FIAT Kobelco 566, 566 DT Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs

You’ve got a FIAT Kobelco 566 or 566 DT backhoe loader on your lift, and the parts diagram you’re holding came from a third‑party reprint that swapped two bolts in the hydraulic block. Now you’re staring at a mis‑matched pin and wondering if the seal kit you ordered will even fit. I’ve been there. That’s why I only trust the factory Parts Catalog – the one Fiat Trattori printed in Modena, not some scan from a tractor forum. This manual runs 567 pages front to back, and every single part number traces back to the original engineering drawings.

Use of the Catalog – Page 9

Page 9 spells out exactly how to decode the exploded plates and the corresponding parts list. Fiat printed the instructions in five languages – Italian, French, German, English, Spanish – because they knew a backhoe doesn’t care what language you speak when a bushing seizes. You start at the Indice dei sottogruppi (sub‑group index, page 17/1), find the assembly you need, then flip to the plate number. No guessing, no “this might fit.” The part numbers are tied to the illustration callouts. If you order by the number printed here, you get the factory piece. If you guess, you get a box of wrong parts and a pissed-off customer.

Ordering Norms – Page 4

Before you write down any part number, read page 4. Fiat Trattori dedicated that page to ordering rules – how to specify quantities, what to do when a part is only sold as part of a kit, and how to handle supercessions. This is the kind of detail that keeps a shop from ordering five individual bolts when the factory sells them as a pre‑packed set. Miss that page and you waste money. The manual gives you the full picture: part numbers, quantities per machine, and the correct paint or coating code if applicable. No aftermarket catalog includes the legal notice about proprietary numbering – this one does, on page 3.

7 Major Sections Covering the Whole Machine

The TOC groups the tractor into logical sub‑systems: engine, transmission, front axle, rear axle, steering, hydraulics, and chassis. Each sub‑group index (starting page 17/1) lists the plates for that system. Need the steering cylinder seals? You’ll find the plate number, then the parts list directly under it. The plates are actual factory drawings, not photographs, so you can see the orientation of every clip, O‑ring, and shim. I’ve used this catalog to rebuild the entire hydraulic circuit on a 566 DT – every fitting, every hose, every elbow had a distinct number. Took one phone call to the dealer, and the parts showed up correct.

Why a Factory Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket Copies

Aftermarket sellers love to reprint Fiat manuals from the 1980s, but they often delete the revision tables or blur the part numbers. This copy came from the original Fiat Trattori print run – 1^a edizione, stampato n. 603.14.266.03. The pages are crisp, the numbers are legible, and the Elenco delle varianti (variant list, page 13) tells you which parts changed between the 566 and the 566 DT. The DT model has different planetary gears and a different final drive ratio – if you order standard 566 parts, you’ll be pulling the axle back out. Only the OEM manual makes that distinction obvious.

Audience: Who Needs This 567‑Page Document

If you own a 566 or 566 DT backhoe, this catalog belongs in your toolbox. The same goes for any shop that services Fiat-Kobelco equipment – when a customer rolls in with a cracked housing, you need the part number fast. The manual also helps if you’re restoring a machine and want to source NOS parts. It lists every bolt, washer, and breather cap. Independent mechanics, ranch operators, and even dealer parts counters keep a copy. The 567 pages cover everything from the engine block plug to the ROPS mounting hardware. You won’t find a single blank page – every spread has a plate or a list.

One more thing: the manual uses imperial fasteners where applicable – this was built for the North American market too. Fiat Trattori knew their machines would cross the Atlantic.

FAQ

Does this parts catalog include torque specs or repair procedures?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, quantities, and exploded views. For repair steps you need the corresponding workshop manual.

How do I find the part number for the hydraulic pump on a 566 DT?

Open the sub‑group index (page 17/1) and look for “hydraulic system.” Each sub‑group has a plate number. Flip to that plate – the pump is shown with callouts. The parts list under the plate gives the FIAT part number. The same procedure works for the 566 – just check the variant list first because the DT uses a different pump drive gear.

Can I use this catalog to order parts for a FIAT Kobelco ED150?

No. The 566 and 566 DT are separate models with unique parts. You need the correct catalog for your machine – see the related manuals listed above for the ED150 series.

Is this the same manual the dealer uses?

Yes. Fiat Trattori published this as the official spare parts catalogue. Dealers use the same part numbers and the same plate numbers. If a dealer tells you a part is discontinued, you can verify the supersession in the catalog and find the replacement number yourself.
