Terex Roller Vibrating Through the Frame? Find the Right Rubbers

A Terex or old Benford roller that buzzes through the handle, shakes its frame or has an engine rocking about usually has a tired rubber part somewhere. The fix starts with the OE number on the old part.

PartsForMachines lists 80 rubber spare parts for Terex machines from AV Industrial Products, covering 16 OE numbers: engine mounts, a drive pin and a roller mount.

Old Benford or Terex Roller: How Do I Find the Right Mount by Model or OE Number?

Go by the OE number on the old part or in the parts book; the model name only narrows the search. Terex agreed to buy Benford's parent company in 1999, so an older roller may be badged Benford rather than Terex.

One model can have several engine-mount numbers listed against it: six for the TV800 alone, which may differ by position or build. One number can also cover a whole family: the TRX-172326 engine mount (OE 1723-26) fits nine TV models. Search our site for the number on your old mount.

Roller Vibration Coming Through the Frame and Handle: Are the Drum Mounts Worn?

Often, yes. On a vibratory roller the drum is mounted to the frame on rubber, which keeps most of its vibration away from the machine and the operator. As that rubber hardens, cracks or tears, more vibration gets through to the frame, handle and engine.

Check each mount for cracks or rubber parting from its metal. The 1702-214 roller mount with drive pin is bonded rubber to metal, taking up movement so the machine runs quieter. Inspect the drive pins at the same time.

Roller Dropped, Damaged or Stood for a Year: Which Rubbers Should I Check Before Running It?

Check every rubber part that carries load: the drum mounts, drive pins and engine mounts. Look for splits, cracks, squashed or distorted rubber, and rubber that has come away from its plate. Rubber on a roller left standing ages too, because heat, oxygen and ozone leave it hard and cracked.

The engine mounts need the same check, since they carry the engine's weight and keep its vibration out of the frame. On a TV1200, for example, the 1595-1196 engine mount is listed for that model only. Rubbers are only one check, though: the drive and vibration systems need their own inspection.

Engine Hopping on Its Mounts: Do I Replace One Engine Mount or All of Them?

Replace the failed mount with one of the same OE number, and it often makes sense to renew the set. When one mount has gone, the others are often not far behind. Mounts share the load, so one failed or mismatched mount can overload the rest and shorten their life.

A soft or separated mount can let the engine shift and rock, which shows up as knocking and extra vibration. A sound mount cushions the engine against the chassis and eases the load on its fixings. On the 1-71 and MBR71, the TRX-170136 engine mount (OE 1701-36) is the listed part.

What Should I Check Before I Order?

• the OE number stamped on the old part or shown in the parts book
• the machine model from the serial plate, such as TV800 or TV1200
• which position failed: engine mount, roller mount or drive pin
• how many mounts share that number, and the state of the others
• photos and measurements of the old part if its number is unreadable

Browse the rubber spare parts range, or contact the PartsForMachines team by WhatsApp, telephone or email with the number or a photo of the old part, and we will help you match it.

Frequently Asked Questions

The same OE number appears under several models: which listing do I order?

Any listing with your OE number is the same part. The 1723-26 mount, for example, appears under nine TV models as well as on one multi-model listing. Any of them will do, once the number matches your old part.

The number on my old mount has worn off: what now?

Take the model from the serial plate or parts book, then send our team clear photos and measurements of the old mount, its fixings and where it sits on the machine. We can help narrow it down to the right OE number.

My machine says Benford, not Terex: will these parts fit?

They can, because Terex agreed to buy Benford's parent company in 1999. Fit depends on the part number rather than the badge, so match the OE number on your old part, or send it to our team before you order.

Do you have engine mounts for a dumper?

Several engine mounts are listed by OE number only, with no model named, such as 2030-1171 and 1750-1010. If the number on your dumper's mount is the same, that listing should be the right part; otherwise send us the number before ordering.

What does a drive pin do on a roller?

The 1701-90 drive pin is a bonded rubber-and-metal part that absorbs vibration and small movements in service. Its rubber ages like any other mount, so check it for cracks whenever the roller mounts are out.

Is the TV1200 mount 1595-1196 different from the others?

It is listed for the TV1200 only, whereas numbers such as 1723-26 and 903-121 cover nine TV models. Several numbers are listed for the TV1200, so match each position by the number on its old mount.

Do the replacement mounts need modification to fit?

Several are described as direct fits. The 1583-1200 and 1750-1010, for example, fit where the original sat with no modification needed. Match the OE number on the old part first, and ask us if it differs.

Can worn rubbers damage other parts of the roller?

They can. A failed mount can overload its neighbours and shorten their life, and hardened rubber lets more vibration into the frame and engine. Replace cracked or deformed rubbers before they fail completely.

Are these original Terex parts?

No. They are replacement parts from AV Industrial Products, each matched to an original OE number. Check the number on your old part against the listing before you order, and contact our team if they differ.
