LIUGONG (LiuGong) is China's first wheel loader exporter and now operates in 170+ countries. With over 500,000 wheel loaders in global service, LIUGONG has become a top choice for mining, construction, and port handling fleets. This guide covers every major component category for LIUGONG wheel loaders from the CLG836 to the 890H, with OEM cross-reference numbers, 3 quality tiers, and a practical procurement checklist for fleet managers.
1. LIUGONG Wheel Loader Model Overview (836–890H)
LIUGONG's wheel loader range covers 3-ton to 9-ton bucket capacity. The model numbering convention is straightforward: the first two digits after the series prefix indicate the bucket capacity in approximate decimeters. For example, the 856H has a ~5.0 m³ bucket (3.0-ton class), and the 890H has a ~9.0 m³ bucket (9.0-ton class).
| Model | Bucket Cap. | Engine | Transmission | Hydraulic Pump | Primary Apps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CLG836 / 836H | 1.7–2.0 m³ | Weichai WP6G140E331 | Hangchi BS428 / ZL30H | Kawasaki K3V63DT | Municipal, landscaping, small stockpiles |
| CLG856 / 856H | 2.7–3.0 m³ | Weichai WD10G220E23 | ZF 4WG200 / Advancing 6WG200 | Kawasaki K3V112DT | General construction, quarry, medium stockpiles |
| CLG862 / 862H | 3.0–3.5 m³ | Weichai WP10G240E343 | ZF 4WG200 / 6WG200 | Kawasaki K3V140DT | Heavy construction, mining aux, large stockpiles |
| 870H / 875H | 3.5–4.5 m³ | Weichai WP12G270E310 / Cummins QSL9 | ZF 6WG200 | Kawasaki K3V140DT / K5V160DTH | Mining, port handling, steel mill scrap |
| 890H | 4.5–5.0 m³ | Weichai WP13G300E310 | ZF 6WG310 / Advance 8WG310 | Kawasaki K5V160DTH / Rexroth A8VO200 | Large-scale mining, heavy-duty port operations |
| 920T / 930T | 0.8–1.2 m³ | Yanmar / Kubota / Weichai WP4 | Hydrostatic / Power shuttle | Compact variable displacement | Urban construction, utility trenches, nursery |
| 940T / 950T | 1.2–1.8 m³ | Weichai WP6 / Cummins QSB4.5 | Hangchi / Advance | Kawasaki K3V63DT / K3V80DT | Agricultural, small quarry, rental fleets |
Pro Tip: When sourcing parts for older CLG-series machines (pre-2015), always provide the chassis number (stamped on the main frame near the right front wheel). LIUGONG changed suppliers multiple times during the CLG era — a part that fits a 2012 CLG856 may not fit a 2018 856H even though the model name is similar.
2. Engine System — Weichai, Cummins & More
LIUGONG wheel loaders are powered primarily by Weichai Power engines, with Cummins engines on some export models and Yanmar/Kubota on compact T-series models. The engine is the most critical system for parts cross-reference because it determines the fuel, cooling, and electrical subsystems.
2.1 Weichai WP Series (Dominant on 836H–890H)
| Engine Model | Displacement | Power | Common on LIUGONG Models | Key Spare Parts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WP6G140E331 | 6.75L | 140 HP | 836H, 940T | Piston kit, liner, gasket set, fuel injector |
| WD10G220E23 | 9.73L | 220 HP | 856H, 856HN | Overhaul kit, water pump, thermostat, turbocharger |
| WP10G240E343 | 9.73L | 240 HP | 862H, 950T | Cylinder head, crankshaft, connecting rod, oil pump |
| WP12G270E310 | 11.6L | 270 HP | 870H, 875H | Full gasket set, injector nozzle, camshaft, flywheel |
| WP13G300E310 | 12.5L | 300 HP | 890H | Overhaul kit (full), injection pump, HP fuel rail |
2.2 Cummins Engines (Mid-Size & Export Models)
| Engine Model | Displacement | Power | Common Models | Cummins Part Cross-Ref |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QSB6.7 | 6.7L | 173–260 HP | 856H (export), 862H (export) | 4943967 (fuel pump), 4954904 (injector) |
| QSL9 | 8.9L | 250–350 HP | 870H (export), 875H | 4969587 (turbo), 4921776 (water pump) |
| QSX15 | 15.0L | 400–600 HP | 890H (rare, high-altitude export) | 4975000 (overhaul gasket set) |
⚠ Risk Alert: Weichai engines in LIUGONG machines use a different ECU calibration than the same engines in HOWO trucks. A WP10 injector that fits a HOWO truck may not be calibrated for a LIUGONG 856H. Always confirm the engine serial number (stamped on the engine block, left side, near the oil filter).
