 9), and drive hydraulics (E 10). Flip to page 4 and you’ll see the full table of contents – every chapter listed with its German and English description. If you need the part number for a steering cylinder seal kit, this is where you find it. No aftermarket reprint with blurry diagrams. Factory line drawings with callouts.

Does This Manual Include Engine and Fuel System Parts?

Yes. Chapters E 22 through E 26 cover engine mounting and clutch (E 22), fuel system (E 23), exhaust system (E 24), air cleaner system (E 25), and water/oil radiator (E 26). The engine section shows mounts, brackets, and the clutch assembly. The fuel system chapter includes the tank, lines, and filter housing. If you’re tracking down a fuel leak or replacing a radiator, the part numbers here are the same ones Schäffer stamped on the original components.

2 Axle Configurations Covered

Page 5 lists the axle chapters for both the 20 km/h and 30 km/h executions. The 20 km/h version uses front axle 5862-M and rear axle 5863-M. Chapters AV 1.1 and AV 1.3 cover front axles without and with differential interlock. Rear axle chapters AH 1.1, AH 1.4, and AH 1.5 cover the multi-plate brake. The 30 km/h version uses axles 5858-M-7 and 5859-M-7. Chapters A 2.1 through A 2.4 break down the differential, intermediate gear, propel drive, and multi-plate brake. If you’re rebuilding an axle or ordering bearings, you need the exact sub‑assembly number. This catalog gives it.

Don’t Overlook the Cabin Parts

The cabin section (Kapitel Kabine Dieteg Typ 450T-02) runs from K 1.1 to K 1.10. It covers the cabin structure, doors, heating system, sound absorption, seat flap, steering console, switch console, and inter hood. Also includes the hardtop (Verdeck Dieteg) with frame and upgrade kits. If your heater blower is dead or the door latch is broken, the part numbers are here. Same for the optional equipment sections S 18.1 and S 18.2 for different tool holders.

Source Authenticity: Factory Drawings vs Reprints

This is an original 2008 Schäffer publication, not a third‑party scan or a re-labeled aftermarket book. The paper manual was printed in Germany by Schäffer. The PDF we sell is a direct digital copy of that factory document. The diagrams are crisp, the part numbers line up with what you’ll see on the actual components, and the chapter layout follows the machine’s real assembly sequence. Aftermarket parts catalogs frequently swap out part numbers or omit supersessions. This one doesn’t. For a machine that costs real money to sit idle, you want the real thing.

What chapters are included in the Schäffer 4160 parts catalog?

The manual covers 30+ chapters across five major sections: basic equipment (E 1–E 35), optional equipment (S 18.1–S 18.2), cabin Dieteg type 450T-02 (K 1.1–K 1.10), hardtop Dieteg type 450T-02 (V 1.1–V 1.4), and axles (20 km/h and 30 km/h executions). Each chapter contains exploded diagrams with part numbers. The table of contents on pages 4‑5 lists everything in both German and English. You get steering cylinders, lift cylinders, tool cylinders, hydraulic filters, steering/work/drive hydraulics, the control unit, driver’s seat, control elements, engine cover, frame, lifting arm, battery/lighting/counterweight, steering column/instrument panel, engine mounting/clutch, fuel system, exhaust, air cleaner, water/oil radiator, axles/cardan shaft/tyres, brakes, adhesive labels, and all axle sub‑assemblies.

Does this manual cover the engine and fuel system?

Yes. Engine mounting and clutch (E 22), fuel system (E 23), exhaust (E 24), air cleaner (E 25), and radiator (E 26) are all included.

Are torque specs and repair procedures included?

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It contains part numbers and exploded views – not torque values or step‑by‑step repair instructions. For service specs, get the factory workshop manual.

Is the manual available in English?

The catalog is bilingual – German and English. Chapter titles and descriptions appear in both languages. The part numbers and diagrams are language‑independent.

You need a part number for a steering cylinder, a lift cylinder seal, a cabin door hinge, or an axle bearing. You don’t need a generic cross‑reference that might be wrong. Access the Factory Manual – the original Schäffer 4160 spare parts list from 2008 – and get the exact number off the page. No more downtime chasing the wrong part.
