Schäffer Lader Parts Catalog: Kubota V1505-BB Engine Spare Parts List

You’ve got a Schäffer Lader loader with a Kubota V1505-BB diesel that’s down because a plug is leaking or a seal is gone. You pull the part, eyeball it, and hope the aftermarket listing matches. That’s how you end up with the wrong thread pitch and a loader that sits another week. This Schäffer Lader Parts Catalog is exactly what the factory uses — 46 pages of exploded diagrams and genuine part numbers for the Kubota V1505-BB engine family. No guesswork, no cross-referencing a third-party list that’s missing half the revisions.

Kubota V1505-BB Engine Breakdown: Crankcase and Cylinder Block

Page 5 of the catalog shows the crankcase group with reference numbers for every component — from the COMP.CRANKCASE assembly (part number 17203-0101-2) down to the drain cock assembly (15841-7302-0). You’ll find the six sealing caps, four plugs, two straight pins, and the idle gear shaft. Every part is keyed to a Kubota OEM number. If you need a replacement for the O-ring on the crankcase plug (15221-3370-0) or the governor gear bushing (15241-9366-0), this is where you find it. The exploded view shows exactly how the parts stack — no description can replace seeing that layout.

Illustrated Parts List: How to Read the Exploded Diagrams

Each page follows the same format: reference number, part number, part name in three languages (English, French, German), quantity per assembly, and a remarks column for variant codes. For example, the plug marked as reference 050 (16261-9601-0) is quantity 1, but reference 060 (16241-9602-0) is quantity 3. The diagram draws the parts in position, so you can visually confirm where that pipe (15241-3396-0) goes before you order it. Beginners: don’t skip the remarks column — it tells you which engine variant uses that part. The V1505-BB-EC-1 and V1505-BBS-EC-1 share most parts, but not all.

Forty-six pages. That’s the entire catalog. No fluff, no reprints — just the original PDF from Schäffer.

Plug, Seal, and Pipe Part Numbers: What You Need to Order

The catalog covers more than the big assemblies. You get the small stuff that most aftermarket lists get wrong: the start spring pin (15221-5628-0), the set screw (15221-9361-0), the sealing gasket (15021-3366-0). If you’re chasing an oil leak around the crankcase plugs, reference 070 (16241-9605-0) is a plug used only on the V1505-BG2-SAE-1 variant. The OEM part number is your only guarantee it seats correctly. Don’t trust a generic “drain plug” — the thread pitch and taper differ. Page 3 of the catalog shows the engine model breakdown — make sure you match your serial number.

Does This Parts Catalog Include Torque Specs?

No. This is a spare parts list, not a service manual. It gives you the part numbers and quantities, but you won’t find torque values or assembly procedures here. If you need the head bolt torque for the Kubota V1505-BB, you want the factory service manual, not this catalog. But for ordering the correct gasket, plug, or O-ring, this catalog is the only source you should trust. Pair it with a service manual and you’ve got the full picture.

Why Factory OEM Parts Catalogs Beat Aftermarket Listings

Aftermarket databases often combine part numbers from different years or engine serial breaks. This catalog was printed for the Kubota V1505-BB-EC-1, V1505-BBS-EC-1, and V1505-BG2-SAE-1 engines as of June 1994. The part numbers are locked to that revision. If you order a crankcase assembly using a generic aftermarket number, you risk getting the wrong block — the COMP.CRANKCASE for the -BB-EC-1 (17203-0101-2) is different from the one for the -BBS-EC-1 (17203-0104-1). The catalog shows both. You can’t get that level of detail from a parts website that lists “engine block, fits V1505.” This is the same document a Schäffer dealer pulls up when you call with a serial number. The Automotive Industry Overview recognizes that OEM documentation is the gold standard for repair and maintenance.

3 Steps to Ordering the Correct Schäffer Lader Spare Part

First, identify your engine model and serial number from the engine plate. Second, find the exploded diagram for the assembly you need — crankcase, cylinder head, fuel system, whatever. Third, read the part number directly from the catalog and order it. Don’t use the reference number (like 050) — use the part number (16261-9601-0). The reference number changes between pages; the part number is the constant. The Schäffer Lader D1503-M-E3B Spare Parts List follows the same format for a different engine. Cross-reference if you have a hybrid machine.

Beginners: if you’re not comfortable reading an exploded diagram, start with the COMP.CRANKCASE section on page 5. The drawing is clear and the part numbers are listed directly below. Count the quantity — if you need two of a straight pin (05012-00816), make sure you order two. The catalog lists quantity per assembly, not per machine. If you have a twin-cylinder engine, adjust accordingly. The Schäffer Lader Spare Parts List page on our site links to all available catalogs for this brand.

FAQ

Is this parts catalog in English?

Yes, the document is bilingual German and English. Part names appear in English, French, and German on each page.

Can I use this parts catalog to rebuild the engine?

Not by itself. This catalog gives you the part numbers and quantities, but it does not include assembly procedures, torque values, or clearances. You need a factory service manual for the Kubota V1505-BB to know how to install the parts correctly. For example, the catalog lists the O-ring for the crankcase plug (15221-3370-0), but it doesn’t tell you to lubricate it before installation or what torque to tighten the plug to. If you’re rebuilding the engine, get both the parts catalog and the service manual. The parts catalog ensures you order the right components; the service manual tells you how to put them together without breaking something. The Automotive Industry Overview notes that proper documentation is essential for durable repairs.
