LOVOL excavators — from the compact FR60E to the 37-tonne FR370E — operate on construction sites, quarries, and infrastructure projects across Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Their competitive purchase price and straightforward mechanical design have made them a popular choice for cost-conscious fleet operators. But like all heavy equipment, they need parts — and getting the right part, at the right quality, at the right price is what separates profitable operations from expensive downtime.
This guide covers the complete LOVOL excavator spare parts landscape: engine components (Weichai, Yuchai, Isuzu, Yanmar), hydraulic systems (Kawasaki, Rexroth), undercarriage, electrical systems, attachment wear parts, and filter elements. You will find a model-by-model comparison table, quality tier breakdown, cross-brand filter compatibility chart, and a practical ordering process that uses engine serial number cross-referencing to eliminate wrong-part shipments.
Whether you operate a single LOVOL FR150E in Ghana or a fleet of FR220Es in Nigeria, this guide is built to help you source parts faster, compare quality tiers intelligently, and avoid the most common procurement mistakes.
Chapter 1: LOVOL Excavator Model Overview
LOVOL Heavy Industries (a subsidiary of Weichai Holding Group) produces excavators ranging from 6 to 37 tonnes. The FR series is the most widely exported line, with the FR150E, FR220E, and FR260E being the highest-volume models in international markets.

Chapter 2: Engine System — Core Components
The engine is the most expensive single assembly on a LOVOL excavator, and engine-related downtime is the most costly. LOVOL excavators use four engine families depending on model and production batch. Parts interchangeability across these families is zero — a Weichai cylinder head will not fit an Isuzu block.
2.1 Engine Families by Model
| Engine Family | LOVOL Models | Displacement | Common Parts Needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yanmar 4TNV98 | FR60E, FR80E | 3.3 L | Injectors, water pump, gasket kits, starter motor, alternator |
| Weichai WP4.1 | FR150E | 4.1 L | Turbocharger, piston rings, cylinder head, oil pump, fuel pump |
| Weichai WP6 / WP7 | FR220E, FR260E, FR330E | 6.75 - 7.14 L | Main bearings, con-rod bearings, liner kits, head gasket, timing gear |
| Weichai WP10 | FR370E | 9.73 L | Piston assembly, liner, oil cooler, fuel injection pump, EGR valve |
| Isuzu 4HK1 / 6HK1 | FR150E, FR220E, FR260E | 5.2 - 7.8 L | Common-rail injectors, SCV (suction control valve), rail pressure sensor |
2.2 Engine Repair Kits & Major Components
For fleet operators who perform in-house engine overhauls, we recommend keeping these engine system categories on hand:
- Cylinder Block & Head — Cylinder head assemblies, head gaskets, valve guides, valve seats, camshafts, push rods, rocker arms
- Piston & Crankshaft — Piston assemblies (with rings and pin), cylinder liners, main bearing sets, connecting rod bearing sets, thrust washers
- Turbocharger & Cooling — Turbocharger cartridges, water pumps, thermostats, radiator cores, intercooler, fan clutches

- Overhaul Gasket Kits — Full engine gasket sets (head gasket, manifold gaskets, oil seals, O-rings, valve stem seals)
- Intake & Exhaust — Intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, EGR valves and coolers, air filter housings
Chapter 3: Hydraulic System — Pumps, Valves & Actuators
The hydraulic system is the heart of excavator performance. LOVOL excavators use hydraulic components from leading global manufacturers, which means OEM-quality replacement parts are available at competitive prices compared to dealer channels.
3.1 Hydraulic Pump Configurations
| LOVOL Model | Main Pump | Pilot Pump | Max Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|
| FR60E - FR80E | Kawasaki K3V63DT | Gear pump (integrated) | 28 MPa |
| FR150E | Kawasaki K3V112DT | Kawasaki K3V (integrated) | 34.3 MPa |
| FR220E - FR260E | Kawasaki K3V140DT / Rexroth A8V107 | Kawasaki / Rexroth (integrated) | 34.3 MPa |

