The Multiquip 10971 Shoulder Bolt 5/16x1.1/2 is a genuine OEM fastener designed for B Series China international walk-behind power trowels. As a direct Multiquip OEM part, it is manufactured to the exact dimensional tolerances required for proper function and fit in the trowel assembly. DHS Equipment sources this bolt directly through authorized Multiquip channels, so you can be confident you are receiving the correct hardware for your machine. Verify your model against the fitment data before ordering to ensure an accurate match.
Key Features
- Exact Shoulder Dimensions — Machined to the precise shoulder diameter and length (5/16 x 1-1/2) required by the trowel assembly, ensuring correct load bearing and positional alignment during operation.
- Genuine OEM Hardware — Sourced directly from Multiquip, this bolt meets the original material grade and thread specification used in production, not a generic substitute.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Installs in place of the original bolt without rework or modification to mounting points, keeping your trowel back in service quickly.
- B Series China Trowel Compatibility — Confirmed fitment for B Series China international walk-behind power trowels; cross-reference part number 10971 against your parts manual before ordering.
- Structural Integrity — A correctly specified shoulder bolt maintains pivot point alignment within the trowel mechanism; an undersized or incorrect fastener can introduce play that degrades blade pitch control and surface finish quality.
A shoulder bolt differs from a standard hex bolt in that it features a precisely machined unthreaded shank — the shoulder — that acts as a bearing surface, pivot point, or spacer within an assembly. In a walk-behind power trowel, shoulder bolts are commonly used at pivot and linkage points where controlled rotational or sliding movement must occur with minimal slop. When a shoulder bolt wears down, becomes damaged, or is replaced with an incorrect fastener, the resulting looseness in the joint can cause inconsistent blade pitch, increased vibration, and uneven concrete finishing. Using the correct OEM-specified bolt, such as Multiquip 10971, restores the mechanical relationship the trowel was designed around.
