FIAT Kobelco 855 C 1984 Parts Catalog

You are looking at the FIAT Kobelco 855 C 1984 Parts Catalog. Let me tell you why this matters on the workbench. If you are trying to rebuild a backhoe loader without the original parts breakdown, you are going to order the wrong bearing, waste a week waiting for the correct one, and end up with a machine that sits. I have seen it happen. This catalog is the one FIAT Trattori published in 1984 — 337 pages of factory part numbers, exploded diagrams, and the exact procedure for ordering parts. No third-party reprints, no scanned garbage. This is the original.

337 pages of factory data.

What This 337-Page Parts Catalog Actually Contains

The table of contents is laid out in five languages: Italian, French, German, English, Spanish. That alone tells you it was built for international service. You get the ordering rules starting on page 5, then the model list on orange paper, variant list on orange paper, subgroup index, spare parts index. The core of the manual is the plates — exploded views with corresponding part numbers. You also get modifications tables and miscellanea sections covering bearings, electrical cables, cable terminals, and insulation tubes. The subgroup index on page 17/1 lets you find any assembly fast, and the spare parts index starting on page 19/1 is a cross-reference for part numbers. If you need a specific nut or seal, that index will point you to the right plate.

Ordering Parts Correctly: Page 5 Rules

Most people skip the ordering instructions. Then they complain the dealer sent the wrong part. Page 5 spells out how FIAT Kobelco wants you to reference each item. Use the correct code. Include the model and serial number. Follow the format. If you skip that, you are wasting your time. The catalog also includes a ‘Use of the Catalog’ section on page 9 that explains how to interpret the numbering system. Read it. I have seen techs order a seal for the wrong variant because they ignored the variant list on orange paper. That list, starting on page 13, cross-references machine serial numbers to specific parts. Without it, you are guessing.

Bearings, Electrical Cables, and Terminals: The Miscellanea Tables

Starting at table 1T, this catalog lists every bearing used on the 855 C. Not just a part number — the bearing type, dimensions, and application. Same for electrical cables: length, gauge, terminal type. The insulation tube specs are there too. If you are rewiring a 30-year-old machine, these tables are gold. Aftermarket catalogs often skip the cable specs or fudge the bearing dimensions. This is the real data from the factory. The cable terminals and boots table on page 5T gives you the exact connectors for each wire size. The insulation tube table on page 7T lists the protective sleeving. These sections alone can save you from ordering a misrouted harness or a bearing that binds after ten hours. I have used these tables on an older FIAT Kobelco loader to replace a hydraulic pump bearing that the local parts house swore was discontinued. I found the exact bearing number in the 1T table and cross-referenced it to a generic — saved the machine. The miscellanea section is not a throwaway appendix; it is a critical resource.

Why OEM Documentation Beats Aftermarket Copies

I have seen aftermarket parts catalogs that list a seal for the 855 C that was only used on the first 50 units. The aftermarket compiler grabbed the wrong page from an old supplement. With this original FIAT Kobelco catalog, you are getting the exact parts list as of 1984. The modifications tables on page 1M list any changes made after initial production. You can trace which parts supersede others. That is something a third-party copy will not give you. In the broader Automotive Industry Overview, OEM documentation is respected because it comes with revision traceability. This catalog has that. The Automotive Industry Overview might mention standards, but this manual enforces them.

Who Needs This Manual?

If you own a backhoe loader and you do your own repairs, you need this. If you run a shop that services older FIAT Kobelco equipment, you need this. The 855 C is a specific machine — not a generic model. Using a one-size-fits-all parts lookup from the internet is a gamble. This catalog eliminates the guesswork. It gives you the factory part numbers for every component, from the engine to the hydraulic system. Related manuals like FIAT Kobelco ED150, ED150-IE 2013 Parts Catalog OEM cover other models, but for the 855 C this is the one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual include wiring diagrams?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It includes electrical cable specs and terminals, but not full wiring diagrams.

How do I find part numbers for a modified 855 C?

The catalog includes modifications tables starting on page 1M. These tables list changes made to the original design by FIAT Trattori. If your machine’s serial number falls within a certain range, you need to check the modification tables to see if a part has been superseded. For example, a bearing may have been replaced with a different type. The tables will tell you the new part number and the effective serial number. Without these tables, you might order the original part that no longer fits. That is why you want the genuine catalog, not a copy that may have omitted the modifications section.
