Ingersoll-rand RT-706H, RT-708H 2004 Parts Catalog – Factory Documentation

If you’re wrenching on an Ingersoll-rand RT-706H or RT-708H rough terrain forklift and you don’t have the Parts Catalog from 2004, you’re guessing. Guessing on part numbers, guessing on which washer goes where, guessing on torque. That costs you time and money. This is the OEM factory print – 318 pages of exploded diagrams, part lists, and cross-references that match what the assembly line used. Not a third-party reprint, not a scanned mess. The real thing.

Section A – Frame: What the Factory Assumes You Know

Frame sections in aftermarket catalogs often skip the mounting brackets and weldment callouts. This manual doesn’t. Section A covers the frame assembly with item numbers that match the actual production drawings. Need the part for the adjustable lever latch? Page A7. Want to confirm the correct bolt for the steer axle pivot? It’s there. The Parts List on the odd-numbered pages gives you the Comm. Number, quantity per assembly, and any dimension notes. No guesswork. The Word Index in the back lets you find any component by name – for example, “Accelerator Pedal” routes you to page C53. That’s how a real parts catalog works.

Section B – Axle and Tires: OEM Torque and Fitment Data

Tire size, wheel stud torque, axle bearing clearances – all of it is spelled out in Section B. The illustrations show the assembly as a unit, so you can see how the hub, brake, and spindle relate. If you’re rebuilding a drive axle on an RT-706H, you need the exact seal part number. This catalog gives it. And because it’s OEM, the specs haven’t been rounded off or guessed. For reference on the Automotive Industry Overview, factory parts documentation is the foundation of any safe repair.

Section C – Engine and Transmission: Where Most Guesses Fail

The Engine and Transmission section (Section C) is where this manual earns its keep. You get the complete air cleaner assembly including the primary and safety filter elements, the accelerator pedal linkage, and the exhaust installation. The Word Index lists “Air Cleaner” on page C45 – that’s the parts list page. Beneath the illustration, the parts list shows the filter element Comm. Number, quantity, and any notes about service intervals. If you’re swapping a transmission on an RT-708H, you need the correct gasket kit and filter. Aftermarket catalogs often combine models and omit variations. Not this one: it covers both RT-706H and RT-708H with serial number breaks (effective S/N 176247, including S/N 175088, 175617 & 175928). That level of precision matters when the part doesn’t fit.

Section E – Electrical: Wiring That Won’t Leave You Chasing Ghosts

Electrical systems on rough terrain forklifts get hacked up over time. Section E gives you the factory harness layouts, connector callouts, and component locations. Trying to trace a no-start? The parts identification pages show the starter, alternator, and harness assembly as they were installed. No generic wiring diagram that assumes all models are the same. This is the same binder the dealer parts counter uses. Pair it with the Ingersoll Rand T-708H Tow Tractor Parts Manual 2000 if you work on the tow variant. The electrical section in that manual follows the same numbering scheme.

Section F – Masts and Carriages & Section H – Hydraulics

Mast chains, carriage weldments, hydraulic cylinders, hoses, and fittings – Sections F and H cover everything from the lift cylinder seals to the tilt control valve. The parts list includes note columns for dimensions, so you can verify hose length before ordering. For anyone who’s ever received a wrong hydraulic fitting because a third-party catalog used an approximate description, this is the cure. The Numerical Index lets you find any Comm. Number instantly. And the Parts Warranty section at the back tells you what coverage applies to genuine Ingersoll-Rand parts.

3 Reasons to Choose OEM Documentation Over Aftermarket

First: the part numbers are verified against the manufacturer’s current stock. Second: the exploded views show the exact assembly sequence – something aftermarket drawings often simplify incorrectly. Third: the Word Index and Numerical Index let you search both ways, by name or by part number. This 318-page catalog includes all that. If you need a companion manual for other equipment, check the Ingersoll Rand SD 70, 77TF Vibratory Compactors Parts Manual or the Ingersoll-Rand ECM-580 Hydraulic Crawler Drill P&L. Both use the same indexing system.

Does this parts catalog include torque specs for bolts?

Yes, where applicable. Torque values appear in the notes column of the parts list next to bolts and nuts that require a specific tightening specification. For example, wheel lug torque is listed in Section B. If a torque spec isn’t listed, the note will refer you to the service manual. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual, but it gives you the factory numbers you need to order correctly.

Can I use this for an RT-706H with a serial number before 176143?

This manual covers effective with S/N 176247, including S/N 175088, 175617 & 175928. For earlier machines, some parts may match but check the Word Index for superseded numbers.

You’ve got a forklift to keep running. The Ingersoll-rand RT-706H, RT-708H 2004 Parts Catalog puts factory-correct part numbers and exploded views on your bench. Access the Factory Manual and stop cycling parts because the catalog guessed wrong.
