Bobcat 542

Parts Compatible with the Bobcat 542 Skid Steer Loader

The 542 sat between the 540 and 543 in Bobcat's small-frame classics, sharing their compact chassis while carrying its own engine fit. Listings reference serial ranges of 508512001 and above and 506911251 and above, and that second range's mid-sequence start is worth noting: it begins partway through a series, so a 5069-prefix serial below 11251 falls outside it.

Chassis and control hardware interchange across the 540, 542, and 543 as a family, which their shared listings reflect. Engine-side parts split by each model's powerplant, so confirm those against the 542's own applications.

Common Replacement Parts for the Bobcat 542

The small-frame service pattern defines this catalog: the vibration damper replacing OEM 6560633 for mounts, the press fit bushing replacing OEM 6665701 for chassis pivots, rectangular washers replacing OEM 6553709, and the hose clamps and hex hardware that a decades-old fuel and cooling run consumes. Grease fittings and O-rings round out the maintenance staples.

The parts manual OEM number is the dependable identifier for a machine of this era, and our team can check any range against your serial number.
