Manitou MLT940-120 Parts Catalog

I’ve seen too many guys order a brake caliper seal kit off some aftermarket cross-reference list and end up with a part that sorta fits – and then they wonder why the machine pulls left under full pedal. If you’re wrenching on a Manitou MLT940-120, you do not want to guess. This is the actual OEM Parts Catalog, directly from Manitou North America. Not a reprint. Not a compilation of blurry scans. 832 pages of factory part numbers, illustrations, and mounting codes that match what Manitou stamped on the axle housings and cylinders. You get the same document the dealer parts counter uses.

I’ll tell you what sets this apart from the cheap stuff: every component is tied to an illustration code and a page number. Need a front brake disc for axle 244464? That’s section AX1477 on page 561. Need the RH lifting cylinder assembly? Page 297. No flipping through a generic index hoping the numbers line up. The TOC alone runs three full pages of alphabetical entries – AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM through DRIVE AXLE REDUCTION GEAR, REAR. And they cover every axle variant the MLT940-120 shipped with: axles 244464, 246850, 255000, 256309 for the front, and 244449, 246851, 255001, 254999 for the rear. If you’re rebuilding a brake hydraulic circuit, you’ve got two separate mounting iterations – first mounting on page 111, second on page 119. That level of granularity saves you a return trip to the parts house.

832 Pages of Factory Specifications

Eight hundred thirty-two pages. That’s not a marketing number – that’s physical thickness. The catalog breaks down every major system: engine (alternator installation, camshaft timing gear, crankshaft assembly), driveline (drive axle differential, reduction gear, pivot, housing), hydraulics (boom extending cylinder, compensating cylinder, leveling, tilting – both first and second mountings), and cab assembly (door, heater blower, internal components, misc. parts I, II, III). You also get the air conditioning system (page 779) and decals with cards for two mountings. If you’ve ever tried to order a decal without an OEM part number, you know why that matters.

Brake System Coverage: 8 Separate Listings

The Brake category on this MLT940-120 isn’t a single page of generic callouts. You get eight dedicated sections: brake hydraulic circuit (first and second mountings), brake lever assembly (first mounting), brake lever installation, and then the drive axle brake disc – split by front and rear, each covering four different axle numbers. That’s eight sets of exploded diagrams with Manitou part numbers. No cross-reference lookup required. You pull the axle tag, find the matching section, and order the exact disc or hydraulic line. That’s how you keep a telehandler in service instead of waiting on the wrong rotor.

OEM vs Aftermarket: Why This Catalog Matters

I keep aftermarket catalogs in the shop for reference – but I’d never order a critical brake or hydraulic part from one. They swap in generic part numbers that look close but miss by a thread pitch or a seal lip geometry. This Manitou MLT940-120 Parts Catalog is the real deal: printed by Manitou North America, catalog number 547859P, R10-06. Every illustration code (like 2AA110 for A/C or 10CA48 for LH lifting cylinder) ties back to the factory bill of materials. If you’re ordering parts for a 3-E2 Series Turbo machine, you get the exact revisions Manitou shipped. Want to double-check the diesel engine specifics? Read this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for background, but use the catalog for the part itself.

How to Identify the Correct Part Number

Flip to the alphabetical contents – it’s on page 3 of the PDF. Find the system you’re working on, note the illustration code, then go to the page listed. Every exploded view has numbered callouts. Cross-reference the number with the parts list next to the diagram. That gives you the OEM part number, quantity, and description. Torque specs are not in this parts catalog – you need the corresponding service manual for that. But if you’re ordering a crankshaft assembly (AP1507, page 441) or a drive axle differential (AX1475 for front axle 244464, page 547), the part numbers here are 100% factory.

One tip I hammer into my guys: always verify axle serial numbers before ordering brake discs or differential components. The MLT940-120 used multiple axle configurations. The catalog accounts for all of them – but only if you check which axle you have. Don’t assume because the machine is a 2010 that it has axle 255000. Pull the tag.

Cylinder Assemblies and Drive Axle Components

Hydraulic cylinders are a big-ticket item on these machines. The catalog includes separate entries for boom extending, compensating, leveling, LH lifting, RH lifting, and tilting (first and second mounting). Each one has its own illustration code and page. Same for drive axle components: housings, differentials, reduction gears, pivots, and brake discs – all split by front/rear and by specific axle numbers. If you’re rebuilding a front drive axle from a 246850, you get sections AX1640 (housing), AX1641 (differential), AX1642 (reduction gear), AX1643 (brake disc), and AX1645 (pivot). That’s five separate diagrams for one axle variant. You can’t get that level of detail from a generic catalog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specifications for reassembly?

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

What if my MLT940-120 has an axle number not listed in the TOC?

Call Manitou North America Parts at 800-425-3727. The catalog covers eight axle variants (four front, four rear). If yours isn’t listed, it’s likely a later production run. Manitou updates manuals without notice – the catalog you get from us is the current R10-06 release. For non-listed axles, contact the dealer.
