Grimme SE 70-20 1993 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Specs

You have a Grimme SE 70-20 potato harvester with a busted sieving band or a flaky hydraulic valve, and you’re staring at a pile of parts you can’t identify. I’ve been there. Aftermarket parts lists are garbage—wrong numbers, missing revisions, and they never match what’s actually on the machine. This Parts Catalog from 1993 is the only document that tells you exactly which bolt goes where. Factory print, 159 pages, OEM part numbers, exploded drawings. No translation needed for the drawings; the numbers are universal. If you’re ordering parts for a SE 70-20, this is your ticket to not buying the wrong sprocket twice.

This catalog covers every subsystem on the harvester. The table of contents splits into sections like ACHSE STARR (rigid axle), LENKACHSE (steering axle), HYDRAULIK FÜR BUNKERMASCHINE (hydraulics for bunker machine), and SIEBBAND UND KLOPFER (sieve band and knocker). Each chapter has its own exploded view with reference numbers that link directly to the parts list. You find the part number, you order it, done. No calls to the dealer asking “is this the 540 or 580 mm share?” The catalog tells you.

I see too many guys cross-referencing third-party databases and ending up with the wrong hydraulic cylinder for the VERLESETISCH (sorting table). This manual kills that. It’s the same binder the factory service techs use. Page 3 lists the EDV numbers like E93150100 for ACHSE STARR—that’s the factory reference. You call Grimme with that number, they know exactly what you need. Trust me, this is the only way to get it right without sending back three shipments.

Torque Specs? No – This Is a Parts Catalog

Let me be clear: this is a parts catalog, not a service manual. You won’t find torque values or fluid capacities here. What you get is a complete listing of every replaceable component on the SE 70-20, from the GROBKTUTBRAUD (rough cleaning unit) to the KOMPRESSORANLAGE FUR WAAGE (compressor for weighing system). Every part has a factory drawing so you can see how it fits. If you need a new STUTZROLLEN RUND (round support roller), you flip to section 090-3, find the part number, and order it. That’s the value proposition here: no guesswork on part identity.

7 Major Hydraulic Sections – No More Mystery Leaks

The SE 70-20 has a complex hydraulic system because it can be configured as a bunker machine or a platform machine. The catalog dedicates eight separate sections to hydraulics: HYDRAULIK FÜR BUNKERMASCHINE, HYDRAULIK FÜR PLATFORM MASCHINE, HYDRAULIK: VERLESE TISCH UND TRENNGERÄT, HYDRAULIK: BUNKER OHNE KARTOFFELN, HYDRAULIK: DEICHSELSENK FÜHRUNG, STEUERBLOCK BUNKERMASCHINE, STEUERBLOCK PLATFORM MASCHINE, and HYDRAULIK: ROTORWELLE. Each one shows the exact seal kits, valve bodies, and hoses. If you’re chasing a leak on the DEICHSELSENK FÜHRUNG (drawbar lowering guide), you find the o-ring part number right there.

Who’s This For?

If you own or maintain a Grimme SE 70-20 (1993 model year), this catalog is mandatory. It’s aimed at mechanics, farm shop operators, and anyone who buys parts directly. You need to read German? Not really. The parts lists are numeric tables paired with drawings. The column headers are standard: Teil-Nr. (part number), Benennung (description), Menge (quantity). I’ve worked with German manuals for years; you pick it up fast. If you can’t read “LENKACHSE MIT BREMSE” as “steering axle with brake,” you’ll still match the drawing to the part.

I bought a similar catalog for an older Grimme from a reseller—turned out to be a black-and-white reprint with blurred drawings. Don’t bother. This is the original 1993 factory scan, 159 pages, clear enough to read part numbers on the small hydraulic block drawings. You can read about automotive industry standards all day, but this manual follows the same OEM parts identification method used across agriculture equipment.

Source Authenticity – Why It Matters

I won’t push aftermarket copies. This is the real Grimme Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG document, printed in 1993, with the factory part numbering system. Third-party parts catalogs often amalgamate multiple years and configurations, leading to wrong numbers for your specific machine. The SE 70-20 had variations in the SPATENSCHÄRGER (digger shares) depending on the row width (540 vs 580 mm). The factory catalog lists them separately. If you get a generic listing, you might order the 3-share 540 when your machine takes the 2-share 580. That’s a wasted week waiting for the right part.

FAQ

Is this manual in English or German?

German. The drawings and part numbers are universal, but the descriptions and headings are in German. If that’s a dealbreaker, you’ll miss some context. However, the exploded views are self-explanatory for anyone who can read a parts diagram.

Does it cover the SE 70-20 from other years?

No. This is specifically for Baujahr 1993. Earlier or later harvesters used different part numbers for sieving bands and hydraulics. Order the wrong year and you’ll get the wrong part.

Can I use this to repair the machine, not just order parts?

Not really. This is a parts catalog—it shows what the part looks like and its number. It does not include removal procedures, torque specs, or diagnostic steps. You need a separate service manual for that. But if you already have the service manual, this parts catalog completes the picture by telling you which replacement part to buy.

How many pages and what format?

159 pages, scanned PDF. The original file name is GRIMME_SE_70-20_1993_Parts_Catalog_de-110614019175.pdf. Downloadable after purchase. Works on any device.
