Komatsu FD100, FD115, FD135, FD150E, FD160E Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a hydraulic hose or a gasket kit for a Komatsu FD-series forklift and got the wrong part, you already know the pain. A twelve-dollar seal can idle a 10,000-pound lift for three days while you chase down the correct part number. That’s billable time you don’t get back. This 424-page OEM parts catalog eliminates that guessing. It’s the same binder Komatsu dealers pull from when you call.

424 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

Every page in this book came from Komatsu Utility Co., Ltd. – not a third-party reprint. The first page identifies it as the OPTIONAL PARTS supplement for models FD100, FD115, FD135, FD150E, and FD160E, serial numbers 7001 and up. Page 2 breaks down each model suffix (FD100-8-0P, FD115-8-0P, etc.) with their specific serial number ranges. That matters because Komatsu revised components mid-production. A starter motor from an early FD135 won’t fit a late FD135 without checking the serial number column. This catalog shows you exactly which parts apply to your machine.

How the Figure-and-List System Saves Your Job

Open this catalog and you’ll see a left-page illustration (even page numbers) with index numbers pointing to each component. The right page lists the part number, description, quantity per machine, and the applicable serial number. The Foreword on page 3 explains how to read it: “When ordering a spare part, specify the part number, part name, and quantity required, and also specify your machine model code, machine serial number, engine serial number and the service meter reading.” That’s not optional – that’s the difference between getting the right part next Tuesday and getting the wrong one next Friday.

The symbols are critical. An open square means the part below can replace the one above. A diamond means the part is an interchange. A square with a diagonal means both parts are interchangeable. If you ignore those symbols, you might order a discontinued part. The catalog flags that for you.

Audience: Fleet Mechanics, Shop Owners, and Serious DIY

This parts catalog isn’t written for a hobbyist rebuilding a lawnmower. It’s for the guy who runs a six-bay shop and needs to get a FD150E back on the dock by noon. It’s for the fleet manager who keeps six FD100s running in a distribution center. The language is direct – “ELEMENT ASSEMBLY, AIR CLEANER” followed by its sub-components. No fluff, no filler. If you’re comfortable reading an exploded view and cross-referencing a serial number, this manual is your tool. If you need a service manual with torque specs, that’s a different document – but you can find related manuals like Komatsu FD100-160E-8 Parts Catalog for the service side, or Komatsu Forklift FD100/115-7 Operation & Maintenance for daily operation procedures.

Why Aftermarket Parts Catalogs Cost You Money

A PDF you find on a forum might list a part number that was superseded five years ago. The OEM catalog doesn’t have that problem. The data here is original factory print, verified against Komatsu’s engineering releases. Want to understand the interchangeability codes? The symbols and codes section explains each one. Want to verify a hydraulic part from a different model? This catalog covers FD100 through FD160E, so you can often cross-reference common components. That saves you from ordering a part that looks right but doesn’t fit. If you’ve ever dealt with aftermarket documentation that mislabeled a seal or omitted a washer, you’ll appreciate the precision here.

FAQ

Does this catalog cover engine internal parts like pistons and rings?

Yes – the engine groups are included, but remember this is a parts catalog, not a service manual. You’ll get part numbers and quantities, not assembly torque specs or clearance measurements. For example, if you need a piston ring set for your FD150E, the catalog lists the part number and quantity per machine. You still need the service manual for installation instructions.

Can I use this for a FD100 with a serial number below 7001?

No. This edition starts at serial number 7001. Earlier machines use a different parts book. Order the correct range or you’ll get the wrong part numbers.

You’ve got a forklift that needs a water pump, a steering cylinder seal, or a complete cylinder head assembly. You can’t afford to guess. Access the Factory Manual and get the exact part number from the source Komatsu dealers use. Your parts counter will thank you, and your machine will be back in service faster. For additional reference, FAI 67-80DT Hydraulic Steering Piston Parts List may help if you’re working on aftermarket steering components, but for genuine Komatsu parts, this catalog is the final word. And if you want the engineering background on these engines, this Wikipedia article on diesel engines covers the theory – but the practical, money-saving part numbers are right here.
