Historical & Legacy Equipment Parts Research

The legacy programme has researched 96 candidate designations. 89 have OEM identity evidence; 7 remain outside the published identity collection pending exact source or generation evidence. Manufacturer research sections preserve the exact designation and its regional source.

Read an archived specification in its own scope

A past-product page can contain several configurations. A family label can also span engines, drivetrains or market packages. Preserve a variant’s dates with that variant and keep unknown family bounds blank. An archive’s production period does not establish a Canadian serial interval, continued parts support or compatibility.

Exact matches link to existing HeavyEQ model identities. Separately supported earlier generations keep their own research section; related suffixes are not silently merged. Identity-only evidence is grouped in these guides, while substantive machine-specific notes appear beside their sources.

Turn evidence into a useful parts request

Give the complete maker and model, installed assembly tag, position and known options. State when a number is unreadable or a component was replaced previously. Do not fill a missing serial or engine designation from a neighbouring model’s specification.
