Our CSR for Dymax Inc., Deb, has been extremely helpful and consistently provides quick, accurate information regarding parts and inventory. When we encounter difficulties finalizing transactions through the internal website, she is able to promptly generate quotes and provide an external, secure method for payment. Her responsiveness and willingness to assist play a key role in supporting our team’s success.

I put 2 of the same orders in due to a web page error and shortly after I was contacted by Deb from customer service asking if I meant to place both orders. She was very helpful, the email was very well written and it genuinely made me feel better about the whole experience. She resolved the issue quickly and with there not being much of customer service these days I was very happy so see that is not the case everywhere!!!

Very thorough ! Confirmed order and great communications.

A Delay Handled the Right Way
Honestly, if I were in Miami like my shipment was, I wouldn?t have been in a hurry to ship out either. I was frustrated at first ? delays cost me time on the job ? but Propel Parts stepped up.
Deb, Daniel and the team owned the mistake, kept the communication clear, and graciously refunded my shipping costs without making it a hassle. That kind of accountability is rare these days, and I genuinely appreciated how they handled it.
Things don?t always go perfectly, but these folks proved they?re more interested in doing right by their customers than just pushing parts out the door. Solid company, solid people.

P.S. Incredible quality on the pin as well. I had to do some custom modifying, and let?s just say the case hardening was ? well ? hard. Great Stuff! Thank you. -
Good Customer Service. Fast Shipping. A+++
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 4T2723 washer used for?
The 4T2723 washer spreads a fastener’s clamping load over a wider area, protecting the surface and helping the joint hold torque. It also resists loosening from vibration.
How do I install the 4T2723 washer?
Fitting the 4T2723 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 4T2723 in the correct orientation under the fastener
- Torque the fastener to specification so the washer seats evenly
Which Caterpillar machines is the 4T2723 compatible with?
The 4T2723 is matched to particular Caterpillar equipment, so always verify the application against your parts reference before purchasing. Check your manual or reach out to Propel Parts for help verifying fitment.
Does the 4T2723 washer meet performance standards?
Yes. Propel Parts supplies the 4T2723 as a premium aftermarket part made to meet OEM specifications. When replacing, choose genuine or high-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications so you can fit it with confidence.
How often should the 4T2723 be replaced?
Replace the 4T2723 whenever the assembly it serves is overhauled, or any time it shows wear, damage, or corrosion. Following the intervals in your service manual is the best guide. This part is commonly replaced alongside the 1189573 Bolt, so it is worth checking both while the assembly is open.
What are the signs of a worn or failing 4T2723 washer?
When the 4T2723 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 4T2723 washer important, and what related part is commonly replaced with it?
Replacing the 4T2723 when needed keeps the system within its designed clearances and loads, which extends the life of the surrounding parts and supports dependable performance. The 1085603 Screw is commonly serviced together with this part, so it is worth replacing both while access is available.
This 4T2723 General Shim is compatible with the following models:
30/30, 35, 416, 416B, 416C, 416D, 420D, 424D, 426, 426B, 426C, 428, 428B, 428C, 428D, 430D, 432D, 436, 436B, 436C, 438B, 438C, 438D, 442D, 446, 446B, 446D, 45, 508, 515, 517, 525, 525B, 525C, 527, 535 & more...
