Schäffer 870T, 870TS 2004 Parts Catalog

If you have ever ordered the wrong hydraulic cylinder seal kit for a Schäffer loader because some online parts list had a transposed digit, you know the frustration. That wasted time and money. This 2004 Parts Catalog from Schäffer itself puts an end to that guesswork. 121 pages of factory-sourced exploded views and part numbers. Nothing from a third-party database that might swap a thread pitch or leave out a bushing. You get the exact same document the dealer pulls up on his terminal.

Hydraulic Systems: Lenkzylinder, Hubzylinder, and More

The table of contents starts with E 1 Lenkzylinder (steering cylinder) and E 2 Hubzylinder (lift cylinder). These are the components that take the most abuse on a loader. The catalog breaks each one into individual parts – pistons, rods, seals, wiper rings – with factory part numbers. E 3 covers the Kompensationszylinder, E 4 the Werkzeugzylinder (attachment cylinder), and E 5 the Teleskopzylinder. If you need a seal kit for the telescopic arm, you are looking at chapter E 5. No guessing.

Working on the hydraulic filter or steering hydraulics? E 6 and E 7 have those. The Arbeitshydraulik split into Vorderwagen (E 8.1) and Teleskoparm (E 8.2). That distinction matters because the front-end hydraulics and the arm hydraulics use different valves and lines. The Steuergerät (control unit) is E 9, Fahrhydraulik (drive hydraulics) is E 10, and Fahrpedale (drive pedals) is E 15. All original Schäffer numbering.

Cab Versions: Which Interior Fits Your Machine?

Schäffer made two cab generations for the 870T during the 2000 model year. The catalog covers both. K 2.x series for Dieteg Typ 870T cab built up to 31.10.2001, and K 3.x series for Dieteg Typ 8082 cab from 01.11.2001 onward. If you have an early machine, chapter K 2.3 gives the front window glass, K 2.4 the rear window, K 2.5 the doors and side windows. Later cabs use K 3.5 for left/right cab door, K 3.6 for heating, K 3.7 for the switch console. Order the wrong glass and it won’t fit the frame. The catalog’s date cut-off is the difference between a sealed cab and a leaky one.

3 Critical Reasons to Use OEM Parts Catalogs

First, aftermarket catalogs rarely include all the small hardware – washers, clips, O-rings – that are necessary to complete a repair. This one does. Second, Schäffer changed parts mid-production; the catalog notes things like Motorhaube/Verkleidung bis 30.11.2001 versus ab 01.12.2001 (chapter E 16.1 and E 16.3). Without those dates you order the wrong hood panel. Third, the exploded drawings show assembly order. A parts catalog is not a service manual, but seeing how the parts nest together prevents ordering a part that cannot be installed without removing something else.

Frame, Drivetrain, and Electrical: What the Chapters Cover

Beyond hydraulics and cab, the catalog goes through E 17 Rahmen (frame), E 18.1 Äußerer Teleskoparm (outer telescopic arm) and E 18.3 Innerer Teleskoparm (inner arm), E 19.1 Battery/Lighting/Additional Weight, E 19.4 Socket on Telescopic Arm, E 21.1 Instrument Panel, E 21.3 Steering Column, E 22 Motorlager/Kupplung (engine mounts/clutch), E 23 Kraftstoffanlage (fuel system), E 24 Auspuffanlage (exhaust system), E 25 Luftfilteranlage (air filter system), E 26 Water/Oil Cooler, E 29 Axles/Drive Shafts/Tires, E 30 Brake System, and E 35 Decals. Every page number is from the original 2004 print. Need the part number for a brake caliper rebuild? Chapter E 30. No need to cross-reference a generic database.

Source Authenticity: Factory Document, Not a Reprint

This is a true OEM Schäffer spare parts list, scanned from the original 2004 binder. AutoRepairManuals holds the largest collection of OEM shop manuals in North America, and this catalog is part of that verified library. The file name itself – Schaffer_870T-870TS_2004_Parts_Catalog_de-en-36814014887.pdf – confirms the bilingual German/English content. There is no better reference for ordering parts on a loader that has been out of production for two decades. Aftermarket compilations often omit the subtle differences between the 870T and 870TS (the S designation indicates a cab version with specific hydraulics). This catalog lists both models.

Does this catalog include engine internal parts like pistons or bearings?

No. The engine section is not listed in the TOC; this covers loader-specific components.

Can I use this catalog to identify parts for a 2003 Schäffer 870T?

The catalog is dated 10/2004 and carries over parts from Modell 2000. For a 2003 machine, most components will match, but check the date cutoffs in chapters E 16.1 vs E 16.3 and the cab chapters. If your machine has a different cab style, you may need the later cab section K 3.x.

How do I read the chapter numbers?

Each chapter starts with a letter and number. “E” stands for the main machine, “K” for the cab. Subchapters like E 16.1 indicate a variant. Reference the two-page table of contents at the front of the PDF to find the exact page where the diagram starts.

What is the difference between the 870T and 870TS in this catalog?

The catalog lists both models on the cover. The TS typically includes a different cab hydraulic circuit and may use different cylinders. The catalog does not show separate chapters for T vs TS; instead, it includes both model numbers in the parts lists. You must verify the machine’s serial number against the part number applicability notes in the text. Pay attention to the date ranges for cab components.

Stop wasting shop time on parts that do not fit. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and start pulling the right part numbers off the first call.
