Vibromax AT 35 1997 Parts Catalog – When You Need the Right Part Number, Not a Guess

I run a six-bay shop in San Antonio. Half my afternoon gets eaten up when a tech orders the wrong bearing because some online parts site mislabeled a diagram. That doesn’t happen when you have the factory book. This is the Vibromax AT 35 1997 Parts Catalog – 117 pages of what Vibromax drew up in Düsseldorf, not some third-party re-compile. It covers the Hatz diesel engine that powers this vibrating plate, and it breaks down every assembly from the lower base plate to the decals. If you are maintaining an AT 35 that came off the line after serial number 14 010 00, this is the document that matches your machine.

Lower Section and Upper Section: Where the Weight Lives

Section 1 is the Unterteil – the lower section of the vibratory plate. That is the heavy cast base and the exciter housing. You strip that down to replace a worn isolator or a cracked base plate, you need part numbers from page 1-2. Section 2 covers the Oberteil (upper section) including the clutch assembly on page 2-8. The clutch linkage and the sheaves are specific to the AT 35; a generic parts list won’t give you the right bearing preload specs. The factory exploded view shows every snap ring and spacer. No guesswork – you look at the diagram, you order the exact piece.

Motor Structure: 21 Breakdowns in Section 5

Section 5 is the heart of this catalog. Twenty-one subsections covering the Hatz motor from crankcase to exhaust. I’m talking Kurbelgehäuse, kpl. (complete crankcase) on page 5-2, Kolben und Pleuelstange (piston and connecting rod) page 5-14, Zylinderkopf (cylinder head) page 5-16, all the way to Motorausrüstung EPA (EPA engine equipment) on page 5-66. Each spread has a clean isometric view with callouts and part numbers. You need a new injection pump? Check page 5-30 under Einspritzausrüstung. You want the part number for the fuel tank? That is on page 5-42. The catalog gives you the OEM reference, not a re-labeled aftermarket substitute. That matters when you are waiting on a part and the machine is sitting on the lot at $85 an hour rental rate.

Does This Manual Cover the Clutch and Guiding Bar?

Yes. Section 2 includes the clutch assembly (Kupplung) – the centrifugal clutch that engages the vibrator shaft. Section 3 is the Führungsstange (guiding bar) with the complete control rod (Steuerstange, kpl.) on page 3-2. If you have a wandering steering issue or a clutch that slips under load, the exploded diagram shows you the spring plate, the shoes, and the retaining hardware. I have seen techs try to machine their own clutch parts using dimensions from a 2005 manual – that does not work because the AT 35 had a specific clutch hub bore in 1997. This catalog gives you the part number straight from the factory.

Special Accessories: Not Just the Base Machine

Section 6 covers Sonderzubehör – special attachments like the 75 mm and 125 mm tamping plates, and the Vulkollan (polyurethane) base plates in 450 mm, 600 mm, and 700 mm widths. You retrofit a wider plate to change compaction width? You need the part numbers for the adaptor bracket and bolts. Those are on pages 6-2 through 6-10. I have seen cases where a shop bought a used AT 35 that had a swapped plate and the bolt pattern did not match the exciter housing. The factory parts catalog shows you exactly which hardware goes with which plate. You match the serial number range, you get the right parts.

Factory Source vs. Aftermarket Compilations

This is not a copy of a copy. Vibromax printed this catalog in July 1997 (Ausgabe Juli 1997). It carries the ISO 9001 cert number 59557-01 from Vibromax’s Düsseldorf plant. The part numbers follow the original 05435/50012 A format. I have seen aftermarket catalogs that list a generic bearing for the clutch and it fails in 200 hours because the seal is wrong. The factory catalog shows the OEM part number – you cross-reference that to your local dealer and you get the exact seal. I refuse to use third-party reprints in my shop for anything that vibrates at 3600 RPM. If you are serious about keeping the AT 35 running, you want the original print. VIBROMAX AV 901 Parts Catalog 06027/28020 and VIBROMAX AV 601 Parts Catalog 06025/28020 follow the same principle – factory-only. You can also check VIBROMAX AT 8 Parts Catalog 05408/28020 for the smaller plate. Outside the Vibromax world, the Automotive Industry Overview reminds you that OEM documentation is the standard. The Automotive Industry Overview confirms that OEM parts catalogs remain the benchmark for accuracy in equipment maintenance.

FAQ – Four Answers, No Rambling

Can this parts catalog be used to repair the Hatz engine?

Not for repair procedures. This is a parts catalog – it gives you exploded views and part numbers. You need a separate service manual for torque specs and assembly steps. But if you are looking for the exact ring gear part number for the flywheel, this is where you find it.

Is the manual available in English?

Yes. It has English, German, French, and Spanish side by side. Part numbers are numeric so language does not matter.

How many pages does the catalog have?

117 pages, including the cover and the detailed section for special accessories.

What serial number range does this cover?

Valid from Werk-Nr. (serial number) 14 010 00. If your AT 35 is older than that, you need a different edition. Check the serial plate on the frame before ordering.
