Excellent Customer service
-
I own old cat bulldozers D8k,D8H,D8N that required frequent repairs and servicing. it was erratic and practically cumbersome to keep them running without constant supply of reliable
and affordable spares in Uganda a third world country however,since I started dealing with propel parts US,my bulldozers have earned reliability and efficiency in providing high quality services to clients and making me a great dependable construction company in earth moving.
My shipments are always handled expeditiously and delivered in record time to Uganda this is awesome from Propelparts.
My business is booming by the clock for finding the best partner in Propelparts. -
BEST for Heavy Equipment Parts.
Awesome quality products! Better customer service! Steven is always a pleasure to work with and very prompt in assisting me - thank you! -
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. -
Great service!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 7D8879 washer used for?
The 7D8879 is a washer that distributes load under a bolt or nut, guarding the mating surface and supporting consistent clamp force.
How do I install the 7D8879 washer?
Fitting the 7D8879 correctly comes down to clean surfaces and following the manual’s sequence. Work through these steps:
- Power down the machine and isolate the assembly before service
- Clean the seating surface and check it for damage or burrs
- Place the 7D8879 in the correct orientation under the fastener
- Torque the fastener to specification so the washer seats evenly
Which Caterpillar machines is the 7D8879 compatible with?
Compatibility for the 7D8879 washer varies by machine and configuration, so cross-check it for your Caterpillar equipment before ordering. If you are still unsure, reach out to Propel Parts, our team will be happy to help you verify if this part fits your equipment.
Does the 7D8879 washer meet performance standards?
Yes. The 7D8879 is engineered to meet OEM specifications for material, dimensions, and durability. When replacing, choose genuine or high-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications so the part performs the way it was designed to.
How often should the 7D8879 be replaced?
The 7D8879 is typically renewed during scheduled service or a related repair. In demanding, high-hour operation, inspect it more often to stay ahead of wear. This part is commonly replaced alongside the 5A3187 Bolt Track, so it is worth checking both while the assembly is open.
What are the signs of a worn or failing 7D8879 washer?
When the 7D8879 reaches the end of its service life, the symptoms tend to show up first as performance or wear issues. Look for:
- A joint that won’t hold torque
- Cupping, cracking, or flattening of the washer
- Marking or embedding into the mating surface
- Corrosion that weakens the contact area
Why is the 7D8879 washer important, and what related part is commonly replaced with it?
Replacing the 7D8879 when needed keeps the system within its designed clearances and loads, which extends the life of the surrounding parts and supports dependable performance. The 1D4639 Cap Screw High He is commonly serviced together with this part, so it is worth replacing both while access is available.
This 7D8879 General Shim is compatible with the following models:
120H, 120H ES, 120H NA, 120K, 120K 2, 120M, 120M 2, 12G, 12H, 12H ES, 12H NA, 12K, 12M, 12M 2, 12M 3, 12M 3 AWD, 130G, 135H, 135H NA, 140G, 140H, 140H ES, 140H NA, 140K, 140K 2, 140M, 140M 2, 140M 3 & more...
