Manitou MLT940-120 Parts Catalog – 590-Page Factory Reference

Look, I’ve watched senior techs waste an afternoon because they trusted an aftermarket parts cross-reference that listed a wrong filter thread. That doesn’t happen when you have the real papers in front of you. Manitou MLT940-120 Parts Catalog is 590 pages of OEM part diagrams and part numbers straight from the factory. No guessing, no third-party interpretation. This is what the dealer uses.

Engine System Parts and Diagrams

When you need to chase down a coolant hose or an alternator belt, you don’t want to flip through generic diagrams. Section one covers the turbocharged LSU engine with exploded views. On page 4 you’ll find the air filter cartridge and security cartridge listed by factory number – Dunlop tires included for the steer axle. That level of detail saves you from ordering a filter that doesn’t seat right. The alternator belt and fan belt part numbers are right there. If you want background on diesel engine theory, read this Wikipedia article on diesel engines.

What Does the Hydraulic Section Cover?

Hydraulic system failures come from using the wrong strainer or O-ring. This manual breaks down the main circuit strainer, the hydraulic oil filter cartridge, and the transmission oil filter. You get the factory references for each – including the filling plug filter. I’ve seen a shop put the wrong strainer in and burn a pump in 200 hours. That’s avoidable. For a primer on turbocharger operation, check this Wikipedia article on diesel engines.

590 Pages of Factory Reference Material

This isn’t a repair manual. It’s a parts catalog – pure reference. Every page is a set of exploded diagrams with callouts and a matching parts list table. You need to find a hydraulic oil filter cartridge? The index leads you to the correct section. The catalog covers the MLT940-120 LSU Turbo Series 3-E3. If your machine matches that serial range, every nut, bolt, and seal is listed. The PDF is searchable, so you can type a part number you suspect and verify it against the diagram. That method has saved my shop hours of trial-and-error swapping.

Transmission and Driveline: Full Breakdown

For other Manitou models, the K-D Manitou MVT 1230L MVT1230LC Parts Catalog – 264 Pages covers a different series. Older equipment like the K-D Manitou K5705, K5797, K5755, K1479, K1787 1991 Parts Catalog is also available if you work on vintage machines. But for this specific telehandler, the driveline section includes the transmission oil filter, differential parts, and wheel studs. The tire options are listed: Dunlop 440/80-24 T37 158B TL and BF Goodrich 400/80-24 156A8 TL. You don’t guess tire size – it’s written in the manual.

Get the Right Part Numbers the First Time

Every time I see a return invoice for “wrong part,” I think of the time wasted. This manual gives you the exact factory number. If you need engine-specific breakdowns, check the Manitou MLT940-120 Parts Catalog – Section: Engine, Complete, Misc. for detailed diagrams. Cross-reference your serial number against the catalog’s index, order from your dealer using the number printed there, and the part arrives the next morning. That’s the difference between a factory catalog and a third-party PDF.

FAQ

Is this the same as a service repair manual?

No. This parts catalog contains only part numbers and exploded views. It does not include repair procedures.

How do I use this catalog to order parts for my MLT940-120?

You need to locate your machine’s serial number and cross-reference it with the index in the catalog. Each section groups parts by assembly. Find the diagram, note the part number, and call your Manitou dealer. The catalog includes a parts list table with quantities and variations for different series (e.g., Series 3-E3). If you skip this step, you might end up with a hydraulic filter that doesn’t match the thread pitch. I’ve seen that happen more than once.

Stop guessing which part fits. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and get the real references.
