Xtreme XR737, XR742 2005 Parts Catalog

Ordering parts for a forklift shouldn’t feel like a treasure hunt. But if you’ve ever matched a part number from a generic online list and ended up with the wrong seal, you know the pain. This 450-page Xtreme Parts Catalog for the XR737 and XR742 is the one and only source for factory-verified part numbers. I’ve used these catalogs for 28 years – they save time and money because the number you need is exactly what Xtreme stamped on the part.

What This Parts Catalog Actually Covers

This is an Illustrated Parts Breakdown Manual – not a service manual, not a repair guide. It gives you the exact OEM part numbers, reference numbers, and exploded view diagrams for every assembly on the XR737 and XR742 forward reach forklifts. The manual starts with a List of Effective Pages (pages A through D) and indexes for Service Bulletins and Design Change Notices. Then it dives into 11 numbered sections covering the entire machine. Need a steering cylinder seal kit? Section 7 runs from page 7-1 through 7-58. The index at the back (120 pages) cross-references every part description to its location. That’s the part of the catalog that pays for itself the first time you look up a hydraulic fitting.

How to Navigate the 11 Sections

The sections are arranged logically, starting with general information (Section 1, two pages) and moving through drivetrain, hydraulic system, mast, electrical, and more. Each section uses a consistent numbering scheme. The part numbers are Xtreme OEM numbers – not generic equivalents. If you see a number in this catalog, it matches the part that came off the assembly line in Las Vegas. The manual also includes Design Change Notices so you know if a part was superseded. That alone saves hours of cross-referencing when you’re ordering for a machine that’s been updated. And because it’s the original 2005 publication, these change notices are already baked in – no hunting through separate bulletins.

Part Numbers You Can Actually Trust

Aftermarket parts catalogs often use “universal” numbers that don’t account for revisions. This manual lists every revision explicitly. For example, if a hydraulic pump was updated in 2004, the change notice tells you the old number and the new one. You don’t waste time ordering a part that doesn’t fit. And because it’s a Parts Catalog, you get the exploded diagrams that show exactly how the component goes together – which is critical when you’re ordering multiple parts for a rebuild. I’ve seen techs try to assemble a mast cylinder with mismatched seals because they guessed at the part number. That costs you a comeback. This catalog kills that risk.

Service Bulletins and Design Changes: Why They Matter

Page 3 lists the Service Bulletins that have been incorporated into this manual. Page 4 lists Design Change Notices. If you’re ordering parts for a machine built after a certain serial number range, those bulletins tell you which parts were revised. Without this information, you might order the original part that has a known failure mode. Xtreme Manufacturing, out of Las Vegas, NV, puts these updates into the catalog so you’re always getting the latest recommended parts. For more background on how these bulletins integrate into industry standards, read the Automotive Industry Overview.

Why an OEM Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket Lists

I’ve had junior guys bring me aftermarket “equivalent” lists printed off the internet. They’re missing details. The OEM catalog includes fastener callouts – thread pitch and grade. Aftermarket lists skip that. Xtreme built these forklifts, so only they know the exact specs. This is the same catalog their dealerships use. It’s not a reprint – it’s the original PDF from Xtreme Manufacturing, dated October 28, 2005. If you want to understand how the engine internals function, the Internal Combustion Engine article gives good theory, but for real parts, stick with OEM.

Who Should Buy This Manual

If you own an XR737 or XR742 and plan to keep it running yourself, this catalog is mandatory. Dealerships charge a premium for parts lookup time. With this, you find the part number, cross-check the index, and order from any supplier – but you know exactly which number to give them. It’s also useful for rebuild shops that work on multiple Xtreme models. If you also work on other Xtreme machines, check out the Xtreme XR2450 2011 Parts Catalog for newer models, or the Xtreme XR842 2006 Parts Catalog for the intermediate size. For the larger XR945, see the Xtreme XR945 2006 Illustrated Parts Breakdown Manual.

Does this manual include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. Torque values and repair procedures require the separate Xtreme service manual.

How do I find the right part number for the hydraulic control valve?

Start with the Index at the back. Look up “control valve, hydraulic” and get the page reference (likely Section 7). Turn to that page and find the exploded diagram. Each part has a callout number and a corresponding part number in the parts list table. If you have the old part, compare the reference number. The manual also includes Design Change Notices if the valve was updated, so check page viii for any bulletins that affect your serial number range. The index is 120 pages long – it covers every description from “accelerator pedal” to “yoke assembly.”

Bottom line: if you’re serious about keeping your Xtreme forklift operational without overpaying for parts, get the factory data. Access the Factory Manual now and put an end to parts guessing.
