The Multiquip 20673 Rubber Hood Latch is a genuine OEM component designed for PRX, HTX44K4, HTX44K5, STX55J6, and STX55Y6 ride-on power trowels. As a direct OEM replacement, part 20673 is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a proper fit and secure hold without any modification. Whether you are servicing a PRX hybrid unit or an HTX or STX hydrostatic trowel, this latch restores the hood closure to its original operating condition. DHS Equipment stocks this part to help keep your ride-on trowel fleet running without interruption.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to the same material and compression specifications as the original rubber latch, ensuring consistent hold and durability under field conditions.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Installs into the existing hood latch position on compatible ride-on trowels with no hardware modification required at the mounting point.
- Broad Ride-On Trowel Fitment — Compatible with PRX, HTX44K4, HTX44K5, STX55J6, and STX55Y6 models, covering both hybrid and hydrostatic series machines.
- Secure Hood Retention — A properly functioning rubber latch keeps the engine hood firmly closed during operation, preventing vibration-induced movement that can cause the hood to shift or open unexpectedly.
- Operator Safety Compliance — A secure hood closure is an important safeguard on ride-on trowels; replacing a worn or broken latch helps maintain a safe working environment around rotating components and engine heat.
The rubber hood latch secures the engine access hood on ride-on power trowels, keeping it firmly closed during machine operation. On equipment like the HTX and STX series, the hood covers the engine and hydraulic components, and a failed or deteriorated latch can allow the hood to vibrate open, exposing operators and bystanders to hot surfaces and moving parts. Rubber latches are subject to UV exposure, heat cycling, and mechanical wear over time, and a cracked or stretched latch should be replaced promptly to maintain proper hood retention and safe machine operation.
