Part numbers and tracking superseded part numbers

Hi 2 Ton Holt , Order as per your Book nos. The numbers you give , as you showed ,will update on Dealers computer and they can order accordingly OK. However if you are dealing with early Parts Eg 10 and 15 Parts you need to change the Following . EG Part no V272 add an 0 in front of V and an 0 in Front of 2 = 0V0272. many of the wiz kids on parts do not understand . Parts must have 6 Digits to register . New machines now have all Numbers. Have a look at Cat Bolts for example , you will note the above info shows up very Often eg an 1 1/2" x 7/16" was T772 now it is an 0T0772 .
Hope this helps you LJ

I'm looking at some of the part numbers in the For Sale section, and wondered if there is a resource that we can use (before calling the dealer) to look up superseded part numbers? Would getting a Cat account enable that look-up?
Cheers,
Neil.

Tried my online Cat parts store and it says part # superseded and to call dealer
