FIAT Kobelco 312C, 332C, 352C Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a part for a 312C or 332C based on what some internet forum said, and ended up with a bracket that doesn’t fit, you know the waste. This is the original FIAT Kobelco 312C, 332C, 352C Parts Catalog – the one the factory used. 320 pages of exploded diagrams and genuine FIAT part numbers in four languages. No aftermarket guessing. I’ve seen guys spend a whole afternoon chasing a part number that only exists in this catalogue. That’s why this document sits on my bench.

Inside the FIAT Kobelco 312C, 332C, 352C Parts Catalog

Open this PDF and you get the same artwork and part numbers the factory assemblers used. Exploded views for every major assembly – engine, transmission, hydraulics, steering, implements. Each drawing has numbered callouts matched to a list of FIAT part numbers. You order the number, you get the right piece. No cross-reference headaches. The catalog notes superseded parts with a small letter code, so you can track revisions.

Why OEM Matters for Backhoe Loader Parts

Aftermarket parts catalogs often group parts by generic descriptions or show low-resolution images. This one prints the exact FIAT drawing. The difference comes when you need a specific seal or bearing. A generic catalog might list a seal that’s close – but close means a leak. OEM numbering guarantees the original geometry and material spec. For a 352C that’s still earning its keep, guessing costs downtime. This catalog stops that.

320 Pages of Factory Specs – What You Actually Get

Every page in this catalog is a reproduction of the original FIAT Kobelco print. Page 1 shows the stampato number 603.14.005 – that’s the factory document control stamp. The catalog covers the 312C, 332C, and 352C models side by side in many sections. Parts that differ between models are clearly marked. You also get the FIAT part number system logic, so you can decode what each number means. That’s useful when hunting down obsolete parts through salvage dealers.

Can I Use This Catalog for the 332C and 352C?

Yes. The catalog explicitly lists all three models – 312C, 332C, and 352C – in the title and throughout. Where a part is shared across models, the drawing notes it. Where a part is unique, the model designation appears next to the number. No confusion. This is a single document for the whole series.

A Real-World Example: Ordering a Hydraulic Fitting

Last week a buddy with a 332C needed a hydraulic fitting for the loader control valve. He found a part number on a diagram from a third-party website. The part arrived – wrong thread pitch. Three days lost. I pulled up this catalog, found the same valve section, and the number was different. Ordered the FIAT number. Fit perfectly. The catalog includes the fitting’s thread size and orientation in the exploded view notes. That level of detail is missing from reprints.

Four Languages, One Catalog

The manual contains Italian, English, French, and German side by side. If you’re working on a machine that came from Europe, the original FIAT part numbers stay consistent. The language blocks help when reading old service bulletins that cross-reference these part numbers. I keep a copy on my tablet in the shop – beats flipping through 320 pages of paper.

FAQ

Is this a service manual?

No. It’s a parts catalog. No repair procedures.

What model years are covered?

The catalog is the 2nd edition from 1963. It covers the 312C, 332C, and 352C models as originally produced. FIAT Kobelco may have introduced revisions later, but this document gives the base part numbers. Always verify supersession with the factory if your machine has been updated. The print number 603.14.005 indicates the specific revision. Many backhoe loaders of this era have had components swapped over decades, so cross-reference with the serial number of your machine. This catalog remains the starting point for any part identification, even if later editions exist.

Does it include exploded views?

Yes. The catalog uses exploded diagrams with callout numbers matching the part list. You follow the illustration to find the part you need, then order by the FIAT number.

Can I access a digital copy?

Yes – the manual is available as a digital access from AutoRepairManuals. You get a searchable PDF that works on any device.
