Terex Schaeff SKB 800 1983 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Parts Identification

If you are chasing part numbers for an old SKB 800 loader excavator, you know the problem: aftermarket lists with wrong numbers, missing diagrams, and no serial number range. I have been wrenching on heavy equipment for 28 years. That kind of guesswork costs time and money. The original 1983 factory parts catalog from Terex Schaeff SKB 800 1983 Parts Catalog is the only source that matches your machine’s build. This is a 200-page document, not a scanned reprint of a copy. It comes from the original German print, with trilingual text in German, English, and French.

Two hundred pages of factory diagrams. That is what you get. Each section breaks down assemblies by exploded view, with ten-digit part numbers. You do not guess what bushing or seal fits — you read the number off the page and order it.

Terex Schaeff SKB 800 1983 Parts Catalog: Trilingual Parts Diagrams

Every diagram in this catalog is labeled in German (Ersatzteilliste), English (Parts Catalog), and French (Catalogue pièces). The part numbers themselves are universal. Even if your machine is a US-market model, the diagrams match. The catalog covers serial numbers from 021/1029 up to 021/1609. If your SKB 800 falls in that range, every part listed is the exact production part.

What This Catalog Covers – From Lifting Frame to Parking Brake

The table of contents starts with Hubrahmen (lifting frame), Kipphebel (tilt lever), Lenker (steering linkage), Ladeschaufel-Schutz (loader shovel guard). Then it works through the front and rear carriage, oscillating center pivot, oil and diesel tanks, axle and universal joint shafts, engine assembly, covers and breather box, instrument panel and steering unit, travel pedals, service brake operation, and parking brake operation. Every subsystem is drawn with callouts to factory part numbers.

Section 5 covers Motoreinbau (engine assembly). Section 7 covers the instrument panel and steering unit. Section 8 gets into Fahrpedale (travel pedals). If you need to identify a part on the brake system, sections 9 and 10 cover the service brake and parking brake actuation.

Ordering Parts the Right Way – Factory Instructions

Page 3 of the original catalog lists seven requirements for placing a correct order. Most mechanics skip this — then get the wrong part. You need: 1) machine type (SKB 800 B), 2) machine serial number (found on the type plate near the lifting frame mount, right side in travel direction), 3) part designation exactly as written in the catalog, 4) the full ten-digit part number, 5) quantity, 6) shipping address with postal code, 7) hand- and brake designations (right/left relative to travel direction). Ignore any of these and the dealer cannot process your order.

Original Schaeff parts are designed for a specific purpose. Using non-original parts voids factory warranty. The catalog explicitly warns about this.

Why You Need the Serial Number and Type Designation

The catalog is valid only for machines within the serial number range 021/1029 to 021/1609. If your SKB 800 was built before or after that, some diagrams may still help, but you must verify with the factory. The type plate is located on the front carriage, right side, opposite the operator station. Without that number, you risk ordering parts that do not fit. This is not a generic guide — it is a serial-number-specific document.

If you need parts for a related model, check the Schaeff-terex SKL 863 2003 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual. For the SKL 853, the Schaeff-terex SKL 853 2003 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM 485 Pages is available. And for compact loaders, see the Schaeff-terex SCL 515 2002 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Manual. These are all original factory documents.

Page 8 Focus: Travel Pedals and Pedal Assembly

Section 8 (Fahrpedale) shows the complete travel pedal assembly with all related linkages, springs, and mounting hardware. The diagram gives exploded views with each part numbered. Using that page, you can order a specific pedal bushing or return spring without disassembling the whole cab. It saves you from having to match samples at a parts counter.

Is this catalog the same as the one sold by Terex dealerships?

Yes. It is the original 1983 factory print. Not a copy or a reproduction.

Does this catalog include torque specifications or repair procedures?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, exploded diagrams, and quantities. For torque specs you need the factory service manual. However, the parts catalog does include reference numbers for ordering correct fasteners. Many users find it essential for identifying exact hardware — especially when a bolt has been replaced with a non-original part. Without the part number, you risk using the wrong grade fastener, which can cause failures in lifting frame or axle mounts.

Can I use this catalog for my SKB 800 with a serial number outside the range 021/1029–021/1609?

The catalog is verified for that range. Machines outside that range may have different part numbers, especially for engine or hydraulic components. Use the diagrams as a reference but verify with Terex Schaeff before ordering.

What languages are used in the text and diagrams?

German, English, and French. The part numbers and diagram callouts are consistent across all three. The ordering instructions on page 3 are printed in all three languages.

You do not have time to chase wrong part numbers or rebuild with mismatched components. When you have a 1983 SKB 800 on your lift, you need the factory data. Access the Factory Manual to get the original 1983 parts catalog – 200 pages of parts identification that will get you the right parts the first time.
