:) great service
Steven & Propel Parts were a huge help! We were able to place a large order and get it shipped out same day to avoid a line down situation for a customer due to a lost component. The order was even submitted after the 3pm cutoff for same day shipments and we got it the next morning!

Great service affordable parts
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.
Very knowledgeable and quick to quote parts.
Very quick to respond to parts quotes. Knowledgeable and Polite, and very quick shipping. Definitely will purchase parts from these guys in the future.

Which machines or systems use the 3053431 piston clutch?
The 3053431 piston clutch is used in specific heavy equipment transmissions where gear engagement is controlled hydraulically or mechanically.
