Product Questions
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.

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.
