Manitou MLT 845, MLT 940 2003 Parts Catalog

If you are digging into a Manitou MLT 845 or MLT 940 without the factory parts catalog, you are gambling with your wallet and your time. I have seen guys order three different filters because some aftermarket list had the wrong cross-reference. That stops here. This is the actual OEM Manitou MLT 845, MLT 940 2003 Parts Catalog – 976 pages of part numbers, exploded views, and identification data straight from the manufacturer. No reprints, no scanned third-party junk. You get the same book the dealer uses.

976 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

This catalog covers both the MLT 845-120 LSU Série 3-E2 and the MLT 940 L – 120 LSU Série 3-E2. That is the full range of machines built in 2003. The document is interactive – you can jump through sections without flipping paper. Every part has an illustration reference and part number. Need the charge pressure filter cartridge? The book lists it: “CARTOUCHE FILTRE A AIR” with cross-part numbers like 4 AA 348 (appears twice in the index). You are not guessing whether a Wix or Baldwin fits – you are ordering the factory part.

Filter and Filtration Components: Exact Matches

The catalog dedicates full pages to filtration. You get the air filter cartridge, security air filter cartridge, alternator belt, fan belt, hydraulic oil filter cartridge, transmission oil filter, engine oil filter, filling plug filter, cyclonic pre-filter, fuel filter, hydraulic return oil filter cartridge, and hydraulic pressure oil filter cartridge. Each one is listed with its part number and the assembly it belongs to. Page references are embedded in the interactive PDF – you can look up the hydraulic return filter on the screen in seconds.

Tire and Wheel Specifications

Wheel and tire data comes straight from the factory drawing. The catalog shows the standard tires: DUNLOP 440/80-24 T37 158B TL and BF GOODRICH 400/80-24 156A8 TL. If your machine has a different tire, you can check the part number against what is listed. No more crawling under the machine to read sidewall codes when the tire is off. The manual also lists the rim references for each configuration.

Hydraulic Circuit Strainers: Critical for High-Pressure Systems

One of the most overlooked details on these telehandlers is the principal circuit strainer. The catalog calls it “CREPINE DU CIRCUIT PRINCIPAL” and it appears twice in the part list – a good sign that there are two locations. You can see the exact cutaway and dimensions in the illustration. If you skip replacing that strainer on schedule, you risk contaminating the pump. The part number is printed right in the book. Trust that, not some generic filter shop number.

Why OEM Documentation Beats Aftermarket

Aftermarket catalogs often consolidate multiple years and models into one list. That is how you end up with a part that fits but causes a clearance issue or a slightly different thread pitch. This parts catalog is year-specific (2003) and model-specific (MLT 845 and MLT 940). this Wikipedia article on diesel engines explains the basics, but the OEM catalog gives you the exact filter, gasket, and seal specifications that keep the engine running. If you need to understand engine theory, refer to this Wikipedia article on diesel engines. But for part numbers, stick with the factory book.

Who Needs This Catalog?

Shop owners with a fleet of Manitou telehandlers. Independent mechanics who service MLTs regularly. Owners who do their own maintenance and want to order the right part the first time. If you work on these machines more than once a year, the cost of this catalog pays for itself in one job you don’t have to redo because of a wrong part. The PDF works on any device – tablets, phones, laptops. I keep mine on a USB drive in the toolbox.
