Terexlift REXROL 5-8 TON, REXROL 7-10 TON 1973 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Reference

I’ve been turning wrenches since before most of you were born, and I can tell you one thing: when you’re rebuilding a steel wheel roller that’s been sitting in a dusty yard since the Nixon administration, you don’t want aftermarket parts lists that show the wrong part numbers. This Terexlift REXROL 5-8 TON, REXROL 7-10 TON 1973 Parts Catalog is the real deal – factory printed by Rex Chainbelt Inc. in February 1973, covering serial numbers HR-136 through HR-220. 47 pages of OEM exploded views, exact part numbers, and the original ordering instructions. No guesswork.

Frame and Covers – Two Distinct Vintages

Look at the index. This catalog breaks the frame assembly into two groups: Previous to HR-201 (pages 19-21) and Effective HR-201 (pages 23-25). If you mix up the hood mounting or side cover brackets because you grabbed a diagram for the wrong serial range, you’ll be ordering the wrong parts. The manual tells you exactly where the design change happened. Pay attention.

Reduction Gear Case Assembly – Page 15-17

Page 15 gives you the pinion and gear breakdown for the REXROL 5-8 TON and REXROL 7-10 TON models. Need the input shaft seal? The manual lists it with the Rex part number. Aftermarket catalogs often skip the thrust washer stack that fits the older gear cases. Not this one. It shows the washer stack order from page 15 onward.

Hydraulic System – Seven Separate Views

This catalog doesn’t lump all hydraulics into one messy drawing. It separates the Sundstrand pump (page 10), Sundstrand motor (page 22), steering Webster pump (page 26), steering ram (page 32), and filter/tank (page 40). There’s even a split for the steering valve: HR-101 through HR-170 plus HR-186 up (page 31) and the in-between HR-171 – HR-185 (page 18). Miss that detail and you’ll order a valve that won’t bolt up.

Power Units – Gas vs Diesel Ford Engines

The 1973 factory index lists Ford 240 gas (pages 1-3) and Ford 242 diesel (pages 7-9) separately. Each power unit has its own parts spread. The gas version uses different intake manifolds and water pump pulleys. If you’re swapping a diesel into a gas chassis, you need both sections to cross-reference. The manual page numbers match the factory bookmarks – no re-indexing needed.

Why You Need OEM Documentation – Not a Third-Party Scan

I’ve seen “perfect copies” of this Parts Catalog that skip the damage claims page (P1B) or crop the serial number notation. Look at page 2 of the original: it tells you to “Always Give Serial Number of Machine” in bold. That page also covers the damage-claim process with the carrier – a step most aftermarket PDFs drop. This Terexlift factory scan includes every page, including the back cover with the parts list for the optional pump-feed fog spray system (pages 35-36) and gravity feed sprinkler (pages 33-34).

Audience Fit – Who Should Use This Manual

You’re a shop owner with a dead roller that won’t move because the steering ram blew. Or you’re a field mechanic trying to order the correct Jabsco water pump (page 39) for the optional spray system. The catalog uses exploded-view line drawings with part numbers and reference numbers – no fancy photos, just the facts. If you’re a home-garage enthusiast, this is the same manual a Rex dealer used in 1973. You won’t find “generic roller” parts here.

FAQ – Common Questions About This 1973 Parts Catalog

What serial numbers does this catalog cover?

Serial No. HR-136 through HR-220. If your roller is outside that range, you need the earlier or later bulletin. The catalog explicitly states this on the index page.

Does the manual cover the optional sprinkler systems?

Yes. Pages 33-34 cover the gravity feed sprinkler; pages 35-36 cover the pump feed fog spray system. Both are listed under OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT in the index.

Can I use this catalog for a 1974 model?

Only if the serial number falls within HR-136 to HR-220. After that, Rex Chainbelt released updated bulletins. Using this catalog for later machines will give you wrong parts numbers.

How many pages and what year?

47 pages. Published February 1973. The file is a direct scan of the original Rex bulletin 443-A.
