Condor T80, T86J Parts Catalog – Factory Specs You Can Trust

If you’ve ever tried matching a hydraulic swivel seal by eyeballing it from a blurry aftermarket diagram, you know the pain. That hour you spent cross-referencing part numbers on three different websites? Billable time you never get back. The Condor T80, T86J Parts Catalog is the only document that tells you exactly which Condor part goes where, because it came from TIME CONDOR Corp. themselves. 72 pages of illustrated parts breakdowns, from the chassis rotation assembly to the air cleaner installation. No guessing, no “universal fit” nonsense.

What’s Inside This Parts Catalog

Four sections, each built around factory Figure numbers. Section One covers Final Installation with specification pages for both the T80 (Figure 1-1, page 1-2) and the T86J (Figure 1-3). Section Two is decal installation – only one page, because stickers matter when OSHA shows up. Section Three dives into the Chassis: nine figures covering the steering cylinder, torque hub, rear and front axle assemblies, drive valve, idler hub bearing, steer valve, tire installation, hydraulic swivel, and electrical slip ring assembly. Section Four handles the Turret (spelled “Thrret” in the original manual – they fixed it later) – turret rotation, cylinder, lower control box, engine pump filter, air cleaner, and engine installation.

Section Breakdown: Chassis, Turret, and Final Installation

You’ll find exploded-view drawings for every major subassembly. Need the part number for the steer cylinder seal kit? Figure 3-4 lists it. Chassis rotation assembly? Figure 3-2. The manual even includes the recommended spare parts list and a service parts fax order form. That’s right – you can fill out the form on page ix and fax it straight to Waco, Texas. If you work on older TIME CONDOR equipment, check the related TIME CONDOR V2648 V2653 1997 Parts Catalog for earlier boom platform variants.

How to Order Parts the Right Way

Page vii covers “How to Order Parts” – not a generic paragraph, but the actual procedure used by Condor dealers. You’ll need the model number (M-T80 or M-T86J), the manual number (92387-003), and the Figure number and ref. index from the drawing. Don’t call the parts counter without those three pieces of data. The fax order form on page ix is pre-formatted, so you can’t screw it up. For a different Condor boom model, the TIME CONDOR V2648 V2653 1997 Parts Catalog – Section: Loading And Unloading might cover your machine.

Why Factory Parts Catalogs Beat Aftermarket Reprints

Aftermarket catalogs re-draw the figures, change the reference numbers, and sometimes omit the hydraulic swivel (Figure 3-11) because it’s “too complicated.” That’s how you end up with a wrong swivel joint and a two-week wait. This Condor catalog is scanned from the original TIME CONDOR Corp. publication – every part number matches what Condor stamped on the metal. The electrical slip ring assembly on page 3-22? Factory correct. If you work on the taller models, the Condor V3287G V4287G 1997 Parts Manual uses the same chassis layout but different turret parts.

Audience Fit: Who Needs This Manual

Equipment owners and rental yard mechanics who maintain Condor T80 or T86J boom-supported work platforms. Home garage enthusiasts? Only if you own one – and if you do, this catalog keeps you from ordering wrong seals. Beginners will appreciate the clear Figure numbering and the spare parts list that tells you what to stock. If you want background on construction equipment standards, the Automotive Industry Overview provides context on industry practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. Torque values are in the separate Condor service manual.

Can I use this catalog to identify parts for a T86J serial number after 2001?

The manual covers M-T80 and M-T86J models up to October 2000 (manual 92387-003). If your machine has a later serial number, TIME CONDOR may have revised parts. You should call Condor service at (254) 420-5200 with your serial number to verify supersession. However, most chassis parts (steer cylinder, torque hub) stayed the same through 2005. The decal sheet (Figure 2-1) changed after 2002 when ANSI updated the safety signage requirements. The parts catalog remains factory-accurate for the production range it covers, but always verify against your unit’s serial tag. The Automotive Industry Overview article explains how manufacturers handle parts revisions across model years.
