Takeuchi TB025 Parts Catalog – 255 Pages of Factory Part Data

If you’re rebuilding a Takeuchi TB025 compact excavator, you need the exact part number. Not a “close enough” number from an aftermarket website that copies photocopies of photocopies. The factory Takeuchi TB025 Parts Catalog runs 255 pages of exploded diagrams and parts lists. That’s 255 pages of the actual part numbers Takeuchi used on the assembly line. I’ve seen guys order a hydraulic hose based on a generic catalog and end up with a fitting that doesn’t match the flare. That costs you a day of waiting and a return shipping label. Don’t be that guy.

This manual covers serial numbers 1253001 through 1253918. Page 2 tells you exactly where to write your machine serial number and engine number before you order anything. That info is critical because Takeuchi changed part numbers across production runs. If you skip that step, you’re guessing. And guessing gets you a box full of parts that don’t fit. The Automotive Industry Overview may be interesting background, but for this machine you need the factory-to-factory data. The Automotive Industry Overview is a general topic; this catalog is specific to your TB025.

Paint Color Codes and Part Numbers

Page 3 of the catalog lists the exact paint colors for each component. Red for covers and protector, gray-brown for floor plate and levers, brown gray for lower machinery, gray for engine cover and upper frame. Each paint code includes a spray paint part number. If you’re touching up a scratched cover, you don’t eyeball the shade at the auto parts store. You order the factory-specified paint number. That makes the difference between a machine that looks professional and one that looks like a patchwork quilt.

How to Read the Exploded Diagram?

Page 4 explains the layout. Upper half of each sheet is the exploded view, lower half is the parts list. The diagram shows parts in the same orientation as the general drawing of the machine. That matters when you’re trying to identify a bracket or a seal buried behind the swing motor. The part numbers with a hyphen (like “*-*”) indicate items that belong to a sub-assembly. Without that manual, you might order the wrong sub-component and end up with a box of loose hardware instead of the complete assembly you need.

Order Parts the Right Way – Include Serial Numbers

The catalog gives an example on page 1: machine model TB025, serial number, part number 2305, description “hose”, quantity 2 pcs. That’s the level of detail required. When you call a dealer or plug numbers into an online ordering system, you must provide the machine serial number (from the plate on the upper structure). If you don’t, the system may default to a superseded part. I’ve had to reorder a hydraulic filter because the parts counter gave me the old design. The factory catalog prevents that.

255 Pages of OEM Part Data

255 pages. That means every nut, bolt, seal, hose, valve, and panel is accounted for. The catalog includes not only the part numbers but also the quantity per machine. For example, if you need a set of track chain bolts, the catalog tells you how many per side. No guesswork. The manual is bilingual (English/Japanese) but the part numbers are universal. And because it’s the original factory document, the part numbers match what Takeuchi ships from the factory. Aftermarket parts catalogs often have errors – wrong digits, missing supersessions, discontinued numbers listed as current. This manual is the source.

Serial Number Verification: Why It Matters

Advertised serial number range is 1253001 to 1253918. If your machine falls outside that range, you need a different version of this catalog. But for those serial numbers, this is the definitive parts reference. I keep a copy in my shop binder next to the service manual. When I have a TB025 on a lift, I pull this catalog before I pick up the phone to order parts. It saves me the time of chasing wrong numbers and the headache of returns. The access from AutoRepairManuals gives you a searchable PDF – you can type a part number and jump to the diagram instantly. That beats flipping through paper pages on a greasy workbench.

Factory Documentation vs. Aftermarket Catalogs

I’ve seen aftermarket parts catalogs that claim to be “full coverage” but omit the paint codes and the sub-assembly cross-references. This is the real OEM publication. It came from Takeuchi MFG. Co., Ltd. The pages are scanned from the original print run – not a third-party reprint with blurred diagrams. If you’ve ever tried to read a fuzzy part number on a knockoff catalog, you know the value of a clean, legible original. The difference is time wasted vs. time saved.

Who Needs This Parts Catalog?

If you own a TB025 and do your own repairs, you need this. If you work for a rental company or a construction equipment shop that services these machines, you need it more. Beginners always underestimate how many parts they should order – they forget the seals, the O-rings, the crush washers. This catalog lists every separate part. For the home garage enthusiast who bought a used TB025 from an auction, this manual is the difference between a successful rebuild and a pile of mismatched hardware. It doesn’t tell you how to rebuild the final drive (that’s in the service manual), but it tells you exactly which bearing kit to order.

Is this manual a service/repair manual?

No. This is a parts catalog only. It lists part numbers and diagrams, not repair procedures.

Does it include torque specifications?

No. Torque values are in the workshop manual. Use the service manual for disassembly torque specs.

Can I use this to order parts for any TB025 serial number?

It covers serial numbers 1253001 to 1253918. If your machine is outside that range, you need a different version. Always check the serial number plate before ordering. The manual on page 2 has a space to record your machine’s serial number. Fill it out before you start ordering. For example, if your machine is serial 1254000, this catalog may still have many common parts, but some hydraulic fittings changed. Contact the dealer or use a later edition. The factory updates part numbers frequently, so you want the catalog that matches your production date.

What if I need parts for a different Takeuchi model?

We have other parts catalogs. Check our site for TB030, TB035, and TL26 manuals. Each one is factory direct.

Stop ordering parts blind. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and get the real part numbers from the only source that matters – Takeuchi.