- Filtration & Tank — Hydraulic oil filters, return filters, suction strainers, breathers, hydraulic tank caps, sight gauges
Chapter 4: Undercarriage System
The undercarriage accounts for approximately 20% of an excavator's purchase price and up to 50% of its lifetime maintenance cost. LOVOL excavators use a steel track undercarriage design that is broadly similar to mainstream brands (Komatsu, CAT, Hitachi), making aftermarket undercarriage parts widely available.
4.1 Undercarriage Components
| Component | Typical Life (Hours) | Replacement Indicator |
|---|---|---|
| Track Chains | 2,000 - 4,000 h | Pin/bushing wear exceeds 20% of original diameter |
| Track Shoes | 3,000 - 6,000 h | Grouser height worn below 50% |
| Track Rollers | 2,500 - 5,000 h | Flange wear > 50%, oil leakage |
| Carrier Rollers | 3,000 - 6,000 h | Surface wear, bearing noise |
| Idler Wheels | 4,000 - 8,000 h | Flange wear, bearing play |
| Sprockets | 2,000 - 4,000 h | Tooth tip wear (replace with chain) |
4.2 Track Configuration by Model
| Model | Track Shoes (per side) | Track Rollers | Carrier Rollers |
|---|---|---|---|
| FR60E | 40 links | 5 | 1 |
| FR80E | 43 links | 5 | 1 |
| FR150E | 46 links | 7 | 2 |
| FR220E | 49 links | 7 | 2 |
| FR260E | 49 links | 8 | 2 |
| FR330E | 51 links | 8 | 2 |
| FR370E | 53 links | 9 | 2 |
Chapter 5: Electrical System
Electrical faults are the most misdiagnosed problems on LOVOL excavators. A loose ground connection can mimic a failed controller; a corroded sensor connector can trigger engine derating. This chapter covers the parts most commonly needed for electrical repairs.
- Charging & Starting — Alternators, starter motors, ignition switches, battery cables, master disconnect switches, relays
- Sensors & Switches — Pressure sensors (pump discharge, pilot), temperature sensors (hydraulic oil, coolant), speed sensors (engine, travel), angle sensors, pressure switches
- ECU & Display — Engine ECU, hydraulic controller, monitor display panels, wiring harnesses, CAN bus terminators
- Lighting — Work lights (LED and halogen), boom lights, cab interior lights, warning beacons
Chapter 6: Attachment & Wear Parts (GET)
Attachments and ground-engaging tools (GET) are the parts that wear out fastest — often within 500-1,000 hours in abrasive conditions. This category also includes cabin parts, structural components, and air conditioning systems.
- Bucket & Linkage — Complete buckets (GP, heavy-duty, rock), bucket pins, linkage pins, bushings, shims
- GET (Ground Engaging Tools) — Bucket teeth, tooth adapters, side cutters, cutting edges, heel shrouds, tooth pins and retainers
- Cab & Body — Cab glass, door handles and hinges, mirrors, seat assemblies, joystick controls, pedal assemblies
- Air Conditioning — A/C compressors, condensers, evaporators, expansion valves, blower motors, receiver driers
Chapter 7: Filter Elements — Complete Cross-Reference
Filters are the most frequently replaced spare parts on any excavator. Using the correct filter is critical — a wrong micron rating on a hydraulic filter can destroy a pump in hours. Below is the complete LOVOL excavator filter cross-reference with cross-brand compatibility.
7.1 LOVOL Excavator Filter Specifications
| LOVOL Part No. | Filter Type | Application | Micron Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| RP011011A0 | Engine Oil Filter | All Weichai WP4/WP6/WP7/WP10 engines | 25-30 microm |
| RP012011A0 | Fuel Fine Filter | Weichai WP6 / WP7 / WP10 common-rail (post-transfer pump) | 3-5 microm |
| RP012021A0 | Fuel Water Separator | Weichai WP4 / WP6 / WP7 / WP10 (pre-filter with water drain) | 10-15 microm |
| RP012031A0 | Fuel Pre-Filter | Weichai WP6 / WP10 (primary filter with integrated hand primer) | 15-20 microm |
| RP013011A0 | Safety Air Filter (Inner) | All FR150E - FR370E models (secondary element) | High-efficiency dry type |
| RP013021A0 | Primary Air Filter (Outer) | All FR150E - FR370E models (primary element) | Standard dry type |
7.2 Filter Maintenance Schedule
| Filter | Replacement Interval | Inspect Interval | Severe-Duty Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|

