Placed an order twice and immediately resolved!
Misty reched out immediately because I accidentally placed an order twice. Fantastic service. -
Excellent Customer service
-
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!

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 Caterpillar Washer 8T4896?
The 8T4896 is a high-grade hardened washer used in Caterpillar equipment assemblies to distribute fastener loads, protect mating surfaces, and maintain proper bolt clamp force under heavy vibration and load.
What equipment or applications use the 8T4896 washer?
This washer is used across a variety of Caterpillar equipment assemblies. Verify the specific application using your parts manual or contact Propel Parts — our team will be happy to help you verify if this part fits your equipment.
Why is a hardened washer important in heavy equipment?
Hardened washers are essential in heavy equipment because standard washers can compress, deform, or embed into fastener surfaces under the extreme loads of machine operation. Hardened washers maintain consistent clamping force and prevent bolt loosening over time.
When should the 8T4896 washer be replaced?
Replace when:
- The washer is bent, cupped, or deformed
- Surface pitting or corrosion is visible
- It is cracked or fractured
- During any repair that requires removal of the associated bolt assembly
Always replace washers in critical fastener joints during major service.

Yes. Propel Parts offers the 8T4896 as a premium aftermarket washer manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for hardness, dimensional tolerance, and load-bearing capacity.
