Multiquip 10968 Thrust Bearing Kit

The Multiquip 10968 Thrust Bearing Kit is a genuine OEM component designed for a wide range of Multiquip and Whiteman ride-on and walk-behind power trowels, including the HTNS5S-2, JTNS20, JTNSW20, JTNSW20HTCSL, JTNSW24HTCSL, LD6, LD6SL, LD60, B46, BS46H11, BS46H90, JS36H55, JS36H90, J36-M30, HDA-SERIES, and additional models in the JTO and J Series families. As a genuine OEM part, the Multiquip 10968 is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component, ensuring a direct fit without guesswork or modification. Sourced directly through authorized channels and sold by DHS Equipment, this kit is the correct service replacement when thrust bearing wear or damage is identified during inspection or maintenance. Confirm your model against the fitment list to ensure this kit matches your machine before ordering.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Tolerancing — Manufactured to original specification, ensuring the bearing surfaces and axial load ratings match what the trowel gearbox was engineered to handle.
• Direct-Fit Replacement — Designed to seat and install exactly as the original, fitting into the gearbox assembly without rework or custom adaptation.
• Broad Trowel Compatibility — Fits a wide range of Multiquip and Whiteman ride-on and walk-behind power trowel models, including the JTNS20, LD60, B46, JS36H55, HDA-SERIES, and J36-M30 families.
• Restores Blade Pitch Control Precision — A worn thrust bearing allows unwanted axial play in the gearbox, causing inconsistent blade pitch and uneven finishing results; replacing it restores tight, responsive control.
• Critical Drivetrain Protection — Unchecked thrust bearing wear accelerates damage to surrounding gearbox components; replacing this kit at the correct service interval protects the broader drivetrain investment.

The thrust bearing kit manages axial loads within the power trowel's gearbox assembly — the forces that act along the shaft's axis as the rotor spins and the operator adjusts blade pitch. These bearings allow the rotating assembly to turn freely while keeping it correctly positioned under load. When thrust bearings wear, the result is noticeable slop in the controls, vibration, and accelerating wear on adjacent gearbox components. Replacing the thrust bearing kit at the first sign of play or roughness is one of the most effective ways to extend the working life of the trowel's gearbox and maintain the smooth, consistent blade action that quality concrete finishing demands.
