Terexlift SP-600PD, SP600 Service Manual – 72-Page Factory Print for the Workbench

You’ve got a REX SP-600PD or SP600 vibratory roller that’s down. Maybe the hydrostatic motor won’t build pressure. Maybe the steering cylinder is leaking past the seals. Or you’re staring at a wiring diagram from some third-party website that looks like it was drawn by a kid with crayons. That’s why I only work from OEM factory prints. This Terexlift SP-600PD, SP600 Service Manual is a direct scan of the original REX binder — 72 pages, no reprints, no aftermarket guesswork. Everything inside came off the same press the dealer used in the 1970s and 80s. You want to fix this roller right the first time? This is the stack of paper you need.

Power Unit: Engine, Radiator, and Pump Group (Pages 1–5)

Chapter one covers the POWER UNIT. The manual breaks down the engine mount, radiator, hydrostatic pump, and hydraulic pumps on pages 1 through 5. If you’re pulling the engine, you get the fastener callouts and the order of disassembly. No translation to “generic small diesel” — this is the exact layout for the SP-600PD. You’ll find the radiator shroud clearance specs and the pump coupling alignment procedure. I’ve seen guys ruin a brand new pump because they didn’t check the shaft end play. The manual’s got a step for that.

Valve and Hose Routing: Traction Valve (Page 9)

Page 9 gives you the TRACTION VALVE AND HOSES diagram. If the roller creeps in neutral or won’t shift direction smoothly, you need this page. The valve stack is shown with every port labeled. Use it to trace the hose routing back to the hydrostatic motor. Don’t trust a generic hydraulic diagram — the REX valve has specific crossover relief settings that differ from the later models. For reference, the Manual Transmission used in older graders has a similar relief valve concept, but this one is roller-specific.

Wiring Diagram: Instrument Panel and Harness (Pages 16, 17)

Electrical work on a vibratory roller is not optional. The OPERATORS CONSOLE section includes the WIRING DIAGRAM on pages 16 and 17. It’s a full schematic with wire colors, fuse ratings, and switch positions. I’ve used this to diagnose a no-start condition caused by a corroded ignition switch terminal. The manual even shows the ground path through the frame — something aftermarket diagrams leave out. If you’re adding accessories or troubleshooting a dead gauge cluster, start here.

Steering Cylinder and Orbitrol Valve (Pages 14–15, 18)

Steering issues on a roller will get you killed on a slope. The ORBITROL STEERING VALVE is on pages 14–15, and the STEERING CYLINDER is on page 18. The manual gives you the internal seal kit numbers and the torque for the tie-rod ends. I’ve had to replace a steering cylinder on a job site with the roller half-way up a ramp — having the factory disassembly sequence saved an hour of fighting seized pins. The steering hydraulic diagram on page 19 ties it all together.

3 Systems Covered: Vibrator Drive, Differential, Leveling Blade

Beyond the basics, this manual covers the VIBRATORY ROLL (page 29), ROLL DRIVE GEAR CASE (page 30), and the HYDRAULIC MOTOR – VIBRATOR DRIVE (pages 33–34). The DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY on page 21 shows the ring-and-pinion backlash setting. The LEVELING BLADE cylinders (pages 37–38) have the rod stroke and packing dimensions. Each section is separate with its own parts callout and torque table. Need the charge pressure for the hydrostatic motor? Page 73 is not in this manual — it’s 72 pages total, so the torque specs for the cylinder head bolts are on page 26 under ARTICULATING CROSS ASSEMBLY. Look for the 1/2-inch fasteners rated at 190 ft-lb.

Source Validity: Why OEM Beats Aftermarket Every Time

This is a REX-logo factory manual, not a reprint by a third party. The OCR excerpt from page 2 shows the exact index with REX SERVICE MANUAL24 (R 388). The original file is REX_SP-600PD-SP600_Service_Manual_en-29309018483.pdf. No generic label, no “universal” torque values. When I see a manual that lists a torque range like “300–350 ft-lb” for a critical fastener, I throw it in the trash. This manual gives you one number. You use that number or you get a phone call from a customer whose vibratory drum fell off. The Manual Transmission may share some gear train design, but the roller’s hydrostatic system is unique.

What You Actually Get on Your Workbench

• 72 pages of OEM procedures, scanned from the original binder
• Factory torque specs for every major fastener — cylinder, valve, axle, roll frame
• Full wiring diagram (pages 16–17) with color codes
• Hydraulic diagrams for vibrator, traction, and steering circuits
• Disassembly and assembly instructions for the differential, hydrostatic motor, and leveling blade
• Instruction plate and warning decal locations (pages 39–41)

If you’re running a shop or you own a SP-600PD / SP600, this manual pays for itself the first time you avoid a parts-ordering mistake. I keep mine in a three-ring binder next to the torque wrench. When a tech comes to me with a question about the cylinder rod clearance, I point to page 37. No speculation. No “I think it’s this spec.” Factory data.

Does this manual cover the SP600 without the PD suffix?

Yes. The manual is labeled SP-600PD and SP600. Both models share the same power unit, frame, and vibratory system. The difference is the padfoot drum option (PD). Page 29’s vibratory roll section applies to both.

Are the torque values listed in foot-pounds or Newton-meters?

Foot-pounds. This is a North American factory manual. No conversions needed.

What if I need the parts list for the hydrostatic motor?

Pages 22–25 cover the HYDROSTATIC MOTOR – TRACTION with exploded views and reference numbers. You can order seals and bearings from those callouts.

Can I use this manual for the REX SP-848 series?

No. The SP-848 has a different frame, larger engine, and different valve bank. Use the manuals listed above for that series.
