Iseki SXG216H 2012 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Parts Breakdown

I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years. If you don’t have the factory parts catalog, you’re guessing – and guessing costs you time and cash. This Iseki SXG216H 2012 Parts Catalog is the real deal: an OEM document, not some aftermarket copy. 100 pages of part numbers, exploded diagrams, and cross-references. It covers the SXG216H lawn & garden tractor, including the SXG216 engine (ET-GB) and all its variants. Page 1 lays out the model type codes – H for EST, S for with seat – so you know exactly which tractor this part fits. No ambiguity.

You ever order a bolt that looked right but was a thread pitch off? That’s what happens when you rely on generic parts sites. This catalog gives you the factory part code, the description, and the quantity per unit. For example, a M8x20 bolt has part number V231-191-301-00. That’s on the engine section. You need that level of detail to keep your machine running, not sitting.

Engine Breakdown: SXG216 ET-GB Section

The engine section is the heart of this catalog. It lists every component from the case/cover (part 859-331-301-20) to the bolt (12×40, part V237-102-335-120). The table shows which models use each part – SDM430, SDM430S, SDM460, SDM480, SDM490. You see a black dot, that part fits. No dot, move on. That’s factory precision. I’ve used these sheets to rebuild three SXG216 engines; the cross-referencing alone saved me five phone calls to dealers.

Page 2 explains the SPC and ITC codes. SPC symbols: ‘*’ means standard, ‘T’ means optional, ‘R’ means replacement. ITC code ‘1’ means old part can be swapped for new. If you’re staring at an old part number and need to know if the new supersedes it, that ‘1’ is your green light. Without that code, you’re gambling on interchangeability. Don’t gamble with your machine.

What Does the Iseki SXG216H 2012 Parts Catalog Cover?

It covers the entire tractor – engine, chassis, electrical, hydraulics? This catalog focuses on the parts breakdown for the SXG216H model with area code E4 (Europe) and model variants. It includes the engine (SXG216 Engine ET-GB), and the parts list is organized by key numbers referencing exploded diagrams. You get the part code, description, model applicability, and quantity. It does NOT contain service procedures (no torque specs or repair steps) – that’s what a service manual is for. But if you need to order a pin, a bolt, a housing, or any OEM component, this is the document.

3 Reasons to Use Factory Documentation

First, accuracy. Aftermarket catalogs sometimes swap part numbers between model years. This 2012 catalog is specific to that year and model. Second, safety. Using the wrong fastener can lead to engine failure under load. Third, time. You avoid the back-and-forth of returning wrong parts. For more on how to read these tables, see ISEKI SXG216H Parts Catalogue Directions for Use.

If you work on other Iseki machines, you might need the Iseki TS3110 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Parts Breakdown or the Iseki TXG23 TXG23FH TXG23TH TXG23E 2003 Parts Catalog. Each one follows the same factory format – no generic junk.

Reading the Parts Table: Key Symbols Explained

Grab page 1 and page 2 of this PDF. Page 1 shows the head paragraph with columns: KEY, PART CODE, DESCRIPTION, TYPE OF MODEL, REMARKS. Under TYPE OF MODEL, you see a row of model designations: SXG216H, SDM430, SDM430S, etc. A black dot (⚫) in a column means that part is used on that model. The lower column under QTY shows the serial number range – for example, ‘229’ means up to serial 229, ‘230-‘ means from 230 onward. Page 2 also mentions parts supplied by meter (M) or liter (I). That matters for cables or fluids. Don’t skip those details.

Fasteners: How to Identify OEM Bolts

Bolt part numbers starting with ‘V’ or ‘W’ are standard market parts. The catalog lists the size (e.g., M8x20, 12×40). If you’re rebuilding an engine, you need the exact grade and length. The automotive industry relies on accurate documentation to prevent failures – see Automotive Industry Overview for context. For a broader perspective, read the Automotive Industry Overview.

One more thing: the catalog uses the term ‘CASE/PPVER’ – that’s the engine case cover. Part 859-331-301-20 fits the SDM430 and SDM430S, but not the SDM460. If you order the wrong one, you’re waiting another week. Don’t guess. Use this catalog.

Does this parts catalog include torque specs?

No, this is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and quantities only.

How do I read the part numbers and interchangeability codes?

The catalog uses a key system on page 1. Part codes starting with ‘V’ or ‘W’ are standard market parts. The column headers show model variants like SDM430, SDM460, etc. You match the black dot under each model to see if the part applies. Also, the SPC symbol classifies parts: ‘*’ standard, ‘T’ optional, ‘R’ replacement. The ITC code on page 2 gives interchangeability – ‘1’ means old part can be replaced by new. Study those pages before ordering parts.

You’ve got a machine that needs parts. You’ve got a budget. You don’t need returns. Access the Factory Manual now and get the right part the first time.
