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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 3J6572 shim and how is it used?
The 3J6572 is a precision shim used to fine-tune clearances, pre-loads, and alignments in Caterpillar equipment assemblies. For the full range of heavy equipment hardware parts including shims and adjustment tools, visit our hardware category.
How do I know which shim thickness I need?
Shim selection is determined by measuring the actual clearance or pre-load gap in the assembly with precision measuring tools and then calculating the required shim thickness from the service manual specification.
Which machines use the 3J6572 shim?
Shim compatibility depends on the assembly location, OD, ID, and thickness. For related engine components, see our Caterpillar engine components category. Verify the part number and assembly location using your Caterpillar service documentation.
Can shims be reused after removal?
Shims that show no signs of scoring, cracking, or deformation can generally be reused if they still meet the thickness specification when measured with a micrometer. Shims from high-wear areas should be measured carefully before reuse.
Is this a quality aftermarket shim?
Yes ??? the 3J6572 is a premium aftermarket shim produced to meet or exceed OEM specifications for dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and hardness.
What are the consequences of incorrect shim selection?
Using a shim that is too thick creates excessive pre-load, leading to rapid bearing or bushing wear. Using one that is too thin results in excessive clearance, causing noise, vibration, and accelerated wear.
