Terexlift 3 to 5 Ton, 4 to 6 Ton 1973 Parts Catalog

You’ve got a Terexlift 3 to 5 Ton, 4 to 6 Ton 1973 Parts Catalog in your cart. Good. Because I’ve watched guys spend an afternoon guessing which steering ram fits their steel wheel roller, then order the wrong one from a third-party list. That costs time, money, and maybe a lost job. This is the original factory bulletin #466 from March 1973. It covers serial number HG532 and up. 29 pages, no reprints, no generic numbering.

Transmission Control and Console Deck – What’s Actually Listed

Page 1 of the manual is the Transmission Control section. That’s the mechanical linkage, not the hydraulic drive. If your console is loose or the deck is cracked, pages 2 and 3 break down every screw, cable, and panel. The Instrument Console section (page 466-1) lists the Stewart Warner cluster – including the ammeter, temperature gauge, and tachometer. You get the exact Cole Hersee part numbers for the start button and ignition switch. No guessing which key fits the #95522A switch – it’s right there on the page.

Engine & Pump Installation – Continental Power Unit

The Engine section is buried under Power Unit (Continental) on page 466-4. This isn’t a service manual; it’s a parts breakdown. You see the mounting brackets, the pump drive coupling, and the hardware. Need the water pump for the sprinkler system? That’s on page 466-21 (Jabsco). The Drive Pump (Sundstrand) and Steering Pump (Vickers) are separate sections with individual part numbers. If you’re rebuilding the hydraulics, you need this book to order the right seal kit.

Brake and Gearbox – Splitting the Assembly

Brake parts show up in two places. First, the Brake & Gearbox section on page 9 of the printed bulletin. Then the Transmission — Gearcase, Brake section on page 466-13. The brake band, the lining, the return spring – all listed with factory part numbers. Don’t try to cross-reference aftermarket brake linings without the original dimensions. The book gives you the exact assembly breakdown so you can measure or order direct.

Sprinkler System – Gravity Feed, Fog Spray, Scrapers

This is a specialty item. The Sprinkler System runs across pages 10 and 11 (printed), then continues on page 466-18. Gravity feed, fog spray nozzles, scrapers – all separate exploded views. The water pump is a Jabsco unit; the part number is there. If your roller has a towing attachment, that’s on page 466-22. Lights and horn on page 466-23. Nothing is left out.

Source Validity – OEM Factory Print vs. Aftermarket

I wrote this when I was debriefing a young tech after he installed a chinesium brake band that didn’t match the original. He used a third-party parts list. This manual is the original 1973 Rex factory print (Terexlift). The table of contents is laid out by section, not by random part number. You see the exact serial number range – HG532 and up. Any manual that doesn’t give you the serial number cutoff is a generic reprint. This one is original.

Who Should Use This Manual?

Home garage enthusiasts who own a steel wheel roller from the 70s. Equipment owners who need to identify a cracked console part. Even beginners – but only if you can read an exploded view and match numbers. The manual won’t teach you how to repair a transmission; it will tell you what to order. Pair it with the service manual (we have those too – see related products below).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specifications for the brake or engine?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, quantities, and exploded views. For torque specs, you need the factory repair manual for the same model.

Can I use this to identify parts for a Terexlift roller built before serial HG532?

Not reliably. This bulletin is effective from serial HG532 onward. If your machine is earlier, the part numbers may differ – the console, hydraulics, and brake assembly changed over the years. Check the serial plate before ordering. The manual is 29 pages and covers both 3 to 5 Ton and 4 to 6 Ton models. The table of contents lists 24 distinct sections. If you’re not sure, call me – but I’d rather you just buy the correct bulletin for your serial number.
