Terexlift SP1300 1973 Parts Catalog – OEM Exploded Diagrams & Part Numbers

Description

Any mechanic who’s worked on heavy equipment knows the drill — you pull a worn transmission housing, check the old part number, and call around. Half the time the counter guy reads you a number that looks right, but the bolt pattern is off by half an inch. That’s why I keep factory parts catalogs like this Terexlift SP1300 1973 Parts Catalog on the shelf. It’s 48 pages of nothing but OEM part numbers, exploded views, and the exact ordering specs Rex II (Terexlift) issued in 1973. No reprints, no aftermarket guesses.

48 Pages of Factory Data: From Basic Unit to Roll Over Protection

This catalog breaks down every major assembly on the SP1300 Dirt model. It kicks off with the Basic Unit (page 2–3) showing the frame, wheels, and mounting brackets. Then it moves to Controls — the operator’s console, dual traction and exciter controls, the 2-speed shift, and emergency stop. The Power Unit section covers the GM 4-53 diesel engine, from the air cleaner to the exhaust. Traction Drive gets its own deep dive: hydraulic system (page 26–27), Sundstrand pump and motor, then the Rockwell Standard transmission case and drive axle. Vibration and steering systems come next, plus the optional Roll Over Protection. You get 48 pages of part numbers, illustrations, and reference numbers for every nut and bolt.

Transmission Case: Why the Part Number Matters

Look at page 34 in this catalog — you’ll see the Rockwell Standard transmission case with its own part number. That piece alone can cost days if you order the wrong case. The catalog tells you exactly which version fits the SP1300 Dirt with serial numbers 13HX279 through the end. If you’re rebuilding the drivetrain, you need that number. Without it, you’re guessing. I’ve seen guys match a casting number from a different model and end up with a case that doesn’t take the same seal. Don’t be that guy. Use the catalog’s exploded view to cross-reference the transmission assembly before you pick up the phone.

Ordering Instructions: What the Manual Says on Page 2

Flip to page 2. That page has the ordering rules Rex II printed in 1973. It says: specify quantity, part number, and name of part. Do not order by reference number or state quantity in terms of sets or pairs. Then it hammers home: always give the serial number of the machine. That serial number is stamped on the manufacturer’s plate attached to the frame. If you skip it, you could get the wrong part for a later or earlier production run. The catalog also reminds you to include complete shipping and billing addresses, and specify parcel post, express, or freight. Follow that, and your parts show up correct the first time. Ignore it, and you’re eating the restocking fee.

Who Needs This Catalog? The SP1300 Owner and Mechanic

If you own a Terexlift SP1300 vibratory roller from the early 70s, this catalog belongs on your workbench. Same if you maintain a fleet of these machines for a construction company. Even home-garage guys restoring an old roller will find the part numbers for the amplitude unit, control box, or steering cylinder. This isn’t a repair manual — it’s a parts identification tool. You pair it with the service manual to order exactly what you need. No more digging through online forums hoping someone posted a scanned page. The data here came from the factory floor, cross-checked against the actual production line.

OEM Factory Source vs Aftermarket Cross-References

This is Bulletin 470 from Rex II (Terexlift), published August 1973. It covers effective serial number 13HX279 through the end of that production run. That’s a specific cut — not a generic parts list that tries to cover ten years of changes. Aftermarket catalogs often merge numbers from different years, which is how you end up with a pump part that doesn’t align with your motor. This catalog uses the exact OEM numbering system. For background on why factory documentation matters in the equipment industry, see the Automotive Industry Overview. The same principles apply to construction equipment as noted in that Automotive Industry Overview.

FAQ – Common Questions About This Parts Catalog

Does this catalog include torque specs?

No, it’s a parts catalog, not a service manual. You’ll need the repair manual for torque values.

Can I use this catalog for a different model year?

This catalog covers SP1300 Dirt models with serial numbers 13HX279 through the end of that run. Other years or models have different parts.

How do I order parts using this catalog?

You follow the instructions on page 2 of the catalog. That page tells you to always include the machine serial number, never order by reference number alone, and provide complete shipping and billing information. The part numbers listed in the catalog are the correct OEM numbers. You take those numbers to your Rex II distributor or Terexlift dealer. If you skip the serial number, you risk getting the wrong part. That’s a wasted week and a return headache, so don’t shortcut it.

Are the part numbers still current?

Some may be superseded. Contact Terexlift or a dealer with the number from this catalog to check current availability.

That’s the kind of real‑world data that keeps your SP1300 running without the back‑and‑forth. Save yourself the headache of mismatched parts — access the factory manual now.
