FIAT Kobelco 655 1931 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs

If you own a FIAT Kobelco 655 1931 Parts Catalog machine and think you can wing it with aftermarket part numbers, you’re going to end up with the wrong hydraulic line or a bearing that doesn’t fit. I’ve seen it. This 345-page factory catalog gives you the exact exploded diagrams, OEM part numbers, and ordering instructions from FIAT Trattori. No guesswork. You need the part? You find it in the numerical index and cross it against the subgroup plates. That’s how it’s done.

This isn’t a service manual. It’s a parts catalog – built for one job: getting the correct replacement piece on your bench. Published in 1931, it covers the FIAT Kobelco 655 series in five languages (Italian, French, English, German, Spanish). The multi-language layout means you can hand it to any supplier and get a straight answer.

Ordering Parts: Page 5 Rules You Cannot Skip

Page 5 contains the Norme per le ordinazioni – the ordering instructions. Skip these and you’ll waste time and money. The catalog requires you to specify model, serial number, and part number exactly as listed. Miss a digit and the supplier sends you something that doesn’t fit. Follow the rules on page 5 and the process works.

Use of the Catalog – Page 9 Starting Point

Page 9 explains how to read the catalog. It tells you that orange paper means model list, that subgroup index starts at page 17/1, and that numerical index begins at page 19/1. Read it once and you can navigate all 345 pages in under a minute.

Subgroup and Numerical Index: Your Fastest Search

Two indexes inside this Parts Catalog: subgroup index (page 17/1) groups parts by function – engine, hydraulic, driveline. Numerical index (page 19/1) lists every part number in ascending order. Find the number, then flip to the corresponding plate. The plate shows the assembly and lists each part above it. That’s the system. It works for any FIAT Kobelco 655 variant.

Spare Parts Plates: Visual Identification

Every plate in the Tavole section shows an exploded view of the assembly. Above each plate is the spare parts list with quantities and part numbers. Need a bearing for the differential? Find the plate, read the list, order the number. The plates are clear enough that you can identify a worn bushing without disassembling half the machine.

Modifications Tables and Miscellanea: Bearings, Cables, Connectors

Page 1M starts the modifications tables – important for later production changes on the 655. Then the miscellanea section: bearings (page 1T), electrical cables (page 3T), cable terminals and boots (page 4T), and cable insulation tubes (page 5T). These tables give you the exact spec for common replacement items. If you’re rebuilding the wiring harness, you need pages 3T-5T.

Why OEM Documentation Matters for a 1931 Machine

Aftermarket parts catalogs for old equipment are often reprints of reprints with illegible part numbers. This is a direct scan of the original FIAT factory print. The part numbers are crisp, the plates are readable, and the cross-referencing works. For a machine as old as the FIAT Kobelco 655, you can’t afford to guess. One wrong bearing can seize the output shaft. That’s days of downtime. For context on why proper documentation is critical in the Automotive Industry Overview, read the linked article. But the short version: OEM data is the only data you trust. Automotive Industry Overview

A word about using this catalog with modern suppliers: some original part numbers may be superseded. That’s fine – you take the OEM number to your dealer and let them cross it. This catalog gives you the starting point that aftermarket books can’t.

Does this catalog cover the engine?

Yes, but only as part numbers and diagrams. You won’t find torque specs or repair procedures.

Can I order parts from a dealer with these numbers?

Possibly, but many original parts are obsolete. The catalog provides the base numbers; a dealer can look up supersessions. For hard-to-find items, you may need to source from salvage yards or specialty suppliers.

Is this the same as a repair manual?

No. This is a parts catalog only. For service procedures, timing specs, and hydraulic pressures, you need a separate service manual. This catalog tells you what piece goes where – not how to install it.

How fast can I learn the numbering system?

Read page 9. That’s all.

If you work on a FIAT Kobelco 655, this Parts Catalog saves you from ordering blind. Access the Factory Manual and get the exact part numbers your machine needs.
