Manitou MT940L Parts Catalog

Waiting on a part that doesn’t fit because someone ordered by eyeballing it costs you billable time and customer trust. This Manitou MT940L Parts Catalog is the factory document from Manitou North America, printed for the Series 2 MT940L-TW(120)LS telehandler. 420 pages of exploded-view illustrations and OEM part numbers. No aftermarket guessing.

Brake Circuit Assembly: What’s Exploded

Section 6BA103 covers the brake pedal assembly and the entire hydraulic brake circuit. You get the part number for each seal, line, and master cylinder component. Need a front axle brake disc? Go to the Front Axle Brake Discs section (AX1305). The manual breaks down the brake system by subassembly so you order exactly what the drawing shows.

Cylinder Assemblies: 8 Different Configurations

Eight cylinder assemblies are listed: carriage tilting, compensation, frame leveling, two lifting cylinders (P/N 208924 and 224933), and the telescopic cylinder. Each Cylinder assembly has its own page with part numbers for seals, pistons, rods, and hardware. If you’re rebuilding a Cylinder on an MT940L, you need this to get the right seal kit. Without it, you’re buying blind.

Is This Manual a Parts Catalog or a Service Manual?

A parts catalog, not a service repair manual. It tells you what part number goes where, but it doesn’t give you torque specs or removal procedures. For that, you want the Manitou MT940L Operators Manual or the service manual. However, if you’re ordering parts for a rebuild, this saves you the phone call to the dealer having to describe what you need. The numerical part number index in the appendix lets you cross-reference any part.

Get the Right Part Number the First Time

When you’re elbow-deep in an engine swap or brake job, you don’t have time to measure and guess. The Manitou MT940L Parts Catalog gives you the factory part number for every component in the engine block (AP928), cylinder head (AP930), crankshaft (AP929), and even the gasket sets (AP943). Need a water pump? AP944. The illustrations are line drawings with callouts – not photographs, but clear enough to identify the part. If you’re working on a K-D Manitou model, check out the K-D Manitou MVT 1230L MVT1230LC Parts Catalog – 264 Pages for similar coverage.

Engine and Drivetrain Coverage: From Block to Driveshaft

Engine section alone covers 20+ subsystems: camshaft and timing gears, connecting rods, flywheel, oil pump, oil pan, rocker arm assembly, valve cover, water outlet, and exhaust manifold. Drivetrain includes front and rear axle driveshafts (BP159, BP160) and the gearbox-to-transmission shaft (BP131). For older models, the K-D Manitou K5705, K5797, K5755, K1479, K1787 1991 Parts Catalog might be relevant.

For background on diesel engine basics, read this Wikipedia article on diesel engines or check this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for general knowledge. But for specific part numbers, stick with OEM documentation.

Audience and Real-World Use Case

Who needs this? Shop owners who stock parts for a fleet of MT940L telehandlers. DIY owners who want to order the correct brake master cylinder instead of buying three that don’t fit. Beginners who are afraid of ordering the wrong part. This manual eliminates the fear by showing you the exact assembly drawing. You point to the item number, find the corresponding line in the table, and order that part number. No guesswork.

Take the brake pedal assembly: it has a specific spring and microswitch. The part numbers are listed under 6BA103. If you order by the illustration, you get the microswitch part number. Without the catalog, you’d be measuring and hoping.

Why OEM Beats Aftermarket for Parts Catalogs

Aftermarket parts catalogs often combine multiple models into one generic page, leaving you unsure which applies. This is the original Manitou published document – Catalog 54780SP R10-01. It’s specific to the MT940L Series 2. The illustrations are accurate per the factory. The part numbers are current as of the print date. If you need the latest revisions, contact Manitou North America at the Waco, TX address listed on page 1. But for most repairs, this catalog covers everything from the accelerator pedal (6BB78) to the counterweight (6AA182).

Keep a copy in your shop binder. When a tech asks for the part number on a telescopic cylinder seal kit, you hand them page 10CC41.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include wiring diagrams?

No. This is a parts catalog – it shows components and part numbers only. For wiring schematics, get the service manual.

How do I use the numerical part number index?

Each part number in the catalog has a corresponding page reference. You can look up a part number in the appendix (Numerical Part Numbers Index) and it tells you the page where that part appears. For example, if you have a part number from an existing assembly, you can find it in the index and then go to that page to see the exploded view context. This is useful when you have an old part in hand but need to verify its location or find associated components. The index saves time when cross-referencing across different sections like engine, brake, or hydraulics.
