Ihimer 35J Parts Catalog

If you run a shop that touches compact excavators, you already know the pain of ordering the wrong seal kit because someone labeled a part number wrong. That’s time, money, and a pissed-off customer. The Ihimer 35J Parts Catalog fixes that problem the only way it should be fixed: with original factory drawings and part numbers straight from Ishikawajima Construction Machinery. This is not a reprint from a third party – it’s the actual OEM document. 240 pages of exploded views and indexed parts, covering every major assembly on the machine.

240 Pages of Factory Indexed Part Breakdowns

This catalog runs 240 pages, and every page serves a purpose. You get the lower machine section starting on page 2 with the crawler shoe assembly, front idler, rollers, and traction piping. The turntable and swing bearing assembly starts on sheet 2-1, and the swing drive device follows on sheet 3-1. Each section pulls parts from the exact same database the assembly line used. That matters when you need a bushing for the front idler and don’t want to gamble on a generic replacement.

Page 68 kicks off the hydraulic instrument section: traction motor, swing motor, control valve, solenoid valve, and every cylinder on the machine – boom, arm, bucket, boom swing, and blade. If you’ve ever had a customer wait three days for a cylinder seal because the aftermarket book listed the wrong bore diameter, you understand why only the factory catalog keeps your parts counter from looking stupid.

Lower Machine Assembly: Crawler Shoes and Front Idler

The undercarriage on a 35J takes a beating. Sprockets, idlers, rollers – they all wear, and the only way to order the right track assembly is with the correct OEM part number. Sections 1-1 through 1-15 lay out every component in the lower machine, including the crawler shoe adjustment device (sheet 1-3). No generic sketches here: the exploded views show exactly how the adjuster rod, spring, and yoke fit together. For comparison, check the Ihimer 80 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs for Mini Excavator. That manual covers a different model, but the indexing is identical.

Hydraulic Piping: What the Manual Gives You

Hydraulic lines on the 35J run through every corner of the machine. The catalog dedicates 32 pages to piping alone – return and suction, swing and traction, pump discharge and boom swing, control piping (short lever and CE variants), and traction shift piping. Each assembly gets its own sheet with callouts keyed to the part number list. If you’re rebuilding a machine that came in with a cracked hose, you can point to the exact fitting without measuring or guessing. The IHI 35J MINI EXCAVATOR Parts Catalog is the only source that matches the factory routing diagram.

Why Aftermarket Catalogs Fail on the 35J

I’ve seen aftermarket parts lists that swap the left traction motor with the right motor because someone transcribed the drawing backward. That doesn’t happen here. This PDF comes from Ishikawajima Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. – the same people who designed the machine. The index on page 3 lists every sheet number and page, so you can find the swing drive device (sheet 3-1) in about five seconds. A quick look at the Automotive Industry Overview on Wikipedia shows why OEM documentation is the standard for liability and accuracy; this catalog meets that standard.

Who Needs This Parts Catalog Most?

If you’re a DIY owner maintaining your own 35J, the 240 pages of part callouts will save you from buying the wrong $400 track motor. For shop owners, it means your parts guy can quote the right seal kit without cross-referencing three spreadsheets. Beginners who are new to excavator repair: you’ll learn the names of every assembly – from the rotary joint (sheet 5-3) to the blade cylinder (sheet 5-13) – and understand how the machine is built. The operating controls section (6-1 through 6-4) covers traction levers, control levers, and engine control, so even if you’re just replacing a broken lever, you have the part number.

There is one thing this catalog does not do: it does not include service procedures, torque specs, or troubleshooting steps. That’s the job of a service manual. If you need those, pair this parts catalog with the corresponding shop manual. For other Ihimer models, see the Ihimer 80VX 80NX3 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Parts List – same factory source, different machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specs for the hydraulic fittings?

No. This is a parts catalog – it lists part numbers and exploded views only. Torque values belong in the service manual.

I see the PDF has sheets numbered like 5-1 through 5-58. How do I use those to order parts?

Each sheet corresponds to a specific assembly; the sheet number is printed at the top of the page along with the page number. For example, sheet 5-58 is the traction shift valve assembly. Find the part callout letter (like “A” or “B”) on the drawing, then look up the corresponding line in the parts table on that same page. The table gives the part number, description, quantity, and sometimes the supersession notes. If you need a boom cylinder seal kit, go to sheet 5-9 (boom cylinder) – the exploded view shows every seal and spacer with its part number. This method works across all 240 pages. The index at the front of the catalog lets you jump directly to any assembly.

Having the right part number in your hand before you call your supplier makes the difference between a one-day repair and a week-long headache. The Ihimer 35J Parts Catalog is the factory-issued file, not a scanned copy that lost resolution on the critical callouts. Access the Factory Manual now and keep your parts ordering straight.
