Skytrak 5030, 6034 1985 Parts Catalog

If you are holding a Skytrak 5030, 6034 1985 Parts Catalog in your hands, you are looking at the same book our shop used when these telehandlers were still in production. I have seen too many mechanics order a boom cylinder seal kit based on a serial number guess, only to find the threads are different because the machine had an optional load-holding valve. This manual puts an end to that wasted time. It is the OEM illustrated parts book, 90 pages of factory part numbers, exploded views, and the exact breakdowns that let you order the correct component the first time. No aftermarket reprints, no scanned-and-lost-quality PDF. This is the original 1985 edition, and it matches the machines built that year. Automotive Industry Overview

Parts Breakdown for the 5030 and 6034

Every section in this catalog is organized by the physical groups on the machine. Frame Group (page 3), Outer Boom (page 7), Inner Boom and Grille (page 9), Air Cleaner Group (page 11). The front axle is split by driveline configuration: 5030-2 and 6034-2 start on page 11, the 4‑wheel-drive versions (5030-4 and 6034-4) on page 13. That kind of detail matters when you are trying to identify which hub assembly you need. Wheels and Tires (page 14) includes the optional sand tire listing on 14A. The book also covers the Oil Cooler Group, Muffler and Radiator, Hood and Instrument Panel, and the full Hydraulic Reservoir Group. Each page gives you a clean exploded drawing with callouts and the Skytrak part number right next to the item. No searching through cross-reference tables.

What This Parts Catalog Covers

It covers the entire machine from the frame up. Hydraulic plumbing groups are separated by the type of load-holding valve fitted: standard (page 30,30A), with holding valve (30B), and with double load holding valve (page 31). That alone saves you from ordering the wrong hose kit. The boom cylinder is listed separately for the 5030 (page 42) and the 6034 (page 43) – different stroke, different part number. Lift cylinder, tilt and slave cylinder, stabilizer cylinder, steering cylinder – each gets its own page with the internal parts exploded. Also included: Main Control Valve Levers, Throttle Linkages, Electrical System, Decals, and a dozen optional equipment sections like the Lighting Ejector, Diesel Generator, 10‑Foot Mast Extension, Counterbalance Valve, Side‑Tilt Carriage, Fenders, and Concrete Hopper. If your machine has an option from the factory, this catalog lists it.

3 Key Groups for Boom and Hydraulics

Three areas where I see the most misordered parts: Front Assist Hub (page 41 for 5030-4/6034-4), the Main Pump Group (page 27), and the Boom Cylinder Plumbing Group pages (30–31). The Front Assist Hub page gives you the hub, bearings, seals, and the drive flange assembly. The Main Pump Group shows the pump, coupling, and mounting bracket – if you need a replacement pump, the part number is right there. The Boom Cylinder Plumbing pages let you distinguish between the standard routing, the routing with a holding valve, and the double‑holding‑valve version. Each version uses different hoses, fittings, and brackets. This catalog makes that distinction obvious.

Get the Right Part Number the First Time

When a customer brings in a 6034 with a leaking steering cylinder, I can flip to page 47, point at the seal kit number, and have the part on order in two minutes. That is the value of an OEM parts catalog. It takes the guesswork out of matching serial numbers to superseded parts. Skytrak changed the boom cylinder design between the 5030 and the 6034, and even between early and late production runs. The manual accounts for that with separate part number listings. You will also find the optional equipment sections like the Side‑Tilt Carriage (page 65) and the Counterbalance Valve (page 63) – these are the attachments that often get missed in generic catalogs.

Frame and Front Axle: Factory Specs Inside

Frame Group (page 3) includes the main frame weldment, side plates, and mounting brackets. The Front Axle pages break down the housing, differential, planetaries, and brakes. If you need a bearing for the 5030-2 axle, the part number is listed. The 6034-4 axle uses different planet carriers – that is clearly shown on page 13. This manual also includes the Wheels and Tires section (page 14) with the standard tire sizes and the optional sand tire. No assembly required – just the part numbers you need.

Source Validity: OEM vs. Aftermarket

Aftermarket parts catalogs often consolidate multiple years into one book, omitting the small differences that cause fitment problems. This is the original JLG–Skytrak publication from June 1985. It was printed for the dealer network and contains the exact part numbers that Skytrak assigned to each component. If you have a 5030 with a serial number that falls within the 1985 production run, this book is the correct reference. I have seen aftermarket catalogs list the wrong seal kit for the boom cylinder because they merged the 5030 and 6034 into one entry. That does not happen with this manual.

FAQ

Does this manual cover both the 5030 and 6034?

Yes, it covers both models in one catalog. Pages are organized by model suffix where parts differ (e.g., 5030-2 vs. 6034-4).

Are part numbers still current for these machines?

Many part numbers remain active, though some may have been superseded. The catalog gives you the 1985 OEM number, which you can cross-reference with your dealer. That is far more reliable than guessing from a parts website.

How many pages is the manual?

90 pages. That includes the main sections and all optional equipment addenda.

I need a part for the 10-foot mast extension. Is it in here?

Yes, the optional 10-foot mast extension is covered on page 59. It includes the mast structure, chains, sheaves, and mounting hardware. The part numbers for the extension cylinder and hoses are also listed.

I have been wrenching for 28 years, and I can tell you that having the right parts catalog on your bench is the difference between a two-hour job and a two-day wait for the wrong part.
