Case CX290 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a part for a Case CX290 crawler excavator and ended up with the wrong bracket, bolt, or seal because the aftermarket catalog had a fuzzy drawing and a part number that was close but not exact, you know the frustration. That’s why this Case CX290 Parts Catalog belongs on your bench. This is a factory OEM document – 527 pages of exploded views, reference numbers, and OEM part numbers that match the machine as it left the factory. No reprints, no scanned copies that blur the bolt callouts. Direct from Case.

Engine Mounting: Two Versions (Until and After DCH29B0258)

The catalog splits the engine mounting section into two separate views – one for machines up to serial number break DCH29B0258, and another after that break. Turn to page 2 and you’ll see the first layout with 23 reference numbers for the engine assy, spacers, rubber blocks, bolts, and washers. Page 3 lists the matching part numbers with quantities and cross-references to other sections. The second layout on page 4 shows the same area after the serial break, with additional components like the controller and support bracket. If you’re rebuilding the front engine mount on a CX290, this is where you verify which rubber block part number (KRH1225 or KRH1226) your machine takes. Get that wrong and the engine will sit crooked – not acceptable.

What the Part Numbers Tell You

Every part number in this Parts Catalog follows Case’s actual numbering system. KBH0916 for the engine assy, 159657A1 for a M10x1.25×25 bolt, 150409A1 for a washer. When you call a dealer, you give them the exact number from this catalog. No cross-referencing, no guessing. And because it’s factory, you know the bolt grade (10.9, for example) and the exact dimensions – M16x140 vs M16x210 makes a difference when you’re torquing down a rubber block. Aftermarket catalogs often combine both bolts into one generic listing. This one doesn’t.

527 Pages of Exploded Diagrams

You get exploded view diagrams for every major assembly: engine, cooling, hydraulics, undercarriage, cab, electrical, and attachments. Each page lists the reference number, part number, quantity, and description. If a component is a sub-assembly, the catalog tells you which page to go to for its breakdown – for example, the engine assy on page 2 points you to pages 02-017-00-01 through 02-061-00-01. That means you can drill down from the big picture to the smallest seal or sensor without flipping back and forth blindly.

Does This Catalog Cover Your Specific CX290?

The catalog is titled “CX290 CASE CRAWLER EXCAVATOR (EUROPE)” but the parts are applicable to North American models as well – Case used the same part numbering across regions. However, if you need a service manual with torque specs and repair procedures, consider the Case CX290 2002 Service Manual for step-by-step disassembly. For operation and maintenance schedules, grab the CASE CX290 Excavator Operator’s Manual 2002. And if you want the full electrical and hydraulic schematics, the Case CX290 2001 Technical Manual – OEM Factory Specs has those. This Parts Catalog is strictly for ordering – not for diagnosing why a track won’t turn.

Source Authenticity: OEM vs Aftermarket

I’ve seen aftermarket parts catalogs that list a generic rubber block for every excavator brand. That will cost you a day of swapping parts that don’t fit. Case’s own catalog gives you the exact shape and dimensions because it’s drawn from the original engineering data. The document we sell is a direct OCR of the factory PDF – not a third-party reprint. If you see a part number in here, you can order it with confidence that it’s what Case put on the machine. That’s the difference between a 40-year-old shop using an OEM catalog and a kid on YouTube who says “this bolt should work.”

FAQ

Can I use this catalog to order parts online?

Yes – every part number is the OEM Case number. Enter it into your dealer’s system or any online parts house that stocks Case components.

Does the catalog include hydraulic hose part numbers?

Yes, the hydraulic system sections list hose assemblies with part numbers and lengths. But verify the fitting type – the catalog shows the hose assy, not the individual fittings. You’ll need the service manual for fitting torque specs.

What if my CX290 serial number isn’t listed?

The catalog covers serial number breaks. If your machine falls outside those ranges, check the Automotive Industry Overview or contact Case directly with your serial number for the correct catalog supplement.

Is this a PDF format?

Yes. Instant access, 527 pages, searchable text. You can print specific pages for the workbench without worrying about grease ruining the whole book.