2.3 Engine Overhaul Components — Complete Checklist

3. Hydraulic System — Kawasaki & Rexroth Pumps
LIUGONG's hydraulic system is arguably its strongest technical feature. The company has a long-standing partnership with Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and most H-series loaders use Japanese Kawasaki pumps and valves. Some units use Bosch Rexroth or domestic Longkong (Likong) pumps as cost-optimized options.
3.1 Main Hydraulic Pump (Pressure Side)
| Pump Model | Displacement | Used on LIUGONG Models | Cross-Ref Part # (LIUGONG) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kawasaki K3V63DT | 63 cc/rev | 836H, 920T, 930T | 56B0120 / 17A0684 |
| Kawasaki K3V80DT | 80 cc/rev | 940T, 950T | 17A0685 / 56B0121 |
| Kawasaki K3V112DT | 112 cc/rev | 856H, 856HN | 17A0686 / SP103662 |
| Kawasaki K3V140DT | 140 cc/rev | 862H, 870H | 17A0687 / SP103663 |
| Kawasaki K5V160DTH | 160 cc/rev (tandem) | 875H, 890H | 17A0688 / SP103664 |
| Rexroth A8VO107 | 107 cc/rev | 856H (cost-optimized) | R902436712 |
| Rexroth A8VO140 | 140 cc/rev | 862H (cost-optimized) | R902436713 |
3.2 Control Valve (Distributor)
| Valve Model | Sections | Used on LIUGONG Models | Cross-Ref Part # |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kawasaki KMX13NA | 3-section | 856H, 862H (standard) | 17A0690 / SP103670 |
| Kawasaki KMX15NA | 4-section | 870H, 875H | 17A0691 / SP103671 |
| Parker 420 | 3-section | 836H, 940T | 17A0692 |
| Rexroth M4-12 | 3-section | 856H (Rexroth hyd.) | R902436720 |
✓ Diagnostic Shortcut: If your LIUGONG loader has slow lift speed but normal breakout force, the problem is likely the main pump swash plate wear (not the control valve). If both lift and tilt are slow, check the pilot pump (gear pump, ~$80) first — it's a $80 part that mimics a $2,500 main pump failure.
3.3 Hydraulic Cylinders (Boom & Bucket)
| Cylinder Type | Model | Bore × Rod × Stroke (mm) | LIUGONG Part # |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boom cylinder (left) | 856H | 140 × 85 × 785 | 56B0110 / SP103500 |
| Boom cylinder (right) | 856H | 140 × 85 × 785 | 56B0111 / SP103501 |
| Bucket cylinder (tilt) | 856H | 140 × 80 × 565 | 56B0112 / SP103502 |
| Steering cylinder | 856H | 80 × 45 × 310 | 56B0113 / SP103503 |
| Boom cylinder | 890H | 180 × 110 × 950 | 89B0100 / SP103510 |
4. Transmission & Axle System — ZF, Advance & MERITOR
The transmission and axles determine a wheel loader's mobility, gradeability, and cycle time. LIUGONG uses three transmission families: ZF (German), Advance / Hanteng (Chinese), and Hangchi (domestic). ZF units are standard on H-series models; domestic units are used on cost-sensitive CLG-series and T-series compact loaders.
