Fiat-hitachi EX60 Parts Catalog

If you have ever ordered a part for a Fiat-hitachi EX60 and got the wrong O-ring or a final drive seal that didn’t fit, you know why this 254‑page book exists. I have spent decades in a 6‑bay shop, and I have seen parts counter guys read the wrong line because the aftermarket catalog had a blurry photo and no machine serial number breakdown. This Parts Catalog is the factory version – the one Hitachi printed for its own dealers. It lists every nut, seal, hose, and bracket by part number, with machine serial number splits, compatibility codes, and page references. No aftermarket reprint, no re-indexed garbage. You get the same pages the dealer uses when he punches in your order.

Engine and Fuel System Parts – Factory Breakdown

Look at the TOC. You will see an ENGINE section, a FUEL TANK section, a PUMP DEVICE section, and all the piping groups. Each page gives you the part number, the quantity, and the specific machine serial number range that part fits. The foreword on page 4 explains how to read the compatibility codes – I, P, T, Y. I have used these codes to confirm that an older fuel tank cap can be swapped onto a later model year without buying the whole assembly. The engine section references the NISSAN diesel FD3304 separate parts catalog, so you know exactly where to go for the powerplant. If you are rebuilding a fuel system on an EX60, start here.

Undercarriage and Track Frame – Part Number Accuracy

Undercarriage parts are expensive mistakes. One wrong track‑link thickness and you are pulling the whole track again. This catalog has the TRACK FRAME, TRAVEL DEVICE, FRONT IDLER, ADJUSTER, UPPER ROLLER, LOWER ROLLER, and TRACK‑LINK 450G sections. Each roller and link is listed with its dimensions and hardness codes – the factory data that aftermarket paper reprints leave out. You also get the CENTER JOINT breakdowns for standard machines and for blade attachment versions. That center joint section saved a buddy of mine three hours of cross‑referencing on a 1998 EX60 with a blade.

7 Systems Covered – Not Just Parts Lists

This is not a pile of exploded views without context. The catalog covers UPPERSTRUCTURE (frame, radiator, air cleaner, muffler, swing device, oil tank, main piping groups), UNDERCARRIAGE, FRONT‑END ATTACHMENTS (boom, arm, buckets), OFFSET BOOM PARTS, BLADE ATTACHMENT PARTS, OPTIONAL PARTS, and TOOLS AND SPARE PARTS. Each section includes the assembly diagram, a numbered callout, and a table with part numbers, descriptions, quantities, and interchange notes. The optional parts chapter lists radiators with wavy fins, track‑links in five different gauges, buckets from 0.1 to 0.3 cubic meters, and long arms. If you run an EX60 with a breaker or crusher, the PIPINGS sections for breaker/crusher (including NPK and Okada/Furukawa variants) are in there.

How the Parts Index Saves Your Weekend

Go to the end of the book – the PARTS INDEX. Every part number is alphabetically sorted with a page reference. If you have a rusty part number tag, look it up in the index and flip directly to the page. The index also marks newly added parts with a ‡ symbol. I used this index to find a pilot piping O‑ring for a DX machine in under two minutes. That is the difference between OEM documentation and a third‑party PDF that dumps you into a generic search box.

Does This Catalog Include the SDX and DX Variants?

Yes. The foreword specifically tells you that some pages are marked SDX or DX – these are territorial or machine‑specific variations. When ordering, you need to know whether your machine is SDX or DX. The catalog spells out that the driver’s seat is always the LEFT side, front‑end attachments are FRONT, counterweight REAR. For undercarriage, the travel motor is REAR. These orientation rules prevent ordering a left cab door when you need a right one. One of my techs ignored this and ordered a cab cover for an SDX machine that did not fit his DX. The manual cost him a restocking fee. Read the foreword.

Source Validity – OEM vs Aftermarket Parts Catalogs

This is a genuine Hitachi parts catalog, printed by the factory and digitized from the original. The OCR excerpt on page 3 shows the Japanese and English part number conventions, the I/P/T/Y compatibility codes, and the machine serial number breakdown. I trust this because it matches the paper manual I kept in my toolbox for years. Aftermarket catalogs often re‑number pages, remove the factory notes, or omit the “Z” engine parts marker. Here, every engine‑related part is marked with “Z”. The manual also tells you that engine parts require the separate NISSAN diesel FD3304 catalog – it does not pretend to cover everything. That is honest. If you want a HITACHI EX60 Parts Catalog without the fluff, this is it.

Who Needs This Parts Catalog?

If you own an EX60 excavator and order parts more than twice a year, you need this. Home garage enthusiasts working on a used EX60 will save the cost of the manual on their first order. Professionals – mechanics, shops, rental yards – should have this on the tablet next to the service manual. The catalog covers every assembly from the RADIATOR to the CAB GROUP to the DOOR LOCK mechanisms. The CAR HEATER section for SDX machines is a nice bonus. I have used this to locate a discontinued seat part and find a cross‑reference to a current option. For beginners: the catalog uses exploded diagrams and part number columns – you do not need to read schematics, just match numbers.

How do I find the right part number for my EX60?

Use the PARTS INDEX at the end of the catalog. Locate the part name or number, note the page, then cross‑check the machine serial number range listed on that page. Look for SDX or DX markings if your machine is one of those variants.

Does this catalog include torque specs for bolts?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, quantities, and interchange data. For torque specifications, you need the factory service manual. This catalog focuses on ordering – not assembling.

What is the difference between SDX and DX in this manual?

Territorial or machine‑specific equipment differences. The catalog marks pages accordingly. When ordering, confirm your machine type – the nameplate on the main frame or cab lower right side tells you.

Can I use this to order engine internal parts?

The engine chapter covers mounting parts, cooling, fuel lines, and air cleaner – but not internal engine components. The foreword directs you to the NISSAN diesel FD3304 parts catalog for pistons, rings, gaskets, etc. This catalog handles everything else.

Stop wasting money on wrong parts. Access the Factory Manual and start ordering with the same part numbers the dealer uses.
