FIAT Kobelco 315 Parts Catalog – 319 Pages of OEM Factory Specs

I’ve been running a shop for 28 years. When I need a part number for a FIAT Kobelco 315 backhoe loader, I don’t trust a reprint or a third-party scan. I go straight to the FIAT Kobelco 315 Parts Catalog – 319 pages of OEM documentation that tells you exactly which bolt, bushing, or bearing you’re hunting for. The manual is in five languages, includes a subgroup index on page 18, and starts with ordering instructions on page 5. No guesswork.

Use of the Catalog – Page 9

Page 9 of this catalog explains how to read the exploded diagrams and cross-reference part numbers. It’s written in English (and four other languages) so you don’t waste time decoding syntax. Follow that page before you call a supplier – saves you from ordering the wrong piece because you misread the diagram layout.

Subgroup Index – Page 18

The subgroup index on page 18 is the roadmap. It lists every assembly group – engine, transmission, hydraulics, undercarriage – and the corresponding plate numbers. I’ve seen guys flip through 300 pages blind; that’s a waste of billable hours. Use the index, find your subgroup, and skip straight to the parts plate. Page 18 gives you the exact starting point for each system.

FIAT Kobelco 315 Parts Catalog: What’s Inside

This catalog is broken into three core parts: ordering instructions, model identification, and parts listings. The ordering parts section on page 5 tells you the information you need to give a dealer – serial number, model year, part number format. The model list on orange paper (page 13) helps you verify which variant of the 315 you own. Then the numerical index on page 21 ties every part number back to its illustration. No aftermarket reinterpretation – these are the original FIAT Kobelco drawings.

Why OEM Over Aftermarket?

Aftermarket parts catalogs often combine multiple models into one generic listing and miss critical running changes. This catalog was printed by FIAT Kobelco themselves. Each part number is tied to a specific model series and serial number range. If you’re rebuilding a 315 from the ground up, you want the exact bearing part number, not a “fits most” cross-reference. Trust me, one wrong pilot bearing and you’re pulling the splitter again. That’s time you don’t get back.

3 Critical Sections in This Catalog

First, the Ordering Parts section on page 5 gives you the dealer communication protocol – include your frame number, group number, and part index. Second, the Numerical Index on page 21 lists every part number in ascending order – ideal when you’re looking at a worn part and only have the number stamped on it. Third, the Subgroup Index on page 18 lets you browse by system. Between those three, you can find any part in this machine without internet or a dealer hotline.

A short paragraph: That’s where this catalog stops the guessing.

Ordering Parts the Right Way

Page 5 covers the ordering rules. It tells you to state the model (315), the serial number, the part number, and the quantity. Sounds common sense, but I’ve had guys show up with only a verbal description – and come back empty-handed. This manual includes the exact form you need to fill out for a dealer. It even explains how to interpret the part number suffixes for modified parts. Use it.

FAQ – FIAT Kobelco 315 Parts Catalog

Does this catalog cover all 315 models?

Yes, it includes the model list on orange paper starting at page 13.

Can I use this to find torque specs?

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. Torque specifications and repair procedures are not included. However, the numerical index on page 21 helps locate every part number referenced in the service manual. Pair this with the factory service manual for complete rebuild data. If you’re ordering a bolt for a critical joint, you get the OEM part number here, then look up the torque in the service manual. Don’t mix them up. I’ve seen guys try to guess torque from a parts diagram – that’s how you strip threads. Use the right manual for the right job.

What languages are included?

Italian, French, German, English, Spanish.

How many pages is the catalog?

319 pages – not counting covers. That’s 319 pages of part numbers, diagrams, and indexes.

If you work on FIAT Kobelco 315 machines, this catalog is the difference between ordering the right bearing on the first call and playing parts roulette. 319 pages of factory-original data, with a subgroup index at page 18 and ordering instructions on page 5.