4.1 Transmission Models & Cross-Reference
| Transmission | Gears | Torque Rating | Used on LIUGONG Models | Key Spare Parts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZF 4WG200 | 4F / 3R | 200 N·m | 856H, 862H (early) | Clutch pack, input shaft seal, valve body |
| ZF 6WG200 | 6F / 3R | 200 N·m | 862H, 870H, 875H | Electronic control unit, pressure switch |
| ZF 6WG310 | 6F / 3R | 310 N·m | 890H | Input shaft bearing, output flange |
| Advance 6WG200 | 6F / 3R | 200 N·m | 856H (domestic), 862H | Same as ZF 6WG200 (interchangeable internals) |
| Hangchi BS428 | 4F / 2R | 180 N·m | 836H, 940T | Countershaft gear, synchronizer ring |
ZF vs. Advance Compatibility: The Advance 6WG200 is a licensed Chinese copy of the ZF 6WG200. About 70% of internal parts are interchangeable (clutch plates, seals, bearings). However, the electronic control unit (ECU) and valve body are NOT interchangeable. If you need a valve body, confirm whether the machine has the original ZF or the Advance unit.
4.2 Drive Axles
| Axle Model | Load Rating | Differential | Used on LIUGONG Models | Part # (Front / Rear) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MERITOR / Kessler D71 | 10T | No-SPIN (optional) | 856H, 862H | 56A0100 / 56A0101 |
| MERITOR / Kessler D91 | 13T | No-SPIN standard | 870H, 875H | 87A0100 / 87A0101 |
| Domestic 10T axle | 10T | Standard open | 836H, 940T | 36A0100 / 36A0101 |
| Domestic 16T axle | 16T | No-SPIN standard | 890H | 89A0100 / 89A0101 |
5. Electrical System & ECU Sensors
Modern LIUGONG H-series loaders use a CAN-bus electrical system with an ECU (engine control unit) and a VCU (vehicle control unit). The most common electrical failures are sensor faults that trigger "Check Engine" codes and cause derating (reduced power).
5.1 Common Sensors & Part Numbers
| Sensor Type | Function | Part # (Weichai WP10) | Part # (Cummins QSB6.7) | Symptom if Failed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crankshaft position sensor | Engine speed signal | 612630010088 | 4921587 | No start / sudden stall |
| Camshaft position sensor | Timing reference | 612630010089 | 4921588 | Misfire / rough idle |
| Coolant temperature sensor | Engine temp monitoring | 612630010090 | 4954900 | Overheating alarm (false) |
| Oil pressure sensor | Lubrication monitoring | 612630010091 | 4954901 | Low oil pressure alarm |
| Intake manifold pressure sensor | Turbo boost measurement | 612630010092 | 4954902 | Reduced power / black smoke |
| Fuel rail pressure sensor | Injection pressure | 612630010093 | 4954903 | Hard start / white smoke |
5.2 ECU & Display Units
| Component | Weichai System Part # | Cummins System Part # | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ECU (engine control unit) | 612630010001 (Bosch EDC17) | 4928800 (Cummins CM2350) | Requires programming after replacement |
| VCU (vehicle control unit) | 56C0100 (LIUGONG proprietary) | 56C0100 (same) | CAN-bus communication hub |
| Display monitor (dashboard) | 56C0110 (LCD with keypad) | 56C0110 (same) | Shows fault codes & parameters |
| Wiring harness (engine) | 61500050001 | 4969500 | Always replace with ECU if harness is >5 yrs old |
6. Bucket, GET (Ground Engaging Tools) & Attachments
The bucket and GET are the only wear parts that touch the material being handled. They have the highest replacement frequency in a wheel loader's lifecycle. LIUGONG buckets are known for their high-strength steel (HARDOX 400/500) construction, but the GET (teeth, adapters, side cutters) are universal across many brands.
