Schäffer Lader Parts Catalog: 56 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

If you’ve ever ordered a part from an aftermarket website only to find it doesn’t fit, you know the headache. I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years, and I’ve seen more mismatched parts than I care to count. That’s why this Schäffer Lader Parts Catalog matters. It’s the exact spare parts list Schäffer used to stock their bins. 56 pages of verified factory data – no third-party guesses.

This catalog covers the Lader series equipped with the Kubota V2003-M-T-E2B diesel engine. You get exploded-view illustrations, OEM part numbers, quantities, and serial number breaks. Page 5 shows the instruction sheet explaining how to read columns like REF No., PART No., and REMARKS. If you need a piston ring set for an engine built after serial number 15000, the data is right there.

ILLUSTRATED PARTS LIST: Factory Drawings for Every Assembly

The catalog is built around numbered figures – 0001 through 0809 – each corresponding to a specific assembly. For example, section 0102 covers piston and crankshaft with a figure showing each component. REF numbers point to the part, and the PART No. column gives the OEM number. No generic cross-reference. If the manual says 15800-0000-0 is a piston for engines under 15000 serial number, that’s what you order.

Assemblies include everything from the engine block (0201, 0202, etc.) to hydraulic components (0402–0406) and electrical systems (0800, 0808, 0809). Each section has its own figure number so you can flip right to the drawing.

KUBOTA V2003-M-T-E2B Engine Coverage – Exact Model Match

This parts catalog is built specifically for the Schäffer Lader with the Kubota V2003-M-T-E2B-EU-XB3 engine (code 1G478-14000). If you have that engine, this is the only list you need. The catalog breaks down the engine into sub-sections – 0100, 0101, 0102, 0103, 0105 – covering cylinder head, pistons, valves, and more. Each part is tied to a serial number range. Replace a broken piston? Check the S/N column – “A:<15000" or "B:14000 to 15000" tells you which part number applies.

Don’t trust aftermarket parts catalogs for serial-number-specific parts. They often lump everything into one superseded number that may not fit. That’s how you end up with a piston that’s 0.5 mm too small.

Ordering Parts by REF No. and PART No. – Read the Columns Right

The instruction page (page 5) explains the layout: REF No. (the exploded view reference), PART No. (actual OEM number), PART NAME (in English, French, German), QTY per assembly, and REMARKS (serial number breaks, supersessions). When you call your dealer, give them the PART No. from the catalog, not the REF. REF numbers are just for the diagram. If you order from the ref, you’ll get the wrong widget.

I’ve watched too many beginners stumble here. They see “010” on the drawing and tell the counter guy “I need part 010.” Then they wonder why they got a piston and not a pin. This catalog teaches you the difference. Use the numerical index in the back (pages after 0809) to find a part number fast if you already have the OEM number.

Numerical Index: Look Up Part Numbers Fast

Three separate indexes – English, French, German – list every part number in numerical order. Need to find where 15800-1000-2 appears? Scan the index. It’ll give you the figure number and section. This saves hours when you’re cross-referencing a part you pulled out of the old engine but can’t identify. The indexes are at the end of the 56-page document, right before COVER 3 and COVER 4.

Why Aftermarket Parts Lists Fail – Stick with OEM

Aftermarket parts databases often merge multiple revisions into one “fits-all” number. They ignore serial number breaks. This Schäffer catalog shows different piston part numbers for engines before and after serial 15000. If you ignore that, you may get a piston with the wrong ring groove depth. I pulled a Kubota engine apart two years ago that had a mismatched piston from an aftermarket list. The rings never seated. Customer went through 2 quarts of oil in 100 hours.

That’s why I keep a copy of the original parts catalog on my tablet. It’s 56 pages, no fluff, no reprints. The data came from Schäffer’s own engineering department. Automotive Industry Overview standards don’t apply here – this is a German-made loader with a Japanese engine. You need factory documentation.

FAQs

Does this parts catalog include torque specs?

No. This is a spare parts list, not a service manual. It gives part numbers, quantities, and serial number breaks, but no assembly torques. Pair it with a factory service manual for engine rebuilds.

Can I use this for the hydraulic system?

Yes. Sections 0402 to 0406 cover hydraulic components – pumps, valves, cylinders. Figure numbers are provided with corresponding OEM part numbers. The information is directly from Schäffer’s production line.

What language is the manual in?

Trilingual – English, French, German. The part names and instruction pages appear in all three. The table of contents and indexes are also tri-lingual. Useful if your shop works with multilingual parts suppliers.

How do I read the part number columns?

Page 5 explains it. The REF No. is the callout on the drawing. The PART No. (e.g., 15800-0000-0) is what you order. The REMARKS column shows serial number ranges – look for “A:<15000" or "B:14000 to 15000". If your engine serial falls within a range, that's the correct part. Ignore the curly braces – they're formatting artifacts from the original print.

Look at the TOC image above. See those numbers like 0001, 0201, 0402? That’s the key to finding any assembly. If you need the hydraulic pump, jump to figure 0405. If you need the engine gasket set, go to 0103. No searching through generic diagrams. Every part is right where it should be.

Don’t guess the part number. Automotive Industry Overview parts suppliers may have lists, but they won’t have Schäffer’s serial-number-specific data. You have the factory drawing. You have the OEM number. Download the Factory Manual now and keep it on your phone or tablet. It’s 56 pages – small enough to load fast, dense enough to save you from ordering the wrong piston.
