Terex 3360B 1998 Parts Catalog

You ever tear down a brake caliper only to find the seal kit you ordered doesn’t match the grooves? Waste a whole shift chasing a part number that doesn’t exist? I’ve been wrenching 28 years, and I’ll tell you straight: the only way to avoid that hole is to start with the factory parts book. This Terex 3360B 1998 Parts Catalog is the exact document Terex published for their 3360B off-highway truck (Cummins QSK-19C low emissions, serial T7501001 and up). 328 pages, original 1998 print, no aftermarket rehashing. It lists every single serviceable part with Terex part numbers, quantities, and exploded illustrations. If you’re fixing one of these trucks, you want this on your bench, not a blurry scan from some forum.

What’s Inside the 3360B Parts Catalog

This book is split into Major Sections that cover the whole machine. Page 5 shows the system: each page has an Index Code with three numbers – Major Section, Sub-section, and model PLI. For example, Section 100 is Chassis, Section 140 is Front Axle Group, Section 230 is Body Hoist System. You don’t flip through blindly. You start at the Table of Contents (that’s on page 1, not the blank pages – someone left page 2 blank, classic factory style), find your section, and turn to the correct illustration. Need a steering cylinder rebuild? The Table of Contents points you to the steering Major Section. Every part on that drawing has a callout number that ties to a part number and description. I’ve used these books to order pins, bushings, seals – never had a mismatch when I followed the factory index.

Finding the Right Part: Chassis, Axles, and Body Hoist

Three areas that eat up time if you guess: chassis hardware, front axle components, and the body hoist hydraulics. This catalog covers all of them. Under Section 140 (Front Axle Group), you’ll find the kingpin sets, steering knuckles, and wheel-end parts. Section 230 includes the hoist cylinder, control valve, and tank. Each part has a Terex part number, and the book shows the exact quantity needed for a complete assembly. You don’t have to wonder if the bolt pack includes washers – the illustration shows the stack. For safety, always match the OEM part number, especially on brake and steering components. A generic seal might fit but fail under load. That’s not a gamble I take.

Why Factory OEM Documentation Beats Aftermarket Lists

Aftermarket parts catalogs are compiled from guesswork and cross-reference databases. One wrong character and you’re ordering a $700 hydraulic pump that doesn’t mate to the mounting bracket. Terex printed this book from the same engineering drawings used on the assembly line. The part numbers are the ones Terex stamped on their bins. The illustrations are to scale, with correct bolt patterns and torque callouts (where applicable – this is a parts catalog, not a service manual, but the exploded views clue you into assembly order). I’ve got a buddy who rebuilt a 3360B suspension using an aftermarket list – he ended up with the wrong spring rate. Cost him a week. This is the real deal. The [Automotive Industry Overview] on Wikipedia talks about how OEM documentation reduces error – that’s exactly what you get here.

Audience: Who Needs This Catalog on Their Bench

If you’re a shop owner or a heavy-equipment mechanic working on Terex off-highway trucks, you need this. DIYers with a 3360B in their yard? Same. Parts guys at dealerships use these every day. It’s also useful for fabricators who need to identify threads and bolt grades for replacement. This catalog won’t walk you through a full rebuild, but it will tell you exactly what part goes where. Combine it with the factory service manual for a complete picture. I keep a copy in my shop’s reference binder – saves me phone calls to the dealer on every single part.

Using the Illustrated Index to Navigate 328 Pages

Flip to the Illustrated Index page. It shows all Major Component Section numbers – you see Section 100, 140, 230, etc. Each section has a thumbnail drawing of the assembly. Pick the one that matches your machine area, then go to that section in the book. Within each section, sub-sections are grouped logically. For example, Section 100 Chassis includes the frame rails, crossmembers, and mounting brackets. If you need a frame bolt, you’ll find it listed by size and grade. The book also includes a parts query index at the back (page 320-ish) sorted by part number. So if someone hands you a rusty part with a stamped number, you can look it up and find its location. That’s a time-saver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specifications for the 3360B?

No. This is a parts catalog – it lists parts, not repair procedures or torque values. You need the separate service manual for torque specs.

How do I look up a part if I only have the old part number?

Use the numerical index at the back of the book. It lists every Terex part number in ascending order and tells you which page and diagram to find it on. I’ve used that index to cross-reference superseded numbers on older machines.

What serial numbers does this cover?

From serial number T7501001 and up. If your 3360B is older than that, some parts may differ – Terex made revisions in 1999. This catalog was printed July 1998, revised March 2000, so it includes updates.

Can I use this for other Cummins-powered Terex trucks?

Partially. Some components like the engine accessories might cross, but the chassis and body hoist sections are specific to the 3360B frame. For other models, get the dedicated catalog – we have Schaeff-terex SKL 863 2003 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual, Schaeff-terex SKL 853 2003 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM 485 Pages, and Schaeff-terex SCL 515 2002 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual. Each is model-specific and just as critical.

Look, I don’t care if you’re a rookie or a graybeard – ordering parts without the factory book is asking for trouble. I’ve seen guys spend hours on the phone because they relied on a third-party cross-reference. Don’t be that guy. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and get the Terex 3360B 1998 Parts Catalog on your screen or printed out. It’s 328 pages of pure, verified data. Your time is worth more than guesswork.
