Customer Reviews
rapid response!
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.

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.
They were great to deal with
Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Caterpillar Cap Screw Zinc 7X2565 and where is it used?
The 7X2565 is a zinc-coated cap screw designed to provide reliable fastening across Caterpillar equipment assemblies. Browse the full range of Caterpillar hardware parts including zinc-plated fasteners in our hardware section. The zinc plating adds a layer of corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for applications where the fastener may be exposed to moisture, coolant, or outdoor elements.
Why does the zinc coating matter on this cap screw?
Zinc coating acts as a sacrificial barrier between the fastener metal and corrosive agents such as water, salt, and chemicals. This helps prevent rust from forming on the threads and under the head, which can cause galling, seizing, or breakage during removal.
How do I verify the 7X2565 fits my Caterpillar machine?
Always match the part number against your equipment's service manual or parts breakdown for the specific assembly. Thread size, length, and head type must align with the original specification. If you need help confirming fitment, please reach out to Propel Parts.
When should I replace this cap screw?
Replace the 7X2565 cap screw if you observe:
- Surface corrosion that has penetrated into the threads
- Visible deformation or cracking of the screw body
- Thread damage that prevents proper torque from being achieved
- Loosening during normal operation suggesting the fastener has been over-cycled
What torque should I apply to the 7X2565?
Torque specifications depend on the thread diameter, grade, and the specific assembly involved. Refer to your Caterpillar service manual for the exact torque value.
Is this part a high-quality aftermarket replacement?
Yes ??? the 7X2565 is a premium aftermarket cap screw built to meet or exceed OEM specifications. For related assembly components, explore our heavy equipment engine parts category.
