Bobcat 974

Parts Compatible with the Bobcat 974 Skid Steer Loader

The 974 is among the least common Bobcats still in service, a heavy-class machine whose listings carry both MA and MB prefixed ranges, 4969MA1001 and above and 4969MB1001 and above. The second letter is the configuration marker, so an MA machine and an MB machine can take different versions of the same part, and the plate decides.

For a machine this rare, the shared hardware of the heavy 900-family is what keeps it serviceable, and each product page's application list carries the specifics that folklore cannot.

Common Replacement Parts for the Bobcat 974

The survivor's kit is compact: the large clamp replacing OEM 42H64 for its heavy plumbing, the 17C-series bolts replacing OEM numbers from 17C612 through 17C628 in original sizes, fuel filters for the diesel, and the seals, O-rings, nuts, and washers that keep hydraulics and hardware tight.

The parts manual is indispensable on a 974. Match by its OEM numbers, and quote the full two-letter prefix when asking our team to confirm a range.
