Takeuchi TB020 Compact Excavator Workshop Manual (WD3-101E1) (SN 1203001-)

On a little TB020 that spends its days trenching, grading, and working around tight sites, this workshop manual is what I’d pull out when a job stops and the clock is ticking. It walks you through how to strip, repair, and correctly put back major components so the machine goes back to digging straight and tracking true. For example, if the boom starts drifting or the swing feels sloppy, this is the guide I’d use to trace the fault through the hydraulic system, inspect the hardware, and verify everything is reassembled safely.

Applications & Use Cases

• Systematic hydraulic repairs: follow step-by-step sequences to isolate leaks, replace components, and bleed lines properly.
• Undercarriage work: use the procedures to inspect, adjust, and reinstall track components so they run straight and don’t walk off.
• Engine and drivetrain service: trace hard-start or power-loss complaints and refit parts in the right order with correct alignments.
• Control and linkage checks: inspect pins, bushings, and cylinders, then reassemble so the bucket cuts level and responds smoothly.
• Post-repair verification: run through functional checks to test that all movements are safe and stable before the machine goes back to work.

FAQ

Q: Can I keep this manual on a tablet in the field?

A: Yes, it’s practical to use digitally; you can zoom diagrams and search text while working beside the machine.

Q: Is it worth printing sections of this manual?

A: Printing key procedures is handy when you’re in a dirty area or don’t want tools and oil near your device.

Safety Note
