The Multiquip 12038 Steering Cylinder Bellows is a genuine OEM replacement designed for HTX44 series hydrostatic ride-on power trowels. As a direct OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component installed at the factory, ensuring a proper installation with no guesswork on fitment. This part is confirmed for the HTX44K4, HTX44K5, HTX44Y4, and HTX44Y5 models — verify your machine's model code before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Material Durability — Manufactured to original equipment specifications, this bellows uses material rated to flex and seal under the continuous movement demands of a hydraulic steering cylinder.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to mount directly to the steering cylinder on HTX44 series trowels, matching original attachment points for a straightforward swap.
- HTX44 Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment for HTX44K4, HTX44K5, HTX44Y4, and HTX44Y5 hydrostatic ride-on power trowels.
- Steering System Protection — Shields the steering cylinder rod and seals from concrete dust, debris, and moisture — contaminants that accelerate seal wear and lead to hydraulic steering failures.
- Genuine Multiquip OEM Part — Sourced directly through the Multiquip OEM supply chain, so you can be confident this is the correct part for the application.
The steering cylinder bellows is a flexible protective boot that surrounds the rod of the hydraulic steering cylinder on ride-on power trowels. Its job is to keep abrasive particles, concrete slurry, and moisture away from the cylinder rod and internal seals. When the bellows cracks, tears, or collapses, contaminants reach the cylinder seals directly, causing accelerated wear, hydraulic fluid leaks, and eventual loss of steering control — which can make the trowel difficult or unsafe to operate. Replacing a worn bellows promptly protects the steering cylinder from costly internal damage.
