Steel Retainer carries American Pneumatic Tool part number 1280583597, which replaced the older number 00893 and is stocked here under APT893. This part keeps the steel captive in the digger under repeated impact, so it is inspected at every steel change and replaced on condition rather than on a schedule.
It is called out in the parts diagram for the 119 Trench Digger and 125 Clay Digger, and on 2 other machines. Worth matching the reference number on the diagram against your own machine before you order the same part number can sit in more than one position.
The parts breakdown index indexes every breakdown we publish, and the American Pneumatic catalog has the tools these parts go into. It ships out of Denver, same day on in-stock orders placed before 4 PM ET.
