Takeuchi TB1200 Parts Catalog – 83 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

I’ve seen more parts catalogs than most techs have had coffee. And I can tell you right now – when you’re rebuilding a compact excavator undercarriage or chasing a hydraulic leak, the wrong part number costs you a full day and a chunk of the customer’s wallet. That’s why this Takeuchi TB1200 Parts Catalog sits on my bench. Not a reprint. Not a third-party compilation. An original OEM factory document, 83 pages, no generic diagrams. If you’re working on a TB1200 and you don’t have this, you’re flying blind.

Track Undercarriage: OEM Part Numbers for Lower Machine

Pages 2 through 4 of the index break down the entire lower machine – lower frame, track shoe, carrier roller, track roller, front idler, track tension, track gearbox, blade, and lower piping. Each figure (Fig. 01 through Fig. 09) has a list of part numbers with illustration and list columns marked IL/LI. If you need a track shoe for a TB1200AL, you get the exact factory part, not some cross‑reference that might fit. That’s the difference between a job that stays together and one that comes back on a hook.

Engine & Accessories – Fig. 15 Coverage

The upper machine section starts at Fig. 10 with slew gearbox and turntable, but the part you’ll most likely call in on is the engine and its accessories (Fig. 15). This catalog shows the Takeuchi factory configuration for the TB1200AL – control box, engine control, electricals. No aftermarket redraw. The part numbers are original. If you’ve ever tried to order a fuel tank (Fig. 26‑1 and 26‑2) using a generic number and got the wrong one because of a serial number break – you know why this matters.

83 Pages of Factory Indexing – What’s in Each Section

Let me break it down for you because the TOC tells the story. Lower machine: 9 figures. Upper machine is split into four sub‑sections: Upper Machine 1 (slew, turntable, control levers), Upper Machine 2 (engine, control box, engine control, electricals), Upper Machine 3 (grease piping, valve mounting, piping), Upper Machine 4 (pump drives, hydraulic tank, fuel tank, covers, seat, canopy). Then the hoe attachment – 6 figures including hoe, bucket, piping – and hydraulic devices with swivel joint, control valves, brake & D.S. valve. Cylinders from boom to swing (Fig. 40‑1 through 44), traction motor, main and sub hydraulic pumps. Options like triangular shoe, ejector bucket, cabin, heater. That’s 83 pages of detail. And the index on page 5 shows every part with illustration and list codes – D for appropriate, A for retouched, X for newly drawn.

Identify Cylinder Seals with Fig. 40‑1 – No Guesswork

When you’re rebuilding a boom cylinder on a TB1200, you don’t need a vague “seal kit for similar model.” You need the OEM part for Fig. 40‑1 Boom Cylinder. The catalog gives you the exact list – no cross‑reference websites. That saves you the eight hours of pulling the cylinder, finding the seals are wrong, and waiting two days for the right ones. Safety tip: using a non‑OEM seal in a swing cylinder (Fig. 44) can cause uncontrolled dropping. This catalog lets you order the correct item the first time.

Hydraulics Section – Pumps, Valves, and Motors

Starting at Fig. 36 Swivel Joint through Fig. 47 Hydraulic Pump, Sub, you get the full hydraulic component breakdown. Main control valve (Fig. 37), sub control valve (Fig. 38‑1/38‑2) with regional variants (China vs France & U.S.A.), brake & D.S. valve (Fig. 39). Traction motor (Fig. 45) – if you’ve ever had a track motor fail on a slope, you respect having the right part number. The hydraulic pump main and sub (Fig. 46, 47) are indexed with IL/LI codes. You can verify the pump drive configuration (Fig. 23 Main, Fig. 24 Blade) before you order.

3 Reasons to Stick with OEM Documentation

First: aftermarket parts catalogs often redraw figures and drop part numbers that don’t match the factory supersession. Second: this OEM catalog includes remarks like “For France #253~#376, For U.S.A. #382~” – that’s serial number break info you won’t find in a generic PDF. Third: the illustration quality is factory original – you see exactly how the Takeuchi engineers designed the assembly. That matters when you’re ordering a seat (Fig. 28) or a heater (Fig. 52) for an optioned machine. If you want to read more about the importance of OEM documentation in the Automotive Industry Overview, take a look.

The Takeuchi TL140 Parts Catalog – 457 Pages of OEM Parts Indexing is also a solid reference if you work on multiple models.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog – it lists part numbers and exploded views. Torque specs are in the service repair manual. Don’t use a parts catalog to guess a bolt torque.

Can I use this for a TB1200AL with a different serial number?

Yes. The index notes serial number breaks for specific figures – for example, fuel tank figures split at #27–#366 and #367–. Check the remarks column on each page to match your machine’s serial range.

How many pages cover the engine and electricals?

Four figures: Fig. 15 Engine & Accessories, Fig. 16 Control Box, Fig. 17 Engine Control, Fig. 18 Electricals. That’s roughly 8 pages of content.

Are the part numbers still current for a 2025 machine?

Takeuchi supersedes parts over time. This catalog is based on the original TB1200AL model with Modf. No. A 28 92. You should verify current availability with your dealer using the part numbers listed. The catalog gives you the starting point.

Look, I don’t push aftermarket stuff. If you’re ordering parts for a TB1200, you want the factory numbers. This 83-page catalog is the real deal – original Takeuchi documentation. Access the Factory Manual and get it on your tablet or printed out. You’ll thank me when the undercarriage parts arrive and they actually fit.
