Fabulous customer service!
We accidentally ordered twice the same item and Misty caught it and contacted us immediately to clarify. Fabulous service!!! Highly recommend! -
Everything fine, thank you. The only thing with which I had a problem in your Software, is that when I have more than 10 different items on the list, I can't scroll to the first ones. But besides that, I am very happy in going on with buying your parts.

I almost want to cry ;( writing this review because I dont want people to find out about them and rather keep them in my pocket but they deserve it…
This company is great with Quality Products at amazing prices! Sometimes, their website is not the most accurate but is user friendly and if you got questions they will call back and are very prompt in responding via a call or text to verify inventory before placing an order.
I really appreciate and look forward to continuing to work with you all especially Anthony — he is amazing & the best!!!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 6L8562 stud used for?
The 6L8562 is a stud used on Caterpillar equipment, where it performs its role within the assembly to support reliable operation. Keeping it in good condition helps the surrounding parts work as intended.
How do I install the 6L8562 stud?
Fitting the 6L8562 correctly comes down to clean surfaces and following the manual’s sequence. Work through these steps:
- Shut the machine down and isolate power before working on the assembly
- Clean the mating surfaces and inspect them for wear or damage
- Remove the old part and check the area for debris
- Fit the new 6L8562 in the correct orientation per your service manual
- Reassemble to specification and confirm correct operation before returning to service
Which Caterpillar machines is the 6L8562 compatible with?
The 6L8562 is matched to particular Caterpillar equipment, so always verify the application against your parts reference before purchasing. If you are unsure don’t hesitate to reach out to Propel Parts for help verifying fitment.
Does the 6L8562 stud meet performance standards?
Yes. Propel Parts supplies the 6L8562 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 6L8562 be replaced?
Replace the 6L8562 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 1982914 Nut Hexago, so it is worth checking both while the assembly is open.
What are the signs of a worn or failing 6L8562 stud?
When the 6L8562 reaches the end of its service life, the symptoms tend to show up first as performance or wear issues. Look for:
- Visible wear, cracking, or corrosion on inspection
- Reduced performance or reliability in the assembly
- Unusual noise, movement, or leaks near the part
- Premature wear on the components around it
Why is the 6L8562 stud important, and what related part is commonly replaced with it?
Replacing the 6L8562 when needed keeps the system within its designed clearances and loads, which extends the life of the surrounding parts and supports dependable performance. The 1984768 Washer Hard is commonly serviced together with this part, so it is worth replacing both while access is available.
This 6L8562 Stud-Taper Lock is compatible with the following models:
1673C, 1693, 16G, 215, 235B, 3204, 3208, 3304, 3304B, 3306, 3306B, 3406, 3406B, 3406C, 3406E, 3408, 3408B, 3408C, 3408E, 3412, 3412C, 3412D, 3412E, 3508, 3508C, 3512, 3512B, 3516, 572R, 578, 621B & more...
