Multiquip 10496 Worm Counter Shaft Left Hand Junior/Brierton with Bearings

The Multiquip 10496 Worm Counter Shaft Left Hand Junior/Brierton with Bearings is a genuine OEM component designed for JTO-SERIES Whiteman ride-on power trowels. This is a direct OEM replacement sourced from Multiquip, ensuring the shaft geometry, thread specification, and pre-installed bearing configuration match the original assembly exactly. Correct fitment is confirmed for JTO-SERIES machines, making this a straightforward swap during scheduled maintenance or drivetrain repair. DHS Equipment stocks this part as an authorized Multiquip OEM replacement so you can get your trowel back in service fast.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Worm Shaft Specification — Manufactured to Multiquip's original shaft geometry and thread form, ensuring the worm drive engagement is correct and consistent with the factory drivetrain design.
• Bearings Pre-Installed — Supplied as a complete left-hand counter shaft assembly with bearings already fitted, simplifying installation and eliminating the need to source bearings separately.
• Left-Hand Side Fitment — Designed specifically as the left-hand counter shaft; pairing the correct handed shaft to the correct side of the trowel gearbox is critical for proper blade-pitch drive operation.
• Confirmed Fit for JTO-SERIES — Verified OEM replacement for Whiteman JTO-SERIES ride-on power trowels; always cross-reference part number 10496 against your machine's serial plate before ordering.
• Drivetrain Integrity — A worn or damaged worm counter shaft causes inconsistent blade pitch response and accelerated gear wear throughout the trowel head assembly, making timely replacement essential to smooth finishing performance.

The worm counter shaft is a core drivetrain component inside the trowel head gearbox, transferring rotational input through the worm gear set to control the pitch angle of the finishing blades. On ride-on trowels, precise blade pitch adjustment is what allows the operator to dial in finishing pressure across the full span of the machine. When the counter shaft or its bearings wear, the worm drive develops slop, causing blade pitch to become erratic or unresponsive — resulting in uneven concrete finishing and potential damage to the gearbox housing. Replacing the left-hand counter shaft with a genuine OEM unit restores the tight tolerances the worm gear set depends on for accurate, repeatable blade control.
