FIAT Kobelco ED150, ED150-IE 2013 Parts Catalog

If you are ordering parts for an ED150 or ED150-IE Blade Runner, you already know the pain of getting a seal kit that doesn’t fit because some aftermarket catalog guessed the part number. This is the factory catalog – printed by Kobelco in 2013, 304 pages, and it cuts the guesswork out of ordering. No shortcuts, no reprints, no third-party data. You get the exact part numbers tied to serial number ranges and figure call-outs. That’s the difference between a job that takes an hour and one that takes a week waiting for the wrong piston rod.

Low Group and Upper Group: The Spine of the Catalog

The catalog splits the machine into two main groups: Low Group and Upper Group. This is not arbitrary – it follows how the machine is built. The Low Group covers undercarriage, frame, and travel components. The Upper Group handles the cab, engine enclosure, and controls. Within each group, you get figure numbers with exploded views. Parts are referenced to those figures. Page 3 in the General Information tells you that left and right are always from the operator’s seat facing forward. That matters when you are ordering a track roller and need to know which side. Aftermarket catalogs mix this up all the time.

Hydraulics Chapter: Finding the Correct Cylinder Seals

The Hydraulics section is detailed. It breaks out each cylinder assembly with its own figure number and part list. Take the hydraulic cylinder referenced as 396137A2 on page 4 of the catalog. The listing shows the cylinder assembly, the pin, the rod piston, the bumper, and the seal package. Each item has a part number. The seal package (item 11 in that figure) has a note: not serviced as a separate case assembly – you order the whole cylinder if the seal package is unavailable. That kind of footnote saves you from ordering a part that doesn’t exist. The catalog also uses symbols to indicate repair kits. You can spot them in the figure call-outs. Without the factory symbols, you are guessing.

Name Plate: Why the Serial Number Matters

Every machine has a name plate. This catalog is organized by serial number breaks. For example, the hydraulic cylinder listing shows YR/SN ranges: BTW 01/85 & 02/02, Before 01/85, From 01/85, with specific serial numbers like BSN JUC0189200 and ASN JUC0189200. If you ignore the serial number, you will order the wrong piston part number. The Name Plate section of the catalog shows you where to find that data on the machine. It’s not decorative – it’s the key to using the whole book. I have seen guys throw away a good cylinder because they ordered the wrong pin from a generic list.

How to Use Your Parts Catalog: The Figure Number System

Pages 4 and 5 explain the figure number system in detail. Each figure has a figure number, a sequence code, a page number, and a date of printing. The orientation arrow shows front of machine. Bracketed items in call-outs are included in the description area. The footnote area lists additional information like supersessions. This is not a manual you can skim. You have to read the “How to Use” page. The layout is consistent across all Kobelco parts catalogs. Once you learn it, the next catalog (like the KOBELCO ED150 Blade Runner ACERA SR Service Manual) will be easier. But this one is the parts reference. If you are also working on the ACERA SR version, the KOBELCO ED150 ACERA SR Blade Runner Parts Catalog is a separate document – do not mix them. For other excavator models, the KOBELCO LK650-II Excavator Parts Catalog follows the same layout.

3 Sections You Must Check Before Ordering a Single Part

First, the General Information on page 3. It tells you that common hardware may not be illustrated – it’s listed in the description column. That means bolts and washers for mounting a cylinder are not included with the assembly. Order them separately. Second, the illustration note: pictures show typical assemblies, not exact shape of every part. Third, the copyright page – this catalog was issued 10/2013 and printed in U.S.A. If you get a reprint from a third party, the page numbers might shift, and you’ll lose the figure references. This is the original PDF.

What About Electrical or Engine Parts?

This catalog covers only parts. It does not contain service procedures or wiring diagrams. For that, you need the service manual. However, the part numbers for electrical components like switches and solenoids are listed in the Upper Group sections. The Automotive Industry Overview includes some background on how construction equipment parts catalogs are structured, but for the ED150, this is the only source that matches the 2013 production. The engine itself is a diesel – for general engine theory, see Internal Combustion Engine, but for the actual FIAT Kobelco injection pump part number, you need page 245 or wherever the fuel system appears in the Upper Group. I don’t have that page number in front of me, but the catalog is complete.

FAQ: Quick Answers from the Workbench

Does this catalog include the backhoe attachment parts?

Yes. The ED150 is a Blade Runner excavator/dozer. The backhoe (excavator) attachment is covered under the Low Group and Hydraulics sections. Each cylinder and pivot pin is listed with a figure number.

Can I use this catalog for the ED150-IE model?

Yes. The catalog title says ED150 / ED150-IE. The serial number ranges will tell you which parts apply to the -IE variant. Check the YR/SN columns.

I need a torque value for a hydraulic fitting. Is it in this book?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. Torque specs are not listed. You need the service manual for that.

How do I find a part number if I only have the old part in my hand?

Cross-reference the old part’s dimensions against the figure drawings. Then look for the part number in the description column. If the part has a Kobelco number stamped on it, search the PDF. The catalog is fully searchable.

This is the exact same PDF that Kobelco dealers use. 304 pages, factory serial number breaks, original 2013 issue. Access the Factory Manual and stop wasting time on aftermarket catalogs that guess the part numbers. Your wrench will thank you.