6.1 Bucket Types & Part Numbers
| Bucket Type | Material | Used for | LIUGONG Part # (856H) |
|---|---|---|---|
| General purpose (GP) | HARDOX 400 | Soil, sand, gravel, coal | 56D0100 (3.0 m³) |
| Heavy-duty (HD) | HARDOX 450 | Blasted rock, shotcrete, clay | 56D0101 (2.7 m³) |
| Rock bucket | HARDOX 500 | Granite, basalt, iron ore | 56D0102 (2.5 m³) |
| Light material (LM) | High-tensile steel | Wood chips, grain, snow | 56D0103 (4.5 m³) |
| Side-dump bucket | HARDOX 400 | Trenching, slope trimming | 56D0104 (2.7 m³) |
6.2 GET (Bucket Teeth & Adapters) Cross-Reference
| GET Type | LIUGONG Part # | Cat Equivalent | Komatsu Equivalent | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tooth (standard) | CLG8-230RC | 230-91RC | 20Y-70-23111 | General purpose |
| Tooth (heavy-duty) | CLG8-250HD | 250-91HD | 20Y-70-23121 | Rock & blasting |
| Adapter (tooth base) | CLG8-230AD | 230-70AD | 20Y-70-23100 | Fits 230-series teeth |
| Side cutter (left) | 56D0200-L | 233-75L | — | Extends bucket width |
| Side cutter (right) | 56D0200-R | 233-75R | — | Extends bucket width |
| Pin & retainer kit | CLG8-PIN-230 | 230-PIN-KIT | — | Secures tooth to adapter |
✓ Fleet Manager Tip: LIUGONG bucket teeth follow the 230-series (for 3-ton class) and 250-series (for 5-ton class) international standards. A Cat 230-91RC tooth will fit a LIUGONG 856H bucket adapter. This means you can source GET globally — but always confirm the adapter part number first, as adapters are welded to the bucket and are not interchangeable.
7. Filters & Lubrication Schedule
LIUGONG recommends 500-hour filter replacement intervals for normal operation and 250-hour intervals for severe-duty (mining, cement, desert). Using non-genuine filters is the #1 cause of premature hydraulic pump and engine failure in wheel loaders.
7.1 Complete Filter Set — LIUGONG 856H (Weichai WD10G220E23)
| Filter Type | LIUGONG Part # | Cross-Ref (Fleetguard / Donaldson) | Replacement Interval |

| Cabin air filter | LG956L-01010 | Standard HVAC filter (280×200×30 mm) | 1,000 h |
7.2 Recommended Lubricants
| System | LIUGONG recommendation | Alternative (international brand) | Capacity (856H) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine oil | CI-4 15W-40 | Shell Rimula R4 X 15W-40 | 26 L |
| Hydraulic oil | Anti-wear 46# | Shell Tellus S2 V46 | 260 L |
| Transmission oil | Allison TES-389 | Shell Spirax S6 ATF A295 | 38 L (ZF 4WG200) |
| Front axle oil | GL-5 80W-90 | Shell Spirax S2 A 80W-90 | 28 L/axle |
| Coolant | Ethylene glycol -35°C | Shellzone -35°C | 42 L |
8. Quality Tiers & How to Choose the Right Level
Just like with HOWO truck parts and SANY excavator parts, LIUGONG wheel loader components are available in three quality tiers. Choosing the right tier depends on the machine's remaining service life, the severity of the operating environment, and your budget.
| Quality Tier | Description | Best For | Warranty | Price vs. Genuine |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Genuine LIUGONG | Manufactured by LIUGONG or its Tier-1 suppliers (Kawasaki, ZF, Weichai) with LIUGONG logo and original packaging. | New machines (0–2 yrs), warranty-covered repairs, critical safety parts (brake valves, ECU) | 12 months / 2,000 h | 100% (baseline) |
| OEM-Grade (Tier-1 Supplier) | Manufactured by the same factory that supplies LIUGONG (e.g., Kawasaki pump, Weichai engine) but without the LIUGONG logo. Identical performance. | Machines 2–5 yrs old, non-warranty repairs, high-wear items (filters, GET, cylinders) | 6–12 months | 50–70% |
| Aftermarket / Economy | Manufactured by approved aftermarket factories. Meets minimum performance specs but may have shorter service life. | Machines >5 yrs old (near end-of-life), non-critical components (hoses, brackets, cosmetic panels) | 3–6 months | 25–45% |
⚠ What NOT to Buy in Economy Tier: Never buy hydraulic pumps, ECUs, sensors, or bearings in economy tier. The failure rate is >20% within 6 months, and a failed hydraulic pump can send metal debris through the entire hydraulic system — causing $10,000+ in collateral damage. For these components, always use Genuine or OEM-Grade.

