Terex Benford 5, Benford 6, Benford 7 1997 Parts Catalog

If you’re ordering a brake hose for a Terex Benford 5 dumper and the parts guy asks for a number, you’d better have the right one. I’ve held up too many jobs because someone grabbed a generic part off the shelf that didn’t fit. This is a genuine factory Terex Benford 5, Benford 6, Benford 7 1997 Parts Catalog – October 1997 edition, 118 pages of exploded diagrams and factory part numbers. English, French, German, and Spanish text on every page. No aftermarket interpretation. No translation errors. You want the exact bolt, seal, or hose for a Benford 6 or Benford 7? Start here.

Engine – Perkins: Part Number Breakdown

Page 26 in this catalog covers the Engine – Perkins section. That’s not a generic diagram – it’s the specific Perkins engine used in these dumpers. You get a table with item numbers, part numbers, quantities, and descriptions in four languages. Need a piston ring set? The factory number is right there. I’ve seen too many guys order a Perkins engine kit for a different application and end up with the wrong gasket set. This manual cuts that guesswork. The exploded view shows exactly how the timing cover, oil pan, and cylinder head stack together. If you’re rebuilding the Terex Benford 5 engine, you can verify every part against this list before you order.

Brake System Hydraulics: Factory Specs Are Non-Negotiable

Brake system parts are the last place you want to make a mistake. The Brake System Hydraulics chapter starts on page 42. It lists every seal, pipe, and master cylinder component. I’ve had a wheel cylinder blow out on a job site because someone used an aftermarket substitute. The catalog gives you the exact part number for the brake hose, the pipe clips, the banjo bolts. No guessing. If you’re working on a Benford 7 with a hydraulic brake setup, you need this page open on your bench. Use the factory numbers, or you risk brake failure. Period.

Front and Rear Frames – How the Diagrams Work

Page 2 shows the front and rear frames with a parts list that includes grease nipples, washers, nuts, clips, covers, pins, hoses, and the main frame casting itself. Each item has a part number and a description. The layout is standard Terex – you read the diagram, match the callout number to the table, and order the part. For example, item 17 is the rear frame (part 1586-1034), item 16 is a plate (1585-1005). That level of detail extends through every section: Straight Skip and Fittings, Swing Skip and Fittings, Gearbox, Transfer Box, Axles and Wheels. If you’ve ever fought a mismatched frame bolt, you’ll appreciate having the right number the first time.

Does This Catalog Cover Both Early and Late Axle Hubs?

Yes. Look at the table of contents: Axle Hubs – Early Model (page 86) and Axle Hubs – Later Model (page 88) are separate sections. That’s important because the Benford 5 and Benford 6 went through a hub design change. Also note the Gearbox Components section is split into two versions: before 31st December 1997 and after that date. This catalog was printed in October 1997, so it includes both. If your machine was built after the cut-off, you need the later parts manual supplement. But for 1997 models, this is the exact document Terex dealers used.

118 Pages of Spare Parts Listings

Every chapter in this 118-page catalog is a numbered section with its own parts table. You get the full drivetrain: Gearbox, Transfer Box, Axles and Wheels, Differential Casing and Components, Planet Carrier, Pinion Cartridge. Plus the hydraulics: Straight Skip, Swing Skip, Hydraulic Tank. And the electrical system: Electrics, Electrics – Lights, Electrics – Control Box. Even the ROPS & FOPS cab structure and Diesel Tank are covered. That’s every wearable part on the machine. If you’re maintaining a fleet of Benford 6 and Benford 7 dumpers, this catalog pays for itself in the first wrong-part return you avoid.

Why Factory Documentation Beats Aftermarket

I’ve seen aftermarket parts catalogs that reprint pages from a different model and change the part numbers. That’s a disaster. This is original Terex documentation from 1997, scanned and preserved. The part numbers are the ones Terex stamped on the parts. The diagrams are the engineering drawings, not some third-party photocopy. If you rely on aftermarket, you’re rolling the dice on brake line threads and seal diameters. With this factory Parts Catalog, you have the exact number. No translation loss, no typo in the part number because someone re-typed it. Want to see proof? Compare the handbrake linkage on page 40 with any aftermarket version. The factory catalog has the correct spring and clevis pin numbers. That’s why I tell every guy in my shop: if you can get the factory book, use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What years does this parts catalog cover?

It covers the Benford 5/6/7 dumpers built up to October 1997, with separate sections for early and late axle hubs and gearbox changes around December 1997.

Is this a repair manual or a parts catalog?

Parts catalog only. No repair procedures or torque specs.

Does it include wiring diagrams?

Yes – the Electrics, Electrics – Lights, and Electrics – Control Box sections list every switch, fuse, and connector with factory part numbers. Diagrams are exploded views, not schematics.

Can I use this for a Benford 7 with a Perkins engine?

Yes. The Engine – Perkins section on page 26 covers the engine used in all three models. But verify your machine’s serial number. If your Benford 7 has a gearbox built after December 1997, you need the later supplement. For 1997 models, this catalog is the exact guide. I’d also check the differential and planet carrier sections – they cover both early and late variants. That level of detail is why factory documentation costs more but saves you a week of ordering wrong parts.
