Terex 2566C, 2766C 1998 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual

If you’re ordering parts for a Terex 2566C, 2766C 1998 Parts Catalog truck and get the wrong part because someone used a third-party cross-reference, you’re the one eating the return shipping. I’ve seen it happen twice in the last month. This is the factory book – Terex Part Number 15270955, published January 20, 1998. It covers serial numbers A7001001 through A7001250. 428 pages of exploded views, index codes, and part numbers that match what came off the line in Motherwell, Scotland. No aftermarket shortcuts.

Index Codes: How This Manual Is Organized

Page 5 spells it out. Each parts page has an Index Code – three numbers. First is the Major Section (like Section 1 – Chassis, Section 9 – Front Axle, Section 26 – Body System). Second number is the sub-section within that section. Third is the page code. If a section doesn’t apply to your model, it’s omitted. The Table of Contents lists all included sections. You get separate Tractor, Tractor Optional, Trailer, and Trailer Optional TOCs. Means you can find the exact part for the tractor body or the trailer body without flipping through pages that don’t belong.

7 Sections That Cover the Entire Machine

Major sections include Chassis, Front Axle, Body System, plus drivetrain and hydraulic components. The index covers Sections 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 26, 27, and 59. Each of those sections has sub-sections with page codes. For the tractor optional table, you get a different set of index references – Sections 1, 2, 6, 9, 12, 13, 15, 17, 27, 59. The trailer optional table covers Sections 1, 8, 10, 18, 26, 27. If you need a part for the optional equipment, you’d better reference the correct table, or you’ll order a part that doesn’t fit. This catalog forces you to pick the right path.

Does This Parts Catalog Cover the Entire Truck?

Yes – the tractor and trailer are both documented. The tractor primary TOC lists sections for the chassis, engine-related components, axles, and body system. The trailer TOC covers Sections 1 (chassis), 7 (maybe suspension?), 8, 10, 13, 18, 26, 27. The optional tables add extra sections for equipment that wasn’t standard. If you’re working on a 2566C or 2766C with Cummins 6CTA 8.3-C240, this is the one. Serial range A7001001–A7001250. Anything outside that range, you’ll need a different date code.

Warranty Information: Read This Before Ordering

Page 3 carries the factory warranty statement. Six months from sale on new Terex replacement parts. Doesn’t cover labor for removal or reinstallation. Doesn’t cover damage from overloading, negligence, or using parts for something they weren’t designed for. That warranty only applies if you order parts through an authorized Terex dealer – and you need the sales slip. This catalog doesn’t replace that process, but it gives you the exact part numbers so you’re not guessing when you call the dealer.

Get the Right Part Number the First Time

Each exploded view shows the assembly with callouts. You read the callout number, cross-reference to the parts list, and get the Terex part number. No confusing hyperlinks, no “compatible with” nonsense. This is the same book the dealer’s parts counter used in 1998. If you need to order a part for the trailer hitch or the body lift cylinder, you’ll find it listed under the appropriate section index. I’d bet my torque wrench that the part number printed here is the one Terex shipped.

FAQs

Does this manual include torque specifications for assembly?

No. This is a Parts Catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and exploded views. For torque values, you need the corresponding service manual. That said, the catalog does show fastener part numbers, so you can order the correct bolt if you strip one.

Can I use this for a 2566C with a serial number above A7001250?

You can try, but Terex made updates. The catalog covers A7001001 through A7001250. Parts may change after that range. Order at your own risk.

What format is the access?

PDF, 428 pages, scanned from the original factory print. You get the same content as the paper book – no OCR errors, no missing pages. The file name is TEREX_2566C-2766C_1998_Parts_Catalog_en-28914015375.pdf.

How do I read the index codes on the page edges?

Page 5 explains the three-number code: Major Section, Sub-section, Page Code. The first number tells you which major component group (Chassis = 1, Front Axle = 9, Body System = 26). Use the Table of Contents to match that index code to the part you need.

If you’re working on a Terex 2566C or 2766C, skip the aftermarket junk. TEREX 2566C/2766C Parts Book is the same document.
