Toyota SDK8
I have a 1984 Toyota SDK8 that I bought a number of years ago. It is a great skid loader, but because they are no longer imported into the US, it is a real pain to find any info. I am going to start posting all of the information I have about it on this page, hopefully some other folks will add any information that they may have. Right now I am focused on getting the starter turning over reliably, it usually only turns over about once every four or five tries.
My bucket attachment is also all mangled up, I am curious if anyone has replaced their’s with a BobCat Quick Tach attachment plate?

Have a 1992 sdk8 need lift and dump cylinder packing, can’t seem to find part numbers or any kits to rebuild cylinders.
If your looking for a low psi inline fuel pump I’ve bought one from a place called Pegasus racing products it’s got good inlet suction and 10-13 psi pressure I’d check website for current price but it’s a multi fuel pump so if you use it on diesel motors
Lee Driver: Check out the 2SDK 7&8 forum on Facebook, should be someone there that has the correct toyota part numbers you need! Chuck C. thanks for the info will check it out!
I have a sdk8 and was wondering if all skid steer attachments will fit it?
My sdk8 I’ve had to custom fabricate any other attachments that were deemed universal. Seems like Toyota back then had their specific pattern on the mount area. I’ve added steel to top flange then gussets down sides to make tighter then plates with holes in base for the pin locks if you fabricate it’s some work but can be done
I have a 1992 sdk8, bought brand new. I’ve put it beyond its capacity multiple times, it’s still running strong. Only problem that I have with it, it’s always hard starting. I have to use the heat plugs. Let me say, it’s never failed to start. By the way, I’ve laid it on it side twice, and drove straight into a large hole completely submerged in water, had to crawl out the back. I changed fluids 3 times then back to work, and that was 1998. I love this machine. Gene
It’s so cool to find someone who understands how awesome the Toyota skid steer is. Ours is 3 generations old, grandpa bought it new in 91 I think and my dad worked on it till his passing 2014. I’m no real mechanic, but I’ve had it running up till the last flood. Water came up to the seat, while parked. Took a couple days to recede. The oil came out black when I changed it today. No clouds in the fuel tank when sucked some diesel out with clear hose. I’m going to replace the sedimenter , what should I do?
