Great place for Cat parts!
Had some shipping difficulties, but everything was made right. Parts were perfect and an excellent price. Thanks!
Have been buying parts from them for years, and they have always delivered, both with parts and customer service.
Having issue running my credit card, Steven was more than helpful to send me a payment link to complete my transaction!
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.
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.
Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the 4G4972 O‑ring seal?
The 4G4972 O‑ring seal is a circular sealing component used to create a tight, leak‑resistant barrier between mating surfaces in hydraulic, fuel, or fluid systems. It helps prevent fluid or gas from escaping while keeping contaminants out of critical areas.
How do I install the 4G4972 O‑ring seal?
Here’s a general guide for proper installation:
- Turn off the machine and relieve any system pressure before beginning work.
- Remove the old O‑ring and thoroughly clean the groove or sealing surface to remove debris and residue.
- Lightly coat the new 4G4972 O‑ring with a compatible lubricant to help ease installation.
- Place the O‑ring into the groove, ensuring it sits evenly without twists.
- Reassemble the mating parts, making sure the O‑ring remains in place and properly sealed.
Which machines or systems use the 4G4972 O‑ring seal?
The 4G4972 O‑ring seal is used in a variety of hydraulic, fuel, and fluid systems on heavy equipment where this specific part number is required.
