TCM FB10, FB15, FB17 Parts Catalog

I’ve been wrenching on forklifts for longer than some of you have been alive, and I’ll tell you straight: the number one reason a job goes sideways is the wrong part. You pull something, order what you think is the right piece, then wait three days for a box that doesn’t fit. That’s wasted billable time. Aftermarket parts catalogs? Half of them are scanned from someone else’s copy, with missing page numbers and blurry diagrams. That’s why you want a TCM FB10, FB15, FB17 Parts Catalog that came from the factory – 316 pages of exploded diagrams and part numbers that match what TCM stamped on the metal.

This isn’t a repair manual. It’s a parts catalog. But if you’re rebuilding a drive motor, replacing a pump motor, or chasing a wire harness short, you need the exact part number before you touch a tool. Page 2 tells you how to order correctly: specify model name, specification, serial number, part number, and quantity. Simple? Yeah, until you skim it and order a battery case for an EXB when you have an EXH. Use the book.

Drive Motor and Pump Motor: Fig. 1 & 2 Coverage

Section opens with the drive motor (FIG.NO. 1) and pump motor (FIG.NO. 2). Each figure gives you an exploded view with callouts. The part number, shape, name, and record are clear – that’s verbatim from the intro. If you need a replacement motor for your FB10, FB15, or FB17, you’ll find it here. The diagrams separate variations by battery type: EXB, EXC, EXE, EXH, EXN. Miss that detail and you’ll order the wrong commutator or brush holder.

Does It Cover Electrical Systems? Yes – Wire Harness, Lamps, Buzzers

Forklift electricals are a rat’s nest if you don’t have a map. This TCM catalog covers wire harness (FIG.NO. 3), head lamp & front combination lamp (FIG.NO. 4), rear combination lamp (FIG.NO. 5), license lamp (FIG.NO. 6), back buzzer & chime (FIG.NO. 7), and more. There’s even a section for revolving light [PLY][RLR] (FIG.NO. 11). If you’re chasing a lighting failure on an FB15, you can pinpoint the exact socket or reflector. No guesswork, just a fig number and a part number.

Ordering Parts Correctly: Factory Procedure on Page 2

Flip to page 2. The manual explicitly states: “Always use TCM’s Genuine Parts. We cannot guarantee any loss or trouble attributable to other parts than ours.” That’s not marketing fluff – that’s a warranty statement. The catalog uses standard abbreviations: ASSY for assembly, RH/LH for right/left, AR for quantity required, * for kit, T for thickness. Know these symbols before you call the dealer. The machine serial number is on the nameplate. Don’t skip that step. I’ve seen a tech order a steering shaft cover for an FB17 with a different axle support because he ignored the serial number range.

Source Validity – OEM TCM Documentation vs Aftermarket Reprints

Aftermarket parts catalogs often re-paginate, lose figure clarity, and omit notes like “Materials and specifications subject to change without notice.” This TCM catalog is a direct OEM PDF, 316 pages, with the original Japanese-English layout. The chassis section alone spans 97 figure numbers covering everything from the overhead guard (FIG.NO. 45) to the fire extinguisher (FIG.NO. 96). Don’t trust a photocopy of a photocopy. Get the factory file.

Audience Fit – Who Needs This 316-Page Catalog

If you’re a home garage enthusiast with an old TCM FB10 you’re restoring, you need this. If you run a six-bay shop like mine and you see FB15s and FB17s come through weekly, you need this. Even a full-time forklift mechanic who thinks he knows every part by heart should have the book open when he writes the PO. It saves money and time because you order right the first time. The catalog covers battery cases, drive units, meter panels, electric units (side, front guard, relay), transformer, charger panels, cables, drive axle, wheel brake, steering wheel unit, gear box, steering shaft cover, drag link, steering axle, axle support, humpet, wheels, EPS actuator, overhead guard, rear pipe, lamp bracket, head guard parts, pedals, master cylinder, brake pipes, brake levers, frame, balance weight, front guard, bonnet, battery covers, floor boards, under plates, seat, pump units, control valves, lift/tilt valve sections, oil tanks, hydraulic lines, tilt cylinders, decals, service tools, front glass, canopy, fire extinguisher, and battery lifting.

That’s a lot of hardware. But the catalog is structured by figure number, so you jump to the section you need. For example, if you’re rebuilding the control valve on a 35V system, you’ve got FIG.NO. 67 and 68. For 45V, FIG.NO. 69. For 55V, FIG.NO. 70. The valve control diagrams (FIG.NO. 76–79) show linkage and knobs. No guesswork.

FAQ

Can I use this part catalog to repair the forklift?

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It will not tell you how to remove the pump motor or torque the tilt cylinder bolts. It gives you part numbers and exploded diagrams for ordering correct components. For repair procedures, get the corresponding TCM service manual.

Does it include part numbers for the FB10 battery case?

Yes. Check FIG.NO. 14 (BATTERY CASE) and FIG.NO. 13 (BATTERY) which covers EXB, EXC, EXE, EXH, EXN variants. The part number, shape, and name are listed with AR (quantity required) and any thickness indicators.