9. How to Order LIUGONG Wheel Loader Parts — 4-Step Process
Why VIN/Chassis Number Cross-Reference Matters: LIUGONG changed hydraulic pump suppliers three times between 2015 and 2023. A 856H manufactured in 2017 may have a Kawasaki K3V112DT pump, while a 2021 unit may have a Rexroth A8VO107. The chassis number (stamped on the main frame) is the only way to guarantee the correct part. Archer Parts performs free VIN cross-reference for every inquiry — send us your chassis photo or number and we will confirm the exact part number within 24 hours.
Step 1: Gather Machine Information
Take clear photos of: (1) the chassis number plate (right side of main frame), (2) the engine serial number (left side of engine block), (3) the hydraulic pump nameplate (top of pump), and (4) the transmission nameplate. Send these to us via WhatsApp or email.
Step 2: Request a Quotation
Based on your photos, we will cross-reference the part numbers and send you a formal quotation with 3 quality tier options, estimated shipping time to your port, and pre-shipment inspection photos. Quotation turnaround: <24 hours.
Step 3: Pre-Shipment Inspection (Optional but Recommended)
For orders >$2,000, we provide high-resolution photos and videos of the actual parts being shipped, including close-ups of part numbers, packaging, and quality marks. This is your verification before the container is sealed.
Step 4: Shipping & After-Sales
We ship to all major global ports. Every order includes our 3-point inspection report (part number confirmation, visual quality check, packaging integrity) and real-time tracking. If a part does not fit, we will replace it at our cost (terms apply).
Frequently Asked Questions — LIUGONG Wheel Loader Parts
Q: Can I use a Kawasaki pump from an XCMG wheel loader on my LIUGONG 856H?
A: Possibly, but you must check the mounting flange and shaft spline. Kawasaki K3V112DT pumps are used by both LIUGONG and XCMG, but the rotation direction (clockwise vs. counterclockwise) and port orientation may differ. Always confirm the LIUGONG-specific part number (17A0686 or SP103662) before ordering.
Q: How do I identify whether my LIUGONG has a ZF or an Advance transmission?
A: Look for the nameplate on the transmission housing (right side of the machine, under the cabin). If it says "ZF Friedrichshafen" with a logo, it's ZF. If it says "Advance" or "Hangzhou Advance", it's the domestic unit. The oil filler cap is also different: ZF uses a black cap with a yellow label; Advance uses a red cap.
Q: What is the difference between the 856H and the 856HN?
A: The 856HN is the "New" version of the 856H, introduced around 2020. Key differences: (1) engine upgraded from WD10G220E23 to WP10G240E343 (240 HP vs. 220 HP), (2) transmission upgraded from ZF 4WG200 to ZF 6WG200 (6-speed vs. 4-speed), (3) cab suspension added for operator comfort, (4) LED lighting standard. Some 856HN parts are not interchangeable with the 856H — always confirm the model year.
Q: My LIUGONG 856H is showing error code "E-05" on the display. What does it mean?
A: "E-05" on a LIUGONG H-series display typically indicates a hydraulic pilot pressure sensor fault or a communication error between the VCU and the ECU. First, check the wiring harness connecting the VCU (under the operator seat) to the ECU (on the engine). If the wiring is intact, the pilot pressure sensor (part # 56C0200) may need replacement. Send us a photo of the error code and we will help you diagnose it.
Q: Are LIUGONG spare parts available for machines older than 10 years?
A: Yes. LIUGONG has an excellent legacy parts program. For machines older than 10 years (pre-2014 CLG series), we can usually source parts through LIUGONG's "Classic Parts" channel, or provide OEM-grade alternatives from the original Tier-1 suppliers. The only exception is electronic control units (ECUs) for discontinued engine models — in that case, we can sometimes provide refurbished units with a 6-month warranty.
Q: How long does it take to receive LIUGONG parts in West Africa or the Middle East?
A: Shipping to West Africa (Apapa, Tema, Conakry) takes 35–45 days. Shipping to the Middle East (Jebel Ali, Dammam) takes 20–30 days. We provide pre-shipment inspection photos and real-time tracking. For urgent repairs, we can arrange air freight for small parts (sensors, seals, ECU) — delivery in 5–7 days, but at 5–8× the sea freight cost.
