Trojan 1700 1973 Parts Catalog

You’ve got a Trojan 1700 1973 Parts Catalog that’s the real deal – not a scanned third-party copy, not a reprint with missing pages. This is the factory-issued Parts Manual and Operating Instructions from September 1973, manual part number 2022711, covering serial number 17-1011 and higher. 207 pages of part breakdowns, identification fields, and the exact instructions the factory intended for your machine. If you’re working on a Trojan 1700 tractor shovel and you’re tired of guessing part numbers or ordering the wrong spindles, this is the document you need on the bench next to your tool box.

Manual Part Number 2022711 and Revision 1

Page 1 of the manual prints the exact part number for the document itself: 2022711, and it includes Revision 1. That means you’re not getting a pre-release draft or an early print that missed corrections. The factory stamped it with the revision level, so you know the data is current as of the September 1973 print date. The serial number cutoff is 17-1011 and higher – if your machine falls in that range, this catalog matches your build.

Trojan 1700 1973 Parts Catalog: What You Get

This isn’t a selector guide – it’s the original parts catalog broken down by assembly groups. The first few pages list engine model, serial number, transmission part number, front and rear axle part numbers – all fields you fill in when you first open the manual (page 2). Then the catalog proceeds through the tractor shovel systems: bucket, lift arms, steering, hydraulics, driveline. Each section gives you the factory part number, description, and quantity per machine. Need a replacement hydraulic hose or a steering cylinder seal? The numbers are here, not buried in an aftermarket cross-reference that might be wrong.

3 Critical Pages You Need to Understand

Page 1 gives the serial number range. Page 2 has the identification fields for engine, transmission, axles. Page 3 is the introduction – read it. That introduction warns you that ordering parts without your machine serial number is a waste of time and money. The factory says: “Without the SERIAL NUMBER, neither the Distributor nor the Construction Equipment Division will be able to determine the exact specifications under which your machine was built.” That’s not a suggestion – it’s a direct instruction. Ignore it and you’ll end up with a part that doesn’t fit because a design change happened between serial numbers.

Know Your Serial Number Before Ordering

Every time you order a part for a Trojan 1700, you open the manual to page 2 and verify your serial number against the ranges listed. The catalog covers serial number 17-1011 and higher. If your machine is below that, you need a different manual – don’t guess. Write your serial number in the field on page 2, then cross-reference every part number against that page. Use only Trojan authorized parts as specified in the catalog; swapping in generic components can ruin the hydraulic system calibration. For a larger machine, check the O & K Trojan L2000 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory 131-Page Manual or the O&K Trojan 1900Z Parts Manual – Section: Group 65 (From Page 5) for similar coverage. If you run a 4000E, see the Trojan 4000E 1984 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory 238-Page Manual.

Source Authenticity: OEM Print vs. Aftermarket Copies

I’ve seen too many guys get burned by aftermarket part catalogs that swap illustrations or omit the operating instructions section. This manual is a direct factory print, not a re-scanned, re-sold version. The introduction specifically states: “At the time this manual is issued to you, it covers the latest information and data available at the time of printing.” Aftermarket companies don’t include those notes – they strip the context. You want the actual Eaton Corporation document with the Trojan Circle logo and Batavia, New York address. That’s what you access here. For a broader overview of heavy equipment documentation standards, the Automotive Industry Overview page can give background, but the Trojan-specific specs are in this catalog. Also check the Automotive Industry Overview for manufacturing context.

Operating Instructions Inside the Catalog

This is a parts manual and operating instructions combined. The first pages cover startup, operation, and safety notes for the 1700. The parts breakdowns follow. If you’re a home garage guy who bought an old Trojan 1700 at auction, you need to read the operating instructions before you even turn the key. The manual states that an inexperienced person should refrain from making adjustments and repairs because it can lead to very costly repairs. That’s not scare talk – it’s a direct warning from the manufacturer. Use the catalog to get the right parts, then use the operating instructions to install them correctly.

Does this manual cover the operating instructions for the 1700?

Yes, the first pages include operating instructions for the Trojan 1700 tractor shovel. See page 3 for the introduction and safety advice.

What if my serial number is below 17-1011?

This manual is specifically for serial number 17-1011 and higher. For earlier machines, you need a different parts catalog. Without the correct serial number, you risk ordering parts that won’t fit. The manual explicitly warns that without the serial number, “neither the Distributor nor the Construction Equipment Division will be able to determine the exact specifications under which your machine was built.” Always match your serial number to the range printed on page 1 before ordering.

You don’t need to hunt through forum posts hoping someone posted a blurry photo of page 47. This is the real factory catalog – 207 pages, PDF format, searchable. Access the Factory Manual now and get the correct part numbers for your Trojan 1700 before you waste another weekend on a wrong-order part.
