i really need a copy of that service manual too. I've been running my sdk8 for about 500 hours in the last year but the charging system is not working. I would like to get that fixed up.

hyd oil
You asked what type of hyd oil to use! When i got my sdk8 it had motor oil in and it worked good. When i was changing filter i thought i should change it back to automatic type F fluid as the sticker on the side of the machine states. That oil is very expensive. After i did that it leaks much worse. Think i'll be changing back to motor oil, at the next oil change.

I too have a SDK8 that I just acquired. I am having a problem with the pedals being stuck so the bucket will not curl back up. The pedals both move together instead of independently. I will also change the filters and will use the type f since it seems that was in there before. I'm glad to find others who run this unit. I would also be interested in the pdf of the manual.
There is a cable that runs from the safety bar to the pedals ,that lock the pedals .This will be your problem i think.. Ian .
Was just noticing the number of folks on here that are after the pdf manual for the Toyota.
Had a quick look on the net and came up with a link that appears to have the material. (see below)
Hope it is the one you need. Sure wish I could find one for a Case 1845C.

I was recommended by Mobil expert in Aussie (yeh hard to believe!) to use Mobil AgriSuper for all the oils in the skidsteer - the hydraulic filter part number is
NAPA 1551
WIX 51551
DONALDSON P551551
Its a pretty standard 10 micron type hydraulic filter - dont use car filters!

Has anyone's hydraulic oil been black as the ace of spades?? either mine has an internal leak from hyd pump or some sod has put used engine oil in it.

I just bought an SDK8 and found this thread while looking for info, and it was a great help! I needed the wiring diagram in the manual to get it running.
I haven't researched it enough yet to know what year mine is, but it has the 2J diesel engine in it.
It had sat for several years after the man that owned it had passed away. the last person to try and start it may have done something wrong and fried something because there was no response when you turned the key on. No voltage. I swapped batteries, no change. Checked all fuses, all ok. Followed the wires to see if mice had chewed them, all good. We ended up running a jumper wire from the battery to the ignition switch and spliced it with the "battery" wire from the harness to energize everything else on that circuit. Turned the key and the panel came to life! But still would not start. I unplugged the starter relay since it was not clicking when the key was turned and applied voltage from my jumper directly to the plug to engage the starter and it fired up!
Before adding the jumper, we tested for voltage along the harness and I had 12 volts at the ignition switch but only when the "battery" wire was disconnected. Connect it to the switch and voltage was 6. The switch works now with the jumper so I don't think the switch is bad. I'm going to open up the harness and work my way back and see what I find, maybe it's just a corroded connection somewhere. And get a new starter relay.
I did notice a bit of banging from the left front corner when it turns. Not really jerking or a vibration while it was banging, but it's only from the left corner, behind the wheel. It doesn't matter which directing you turn, or which lever you push or pull. Going forward or back it's fine in a straight line, but as soon as you turn, bang bang bang. Like a loud knock. Sounds like someone is hitting the metal with a sledge hammer. Would a bad axle bearing or chain sprocket cause that noise?
Does anyone know of a parts list for this machine? A break down of all the parts with part numbers?
Thanks for the help!
I'll post pictures at some point.

See attachments, I believe all Australian 4SDK-8's are the "H" model.

For a cheap skid steer you are beter of buying a cheap Deere Newholland Case Bobcat Ghel of the same years Toyota Skid Steers are to rare here to be a wise by they are almost grey market but they are not

Rare???
I don't know where "somewhere" is exactly, but your name hiluxman suggests you are aussie.
I would have said that Gehl was a far rarer beast to be honest at least where I come from. If you browse the machinery trader magazines etc toyota is very well represented and their prices hold up well. Up until the release of the 5SDK series there was no high flow option available which restricted them in some markets, but most people are best served staying away from high flow anyway unless brunning an attachment that demands it.
A toyota has the advantage of being easy to work on and has a very simple electrical system. Also they spec up quite well alongside similar sized machines.
