    Great pricing and fast shipping!
    I'll admit that I was skeptical of propel parts, but they are an honest site and came through with the order. I was skeptical because I've never ordered heavy machinery parts, and didn't know who to trust. The parts that I ordered showed in stock, but after checking with their vendor, they only had half of the order in stock. I was notified the day after the order, and most of the parts arrived in a few days. There was one part that was not shipped putz but I was able to talk with who I assumed is the owner who rectified the situation and had the part overnighted to me.

    I will say that communication speed could use a little work, but they will eventually get back with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product

What is the function of the 5D9553 cutting edge?

The 5D9553 cutting edge is a ground‑engaging tool fitted to the front blade of Caterpillar dozers (such as D4H and D4L GP). It provides a wear‑resistant edge for grading, pushing, and leveling soil or materials, protecting the blade and improving performance and durability.

How do I install the 5D9553 cutting edge?

Here’s a general guide for proper installation:

  1. Park the machine on level ground, shut off the engine, and secure it.
  2. Support the blade so it does not shift during installation.
  3. Align the 5D9553 cutting edge with the blade’s mounting holes.
  4. Insert the specified bolts and nuts (or fasteners) through the edge and blade holes.
  5. Tighten all hardware to the torque values specified in your service manual.
  6. Check that the cutting edge sits flush and securely before returning the machine to service.

Which machines or blades use the 5D9553 cutting edge?

The 5D9553 cutting edge is designed for Caterpillar D4H and D4L GP dozers and similar machines that use this part number for the blade edge. It’s a direct‑fit ground engaging tool that replaces worn edges to maintain cutting performance. If you are unsure don’t hesitate to reach out to Propel Parts for help verifying fitment.

Does the 5D9553 cutting edge meet performance expectations?

Yes, the 5D9553 cutting edge is engineered to meet or exceed OEM strength and wear‑resistance standards. When installed correctly, it helps improve cutting efficiency, blade life, and overall dozing performance in earthmoving and grading applications.

How often should a cutting edge like the 5D9553 be inspected or replaced?

Inspect the cutting edge regularly as part of routine undercarriage and blade maintenance. Check for significant wear, thinning, cracks, or chips. Replace the cutting edge if it shows excessive wear or damage to ensure continued efficient cutting and to protect the blade from further deterioration.

What are common signs that the 5D9553 cutting edge needs replacement?

Typical indicators include:

  1. Noticeable material loss on the edge
  2. Chipping, cracking, or deformation of the edge
  3. Increased effort required to push material
  4. Uneven blade performance or irregular surface finish

Why is using a quality cutting edge important for equipment performance?

A quality cutting edge like the 5D9553 helps ensure efficient material penetration, improved blade life, and better overall dozing performance. Using parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications increases reliability, reduces maintenance costs, and contributes to longer machine uptime and productivity.
