Teno Motors RB145KA 1991 Parts Catalog

If you are trying to order a part for a RB145KA using some third-party index, you are wasting time. I have seen aftermarket catalogs that list a “similar” bracket for a different chassis number, and then you get a box full of scrap metal. This is the genuine Teno Motors Parts Catalog from 1991 — 372 pages of factory-correct part numbers, location codes, and application tables. The same book a Hino dealer tech would have pulled off the shelf in 1991. No guesswork.

Teno Motors RB145KA 1991 Parts Catalog covers the W04C-T engine and every chassis variant from chassis number RB145K-40013 onward. If you have a bus or truck built on that platform and you need to identify a steering component, a brake diaphragm, or a specific O-ring for the injection pump, this catalog is your map. It does not tell you how to fix it — that is what the service manual is for. This tells you what the factory called that part, where it lives in the assembly, and what superseded it.

Applicable Models and Engine Numbers

Every parts catalog has a scope. Page 3 of this manual lists the exact chassis numbers (RB145KA from RB145K-40013) and engine numbers (W04C-T from W04C-TA10860). If your vehicle falls outside those ranges, you need a different catalog. Inside, you will see a production series code table with wheelbase, transmission series (LE05S), rear axle ratio (4.100), and brake system type — vacuum servo hydraulic, two independent circuits. That matters when you order a master cylinder rebuild kit.

What Does the Group Index Cover?

The group index splits the truck into two major sections: Engine Group and Chassis Group. Under each group, you find sub-groups like cylinder head, fuel system, cooling, exhaust, clutch, transmission, axle, brakes, and suspension. Each part has a location number — A16, B16, F16, etc. — that points to the exploded-view illustration page. You do not flip through 372 pages blind. You go to the numerical index first. Starter Motors are listed under the electrical sub-group; you can cross-reference the part number back to the illustration.

7 Systems for Searching Parts

This catalog uses seven index systems: applicable models, spec outline, very important information (rules for ordering), group index, revision reference code index, numerical index, and alphabetical index. The numerical index alone is worth the price of the access. You have a stamped number on your component? Look it up in the numerical section and it points you to the group and page. No more searching through blurry microfiche copies.

Get the Right Part Number Every Time

Page 4 shows the optional equipment table — tire sizes, sliding door keys, generator options (24V-70A), muffler types, radiator curtain packages. Each option has a group number and option number. If your truck came with a stack tail muffler (option F52-A001), you order that specific part. The catalog also lists the production series codes (AHA, AKA, ANA, etc.) per destination — Australia, New Zealand, Cyprus. You match your chassis to the correct column.

Very Important Information: Why It Matters

The section titled “Very Important Information” on page 5 is not fluff. It tells you this catalog supersedes RB-1012-E, and it applies only to the chassis and engine numbers listed. It also prints the Rules to Be Observed in Placing Orders for Spare Parts or Tools. Use the Parts Order Form sample (shown in the manual) exactly as specified — fill in the correct cat. no. (RB-1013-F for this edition), group number, and quantity. Dealers will reject your order if you skip those fields.

Need a part for a different vintage? Check the Massey-Harris-Ferguson FF 30 GS 1957 Parts Catalog | OEM Fastener Guide or the Futura FC200-FC400 Parts Catalog – OEM Wear Parts Specs for later-model equipment. Another common search: Longagribusiness 410 DTC, 450, 450 DTC, 470 DTC, 530 DTC 2002 Parts Catalog covers a completely different line of agricultural trucks — do not confuse them.

This manual is not a reprint. It is a scan of the original Hino Motors, Ltd. publication, printed in Japan, May 1991. For background on the evolution of truck manufacturing, see the Automotive Industry Overview. But for ordering parts on a 1991 RB145KA, this catalog is the only reference you should trust.

Who Needs This Parts Catalog?

Shop owners with a fleet of Hino RB145KA buses. Owner-operators who maintain their own trucks. Parts counter guys who get tired of guessing the difference between a W04C-T and a W04C-TI block. This catalog gives you the factory part numbers — not aftermarket cross-reference numbers. You can walk into any Hino dealer and hand them the correct 10-digit number from this catalog. The Engine section alone covers everything from the cylinder block to the turbocharger piping.

Source Validity: OEM vs Aftermarket

Third-party parts catalogs often renumber parts to fit their inventory system. Then you end up with a thermostat housing gasket that is 2 mm too thick. This is a direct-from-Hino publication, cat. no. RB-1013-F. The page layout, the part numbering, the revision code index — they match what came out of the Hino factory in 1991. I have compared it to a dealer copy. Identical.

Does this catalog include exploded diagrams for every assembly?

Yes, with location numbers and part callouts. Each group index page points to an illustration page.

How do I use the Numerical Index to find a part?

Turn to the Numerical Index section (starts around page 300). Find the part number you have — say, a bolt with number 94130-00800. The index will list a location number like A16. Then flip to the group page marked A16 in the upper corner. That page shows the exploded view of the assembly with that bolt circled and its part number listed in the table. Write down the quantity and order code. If the part has been superseded, the revision code index (section 5) will show the new number. This process avoids ordering a bolt that is the wrong thread pitch — something aftermarket catalogs routinely get wrong.

Access the Factory Manual and put it on your tablet or print the sections you need. Keep a binder near the parts washer. Every time you disassemble a component, confirm the part number before you call the supplier. That is how you keep a truck on the road and a customer satisfied.
