Propel parts team helped me greatly regarding a special request and I always get prompt response.
They’re fantastic!
Very helpful. Every question or request I had was answered quickly. I didn't have a parts book for my excavator but that was no problem for them. If you need parts for your Cat, give them a shot.
I’ve been ordering parts from propel for about 3 years & counting. I live in Hawaii where we have a hard time getting parts especially for decent prices with fast shipping. I've been 100% satisfied with the company and the customer service and will continue to use them. I recommend propel to everyone here in Hawaii and we are all happy to have you guys. Thank you!!!
Propel parts is a good Cat vendor that provides a top notch service to customers from ordering to delivery. Their after sales service is really impressive.
Very prompt services !

Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 8T4201 bolt used for?
The 8T4201 is a fastening bolt that secures parts on Caterpillar equipment, providing the clamp load that keeps a joint tight in service.
How do I install the 8T4201 bolt?
To install the 8T4201 properly, prepare the area first and confirm the result afterward. Use these steps:
- Shut the machine down and isolate power before service
- Clean the threads and mating faces so debris doesn't affect clamp load
- Inspect the threaded bore and the 8T4201 for damage
- Start the bolt by hand to avoid cross-threading
- Torque it to the value and sequence listed in your service manual
- Re-check torque after the first operating cycle if the manual advises
Which Caterpillar machines is the 8T4201 compatible with?
Fitment for the 8T4201 depends on your specific Caterpillar model and the assembly it serves, so confirm the application before you order. Check your manual or reach out to Propel Parts for help verifying fitment.
Does the 8T4201 bolt meet performance standards?
Yes. The 8T4201 is manufactured to meet OEM specifications for tolerance and material quality. When replacing, choose genuine or high-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications for dependable, long-term performance.
How often should the 8T4201 be replaced?
Plan to replace the 8T4201 during a rebuild of the surrounding components, or sooner if inspection shows it is past its serviceable limit.
What are the signs of a worn or failing 8T4201 bolt?
A worn 8T4201 usually gives early warning through the assembly it supports. Watch for these signs:
- Loss of torque or a slowly loosening joint
- Stripped, galled, or corroded threads
- Visible stretching or a necked-down shank
- Movement, fretting, or leaks at the joint
Why is the 8T4201 important, and what related parts work with it?
A sound 8T4201 is inexpensive insurance against larger repairs. Servicing it on time with parts that meet OEM specifications keeps the whole assembly working as intended. Related hardware on our site includes 1R6484 Nut and 5D6644 Shim.
