Case 210 1975 Parts Catalog – Workbench Reference, Not a Novel

Every time a junior tech walks in holding a generic aftermarket parts breakdown, I know we’re about to waste an hour chasing wrong numbers. Case 210 1975 Parts Catalog cuts that out. Factory-original, 33 pages, published July 1975. This is the same booklet that left the J.I. Case factory, not a copy-and-paste PDF from some third-party site that swapped part numbers. If you’re rebuilding a 210 compact tractor and need the correct crankshaft part number or the right camshaft reference, you start here.

Parts Breakdown: Engine Section

Engine section runs from page 5 through page 19. It covers everything from the air cleaner (page 5, grid A6) to the throttle linkage (page 19, grid B6). Each part gets a reference number, a factory part number, a description, and the quantity used per machine. That column for “Number Required” matters — ordering two when you need one or vice versa shuts down a job. Camshaft, crankshaft, connecting rod, piston, cylinder block, cylinder head, all there. Page 7 lists the camshaft (grid A8) and the crankcase breather. The cylinder block and cylinder head share page 11 (grid A12). Gasket kits are on page 13 (grid A14). No guessing which gasket goes where — the exploded view shows the stack order. If you’ve ever had a leak because the wrong gasket thickness was used, you’ll appreciate the clarity.

Fuel System and Electrical: Track the Grid

Fuel system sits on pages 15-17 (grids B2-B4). Fuel pump, fuel strainer, carburetor, fuel tank — all keyed to the same grid system. The electrical system occupies pages 49-51 (grids D8-D10). Battery, spark plug, starter-generator, tail lamp. Wiring diagrams are not included in a parts catalog — that’s service manual territory — but the reference numbers for each electrical component are exact. You need a new starter-generator belt? Page 15, grid B2. The grid system is not decorative; it tells you the exact position on the exploded drawing. Makes parts identification faster than scrolling through a digital index.

What About the Tractor Section?

The Basic Tractor Section is pages 25-59. Front and rear axles, brakes, transmission, steering wheel and gear, pulleys and belts, operator’s seat, decals. Even specialty attachments like the Model D8 wheel weights (page 57, grid E2), Model J21 sleeve hitch (page 55, grid D14), and the Model H13 weight box (page 59, grid E4). If your 210 came with a factory weight box and you need the brackets, page 59 has them. The alphabetical index in the front is the fastest way to land on the right page. I keep a grease pencil next to the bench and mark the pages I use most — saves flipping every time.

33 Pages – Factory Specs, No Interpretation

33 pages total. That includes the general information section on page 2, which explains how orders should be placed, how revised pages are issued, and how to read the indented parts list. Indented items are sub-components of the preceding assembly — you cannot order those separately without referencing the parent part. The “issue” number and date on each page matter because Case issued revised pages over the years. If you’re working on a 210 with serial number 9686282 and after (the range covered in this catalog), you need the 1975 revision. Mixing a 1974 page with a 1975 machine means ordering parts that don’t fit. The catalog is explicit: “It is imperative that revised Parts Book pages be inserted into their respective Parts Books as soon as received.” That’s from page 2. They wrote that for a reason.

Read the Manual Before You Touch the Wiring

Electrical system pages 49-51 list every component from the battery to the starter-generator. But this is a parts catalog — it tells you what the part number is, not how to test the circuit. For electrical diagnostics, you need the factory service manual. Pair this parts catalog with the CASE 210 1976 Parts Catalog if your tractor falls in a different serial range. The 1976 revision may include updated part numbers for the starter-generator or fuel pump.

I’ve seen too many technicians order an aftermarket camshaft that shows up with the wrong journal dimensions. Factory part numbers from this catalog eliminate that. The Case CX160B 2007 Parts Catalog – OEM Undercarriage Hydraulics and Case CX27B 2007 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs for Mini Excavator follow the same principle: OEM data, not reprints. Also read the Automotive Industry Overview for context on how factory documentation standards developed.

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and reference codes only. Torque values require the factory service manual for the Case 210.

How do I read the grid references like “5 A6”?

The grid reference combines a page number (5) with an alphanumeric coordinate (A6). Each exploded view is divided into grid cells. Find the cell “A6” on page 5 and you’ll see the exact part circled with its reference number. This system was standard in OEM parts books from the 1960s through 1980s because it allows one illustration to contain many parts without crowding. The alphabetical index at the front lists each component with its grid, so you go directly to the right cell without scanning the whole page. It’s fast once you get the hang of it — faster than scrolling through a digital PDF that hasn’t been OCR’d properly.

Can I use this catalog for a different Case model, like the 220?

Some engine components may cross-reference, but this catalog is specific to the Case 210 with serial number 9686282 and after. Case changed part numbers between models. Using a 210 camshaft number on a 220 could get you the wrong journal diameter or timing gear. Stick to the model-specific catalog.

Is the PDF searchable?

The digital copy from this site is scanned at high resolution. Optical character recognition (OCR) is applied, so you can search for “crankshaft” or “fuel pump” within the PDF. The original print catalog did not have search, of course.

Working without factory part numbers on a Case 210 is asking for downtime. You waste a week waiting for the wrong crank, then ship it back. Access the Factory Manual — the original 1975 Case 210 Parts Catalog — and keep it on your tablet next to the torque wrench. One less thing to guess.
