Case CX160 Excavator Parts Catalog (7-7520)

An excavator like the Case CX160 spends its life in dirt, rock, and mud—trenching, loading trucks, and working around utilities. This parts catalog is what I’d pull when I need to positively identify every component on the machine before ordering. Say the swing area is leaking and we suspect the rotary joint: I’d use this book to trace that assembly, pick out the exact seals, bolts, and wear parts, and make sure they match the machine’s build so nothing is missed or mis-ordered.

Applications & Use Cases

Cross-checking frame, carriage, and undercarriage breakdowns to match the right rollers, idlers, and hardware to your serial tag.
Tracing tank and hydraulic routing so you order the correct hoses, clamps, and fittings for a specific line path.
Identifying rotary joint and drive-line components to replace only the worn internals instead of guessing at complete units.
Verifying counterweight, cab, and support parts when the machine has optional guards or different mounting styles.
Spotting small items—bushings, shims, plugs, O-rings—that are easy to overlook but will stop reassembly if you don’t have them.

FAQ

Q: Can I use this catalog on a tablet in the field?

A: Yes, it’s practical to keep a digital copy on a tablet so you can zoom in on exploded views and search part descriptions right at the machine.

Q: Is it worth printing sections of this catalog?

A: Many techs print only the pages for the area they’re working on, then mark notes and highlight parts to speed up ordering and reassembly.

Safety Note

Always isolate hydraulic and electrical power and follow Case’s safety procedures before inspecting or matching parts on the machine.
