Airman AX22-2 1997 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Parts Guide

You order a part for an AX22-2, and the dealer sends you something that doesn’t fit. Or the part number you scribbled off an aftermarket site cross-references to nothing. That’s the cost of guessing. On a 324-page factory parts catalog from Airman, you get the exact part numbers, quantities, and service codes the machine left the factory with in 1997. This isn’t a reprint of some third-party scan. This is the original OEM document — the same one a dealership parts counter uses.

How to Order Parts – The Factory Procedure

Every parts catalog starts with a memo telling you what you need. Page 1 of this manual has a table for your machine’s manufacturing number, engine type, engine serial — you fill those in before you touch a wrench. Page 2 lays out the ordering procedure: model (AX22-2), machine serial number (e.g., 875-020000), part number (like A810165), part name, quantity, and your info. Skip any of those six items and the order gets kicked back. I’ve seen guys lose a week waiting for a 50-cent O-ring because they forgot the machine serial. That’s a waste of time this catalog fixes.

Service Codes Explained – What W, H, D, K, R, S, Z Mean

Page 3 of the catalog defines a set of service code abbreviations that tell you how that part behaves. W means it needs work before installation — don’t just slap it on. H is a precision part — send those to a shop with proper tools. D means the part is not available alone; you order the whole assembly. K means it’s part of a service kit. R means quantity changes per machine (shims, mostly). S is a service part added after the factory shipped. Z ties it to the engine. If you ignore these codes you waste money and time. The catalog prints them clearly next to every part listing.

324 Pages of Factory Data – What You Get

This Parts Catalog is 324 pages of exploded diagrams and numerical parts indexes. The bookmarks in the PDF start with Airmann_AX22_2 equipment sections. Each page is a .tif image of the original print — sharp enough to read part numbers on a phone screen. The index at the end lets you find a part number in seconds. Need a hydraulic seal? Flip to the index, find the number, trace it back to the illustration. Aftermarket catalogs often skip the index or muddle the layout. This one keeps it clean: item number, part number, part name, quantity, service code. That’s it.

KUBOTA D1105-BH Engine Parts – Where to Look

The foreword on page 2 says: “For the engine parts, please refer to the parts catalog of KUBOTA diesel engine D1105-BH issued separately.” This catalog covers the chassis, hydraulics, undercarriage, and everything else bolted to that engine. If you need internal engine parts — pistons, rings, gaskets — you want the separate KUBOTA catalog. That’s not a flaw; it’s how factory documentation works. Each subsystem gets its own book so you don’t have to flip through irrelevant pages. Pair this Airman AX22-2 1997 Parts Catalog with the matching KUBOTA manual and you have a complete setup.

Why a Factory Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket Copies

Aftermarket parts catalogs are compiled from multiple sources. They get part numbers wrong, merge revisions, drop service codes. This document came from Airman in Holland, printed April 1997. Every part number, every note about over-sized (OS) or under-sized (US) parts, every # mark indicating a new addition on that page — it’s all factory-original. When you order a part number from this catalog, it matches the one on the engine or frame. Stop relying on forum threads and eBay listings. Get the spec you can bet your labor on. Airman AX35-2 Parts Catalog – Factory Specs Mini Excavator and Airman AX40-2 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Parts Guide follow the same architecture if you work on bigger machines. Airman AX35-2 1996 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Parts Guide is available too.

Does this catalog cover the KUBOTA engine in detail?

No. Engine parts are in a separate KUBOTA D1105-BH catalog.

How do I verify my machine serial number matches the catalog?

Locate the nameplate on the front of the main frame. The catalog example shows serial number format 875-020000. Your machine’s number should fall within the range listed on the applicable pages. If your serial falls outside, call Airman with the catalog in hand — they can tell you if a later revision applies. The manual explicitly notes that parts and quantities are subject to change without notice, so always confirm with the latest bulletin if your machine’s serial is near the edge of a production run. That’s why we stock the original prints: you get the exact revision that matches your machine’s build date.

Open this PDF on a tablet next to the machine, match the exploded diagram to the part you’re holding, and read the part number off the page. No zooming into fuzzy scans. No cross-referencing three different sites. Access the Factory Manual and start ordering parts the right way.