| Primary Air Filter (RP013021A0) | 500 - 1,000 h | Every 100 h | 250 h (dusty conditions) |
Chapter 8: Quality Tiers & Which to Choose
Archer Parts offers three quality tiers to match your budget and application. Choosing the right tier for each component category is a skill that saves fleet operators thousands of dollars per machine per year.
LOVOL Factory Original Parts — Identical to the parts installed at the factory. Complete OEM documentation, packaging, and warranty.
Best for: Engine internals, fuel injection components, ECU and controllers, hydraulic pump rotating groups, critical safety components.
Manufacturer-Equivalent Quality — Produced by the same factories that supply LOVOL or equivalent tier-1 manufacturers. Full dimensional and material specification match to genuine parts.
Best for: Cylinder seal kits, gasket sets, bearings, turbochargers, water pumps, hydraulic hoses and fittings, undercarriage components.
Cost-Effective Replacement — Third-party manufactured parts. Suitable for non-safety, non-precision components. Quality varies by supplier.
Best for: Filters, belts, hoses (low pressure), bucket teeth, rubber tracks (light duty), cabin parts, lights, wiper blades, glass.
Chapter 9: How to Order LOVOL Parts
The difference between a correct part and a wrong part on a LOVOL excavator often comes down to how you identify the machine. LOVOL's multiple engine configurations mean that model number alone is not enough. Follow this process to eliminate wrong-part shipments.
- Send the Engine Serial Number — Take a photo of the engine nameplate (typically stamped on the right side of the cylinder block). This is the single most important piece of information for engine, fuel system, and turbocharger parts.
- Send the Machine Serial Number / VIN — Located on the cabin frame or counterweight. This identifies the exact production batch, which determines hydraulic component manufacturer (Kawasaki vs. Rexroth).
- Specify Your Quality Tier — Tell us Genuine, OEM-Grade, or Aftermarket for each part category. We quote across all three so you can compare.
- Review Pre-Shipment Photos — Before your order ships, we send high-resolution photos and when applicable, inspection videos of the exact parts being packed. You confirm the part numbers and physical condition before they leave our facility.

Look at the engine nameplate stamped on the right side of the cylinder block. It will clearly state the manufacturer (Weichai / Isuzu / Yanmar) and engine model. If the nameplate is missing or unreadable, take a photo of the engine from the right side — Weichai engines have a distinctive black rocker cover with red "WEICHAI" lettering, while Isuzu engines have a silver/grey rocker cover with "ISUZU" embossed. Never rely on the excavator model number alone — the same FR220E can ship with either engine depending on the production year and export market.
Some Fleetguard and Donaldson filters share physical dimensions and thread sizes with LOVOL OEM filters. However, micron ratings, bypass valve settings, and anti-drain-back valve specifications can differ. For oil filters (RP011011A0), Fleetguard LF9009 is dimensionally compatible but has a different micron rating (25 microm for LOVOL OEM vs. 30 microm for Fleetguard). For fuel fine filters (RP012011A0), do not substitute — the 3-5 microm rating is critical for common-rail injector protection, and aftermarket filters rarely meet this specification. Contact us for proper OEM-grade LOVOL filters at competitive prices.
There is no minimum order quantity for most LOVOL parts. You can order a single filter, one cylinder seal kit, or one track roller. For heavy items like track chains and complete buckets, we recommend ordering by the pair (both sides) to reduce per-unit shipping costs. For fleet operators, we offer volume pricing on 10+ units of the same part number.
Shipping time depends on destination and method: Express air freight (DHL/FedEx/UPS): 5-7 days for most countries. Sea freight: 20-35 days to West Africa, 30-45 days to East Africa, 25-40 days to the Middle East, 30-50 days to South America. For urgent breakdown situations, we recommend express air freight for small-to-medium parts (under 30 kg). For bulk orders (engines, complete undercarriage sets), sea freight provides the best cost efficiency.
Yes. We support legacy LOVOL models including the 9-series (920, 922, 925, 930, 936) and early FR models (FR60-7, FR80-7, FR150-7, FR220-7). For older models, part availability depends on the specific component — some legacy parts are still in production, while others require sourcing from remaining factory stock or OEM-equivalent manufacturers. Send us your machine serial number and the specific parts you need, and we will confirm availability within 24 hours.
Warranty terms vary by quality tier: Genuine LOVOL parts — 12 months or 2,000 hours (whichever comes first), matching the factory warranty. OEM-Grade parts — 6 months or 1,000 hours against manufacturing defects. Aftermarket parts — 3 months against manufacturing defects. Warranty does not cover damage from improper installation, contaminated fluids, or operation beyond rated specifications. All warranty claims require a clear photo of the failed part and the machine serial number.
