Toyota SDK8

By Jimmy March 26, 2010 Toyota, Toyota SDK8 213 Comments

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?

    What battery are you all replacing in the SDK8? My local place wanted $1100. Need cold cranking amps. My numbers are all worn off.

    RE: Battery for sdk8—I have the sdk7 model and just replaced the tractor battery(650CCA) which was in mine with a 900CCA low profile type from the local Fleet/Farm store-fitment was much better as this battery is lower and wider than a tractor battery. One angle bracket with two battery hooks and it rides rock solid-no bouncing around! I paid about $125.00 with a battery/core exchange. It has plenty of reserve in the cold weather and will stand up to many hard starts. JFYI

    I am chasing an oil pump for a SDK8 serial number 10204. Where can I pick one up?
    Thanks Ron

    Hey guys I have a 1990s SKD7. I am pretty sure the main pump on it is shot. It will go in forward and reverse when cold but the hydraulics will hardly go up. Once it is hot it struggles to move. Any ideas if I’m on the right track and if so do I just get the pump rebuilt? The little engine runs great even though the machine is beat all to hell because I bought it from a demolition company but I’m thinking of selling it if this pump issue is a pain in the rear. I’m in Virginia and can deliver with in reason. Let me know what you guys think and feel free to call me at (804) 514-1294

    I just bought a sdk8 and when turning especially to the right it makes a clicking noise. My parking brake does not work could that be the problem?

    Hi. I have an 86 SDK8 that I need some help with. Machine was fine until I blew a hydraulic line, I stopped using immediately, repairs the line and now only the right side is working.
    Any help would be appreciated!
