Takeuchi TB35S Compact Excavator Workshop Manual
On a TB35S that spends its life trenching, backfilling, and working around tight sites, this workshop manual is what I’d keep open when the machine stops behaving the way it should. It walks you through how to strip, inspect, and correctly reinstall the major components so the excavator goes back to work without nasty surprises. Say the right track won’t pull under load or the machine moves but won’t build power—this is the book I’d use to trace the issue step by step, verify adjustments, and confirm everything is sealed and aligned before sending it back into the mud.
Applications & Use Cases
- Trace and isolate no-travel or one-side travel faults in the crawler system.
- Follow a structured sequence to remove, inspect, and refit hydraulic components without guesswork.
- Verify linkages, pedals, and controls are correctly adjusted after cab or floor work.
- Inspect wear points on the undercarriage and decide what must be replaced versus reused.
- Perform safe reinstallation checks after engine, pump, or final drive work so nothing is left loose.
FAQ
Q: Can I use this manual on a tablet in the field?
A: Yes, it’s practical to keep it on a tablet; you can zoom diagrams and search text while standing at the machine.
Q: Is it worth printing sections of this manual?
A: Printing the procedures you use often is handy—oil-stained paper on the toolbox beats scrolling with greasy fingers.
Safety Note
Always lock out the machine, support raised components securely, and bleed hydraulic pressure before loosening any lines or fittings.
