Fiat-allis 355 1980 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual 350 Pages

Ordering wrong parts for a Fiat-allis 355 1980 Parts Catalog machine costs you time, money, and can create safety hazards when a replacement doesn’t fit. I’ve seen guys throw a generic bearing into a final drive and have it fail inside a week. That’s why you need the actual factory catalog—not a reprint from someone’s scanner that lost the page numbers. This 350-page original, printed in 1980 by Fiat Trattori S.p.A., gives you the exact exploded views, part numbers, and ordering instructions straight from the manufacturer’s engineering department.

Ordering Parts by the Book – Page 5

Page 5 lays down the rules: how to order replacement parts so you don’t get a box full of the wrong stuff. It covers the format for part numbers, what information to include, and how to reference the model codes. You screw this up and the supplier sends you a part for a 355 with a different engine serial number. That’s a delay you don’t need.

Use of the Catalog – Page 9

Page 9 explains how to read the catalog’s layout. Each section uses a subgroup system, and the spare parts are shown on plates with lists above them. If you skip reading page 9, you’ll flip around wondering why the numbers don’t line up. The manual is multilingual—Italian, French, English, German, Spanish—so page 9 tells you which language applies where. Check it before diving into the plates.

Model List and Subgroup Index – Orange Paper Pages 11 and 15

The model list is printed on orange paper (page 11) so you can find it fast. It lists every variant of the Fiat-allis 355 covered. The subgroup index on page 15 breaks down the machine into systems: engine, transmission, hydraulics, undercarriage, etc. You don’t guess which subgroup your part lives in—you use the index. That’s how a shop avoids pulling a whole rear housing when you only need a seal.

Spare Parts Plates and Lists – The Core of the Catalog

These pages make up the bulk of the manual. Each plate is an exploded diagram of a component. Directly above the plate, the parts list gives the item number, part number, quantity, and description. Because it’s OEM, those part numbers match what Fiat-allis stamped into the metal. Aftermarket catalogs renumber things, and you end up with a bolt that has the wrong thread pitch. Stick with factory numbers from this catalog and you get the right bolt every time.

Modifications and Miscellaneous Tables – Pages 1M and 1T

The modifications section (page 1M) lists engineering changes that happened during production. If your 355 was built after a certain serial number, you need a different part. The miscellaneous tables cover bearings (page 1T), electrical cables (page 3T), cable terminals and boots (page 4T), and insulation tubes (page 5T). You’re rebuilding a wiring harness? Those terminal drawings show exactly which crimp connector to order. No guesswork.

Who Needs This Manual and Why It Matters

If you maintain a Fiat-allis 355—whether in a construction fleet, a rental yard, or your own gravel pit—you need this catalog. Automotive Industry Overview reminds us that equipment downtime eats profit. A parts catalog doesn’t have torque specs (that’s the service manual’s job), but without it you’re guessing part numbers. For a beginner, using the subgroup index and the numerical index (page 25) will save hours of phone calls to the dealer. For a pro, it’s the reference you put on the bench next to the machine.

Source Validity – OEM Factory Print vs. Aftermarket Copies

This is the actual factory catalog, 2nd edition, stamped “11 LUG. 1980” (July 11, 1980). It’s from Fiat Trattori’s official press. Aftermarket versions often skip the modifications tables or renumber the plates. Don’t trust those. I’ve seen aftermarket catalogs for the 355 that omit page 5 ordering instructions entirely—then someone orders a part without the machine serial number and gets the wrong one. The OEM print is the only reliable source for part numbers and cross-references.

FAQ

Is this manual in English?

Yes. The English section starts on page 9 with “Use of the Catalog.” Parts lists and plates use English labels alongside Italian, French, German, and Spanish.

How do I find a specific part number if I don’t know the subgroup?

Use the numerical index on page 25. It lists every part number in the catalog in ascending order and shows which subgroup and plate it appears on. If you already have a part number from a previous order or from the machine itself, go straight to page 25 instead of hunting through the subgroup index. That index includes not just standard parts but also items from the modifications tables. For example, if your 355 has a later hydraulic pump, the modified part number will be listed there. Then flip to the corresponding plate, check the drawing, and confirm it matches your component. This method works 95% of the time. The remaining cases involve superceded parts, which the OEM catalog notes in the modifications tables (page 1M). Aftermarket catalogs rarely include supercession data, so you’d end up ordering a part that was replaced years ago and is no longer available. Stick with the OEM index.

Stop wasting time on part numbers that don’t fit. Automotive Industry Overview tells you equipment matters—but only if you can fix it. Access the Factory Manual and get the correct parts list, exploded views, and ordering instructions for your Fiat-allis 355.
