Scheid 55A Serie II Parts Catalog – Stop Ordering Blind

If you are trying to keep a Scheid 55A Serie II Parts Catalog loader running, you know the headache of cross-referencing parts without the right book. One wrong bolt, one misread serial number, and you are waiting another week on a return. This is the original factory spare parts list – 196 pages of exploded-view illustrations and every part number Scheid and Clark assigned to this machine. No aftermarket reprints, no blurry scans. Page 4 shows you exactly how to order: state the catalog designation (Modell 55 A Serie II, spare parts list 1), chassis number, quantity, item number from the illustration, and shipping method. That level of detail keeps your downtime predictable.

Machine Identification and Ordering Procedure

Every loader has a serial number plate affixed to the chassis. That plate gives you the chassis number you must reference when buying parts. The manual makes it clear: without that number, Scheid’s spare parts department cannot guarantee fitment. The German instructions on page 3 list “Fahrgestell-Nr. : siehe Typenschild”. Over the years I have seen shops order a hydraulic pump for a Serie II only to get one for an earlier series because they skipped this step. The PDF includes the factory telegram address and teletype numbers too, in case you need to expedite through an international dealer.

SCHEID vs CLARK Part Numbers – What Those Digits Mean

Parts in this catalog carry two numbering systems. Ten-digit numbers are Scheid’s own; six-digit numbers in parentheses belong to Clark. Where a Clark part is identical to a Scheid part, the Clark number appears under the Scheid number in round brackets. That cross-reference alone can save you a call to a dealer who may not stock the Scheid-branded version. When you see a six-digit number like (123456) under the ten-digit 101411, you know the Clark bin in your local construction supply house holds the same piece. This is the kind of detail aftermarket sources routinely strip out.

Exploded Views vs Assembly Sequence

The manual warns you on page 3: “Anordnung der Teile auf den Bildtafeln entspricht nicht immer genau der Montage- bzw Demontagefolge.” Translated: the parts layout in the pictures does not always follow the order you would use to assemble or disassemble. This is not a service manual. If you need torque specs or step-by-step rebuild instructions, you want the service repair manual, not this parts catalog. But for identifying every nut, seal, and spool in your transmission or hydraulic circuit, these exploded views are the source of truth. The illustrations are unverbindlich – non-binding – meaning they represent typical builds; check your machine’s actual configuration against the serial number.

Why Use an OEM Parts Catalog Instead of Cross-Reference Sites?

Aftermarket parts sites scrape data from multiple sources and mix up metric and imperial fasteners, swap revisions, or drop supersession notes. This catalog was printed by Scheid Maschinenfabrik GmbH in Limburg/Lahn. Every part number was verified against the production drawings. If you are ordering internal components for the hydraulic control valve or the steering cylinders, a wrong seal can cost you a day of bleeding air. The 196-page OEM file gives you the exact item number to hand to the parts counter. Pair it with a Scheid Michigan Modell 175 A Parts List No. 2 if you have a bigger fleet. For fastener-specific guidance, see the Massey-Harris-Ferguson FF 30 GS 1957 Parts Catalog | OEM Fastener Guide. And if you need wear parts for your bucket cutting edge, check the Futura Wear Technology Parts Catalog.

Does This Manual Include Torque Specs?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a repair manual. You will not find torque values, fluid capacities, or adjustment procedures. What you get is part numbers, quantities per assembly, and the illustrations that show where each piece lives. For the 55A Serie II, the steering cylinder seals, the transmission clutch pack plates, and the engine accessories are all broken down with reference numbers that match the factory bin system. If you plan to rebuild the loader entirely, you will also need the corresponding service manual from the AutoRepairManuals collection.

FAQ

How do I find the right part number for my 55A Serie II?

Locate the illustration that shows the assembly you are working on. Each part has a callout number. Cross-reference that number to the parts list on the facing page. Match the ten-digit Scheid number or the six-digit Clark number in parentheses to your order. Always include the chassis number from the serial plate.

Can I use this to order parts for a 55A Serie I?

No. The Serie II has a different hydraulic system and final drive. Ordering Serie I parts from this catalog will not fit. You need the dedicated Serie I parts list.

What pages cover the torque converter section?

The catalog does not label sections explicitly, but the exploded views are grouped by assembly. Torque converter components appear near pages 60-75 based on the bookmark structure. Use the index of illustrations at the beginning.

Is this the same as a Clark Michigan parts catalog?

Close but not identical. Clark used its own part numbering. This Scheid catalog cross-references the Clark numbers. If your dealer stocks Clark parts, you can substitute using the six-digit Clark number inside parentheses. The catalog itself was published by Scheid for the German-built Michigan loaders.

Stop wasting time on cross-reference forums when the factory data is right here. The Scheid 55A Serie II Parts Catalog gives you every part number, every illustration, and the ordering protocol that keeps your loader moving.
