The Multiquip 21262 is a genuine OEM Rod End 5/16-24 X.312 Male Left Hand designed for HTX44 and STX55 series hydrostatic ride-on power trowels. This is a direct OEM replacement sourced from Multiquip, ensuring the correct thread specification, hand orientation, and shank diameter for a proper installation. Confirmed fitment includes HTX44K4, HTX44K5, HTX44Y4, HTX44Y5, HTX6H, STX55J6, STX55Y6, and STX6H models. Verify your model number before ordering to ensure this is the correct rod end for your machine configuration.
Key Features
- Correct Thread Specification: — Manufactured to the exact 5/16-24 thread pitch and .312 shank diameter required by these trowel models — no guesswork on sizing.
- Left-Hand Thread Orientation: — The left-hand thread designation is critical for proper installation; using the wrong orientation will prevent correct engagement and can damage the linkage.
- Genuine OEM Part: — Sourced directly from Multiquip, this rod end meets the same standards as the original component installed at the factory on HTX and STX series trowels.
- Broad HTX and STX Series Fitment: — Compatible with HTX44K4, HTX44K5, HTX44Y4, HTX44Y5, HTX6H, STX55J6, STX55Y6, and STX6H hydrostatic ride-on trowels.
- Blade Pitch Control Integrity: — A worn or damaged rod end introduces slop into the pitch control linkage, causing uneven blade angle across the trowel head and inconsistent finishing results on the slab.
A rod end is a pivoting connector used in the blade pitch control linkage of a ride-on trowel. It allows the control arms to transmit operator input into precise blade angle adjustments across the trowel head. When a rod end wears out or develops play in the joint, the pitch control becomes imprecise, leading to inconsistent blade pressure, uneven finishing passes, and increased operator fatigue from fighting the controls. Replacing a failed rod end restores direct, responsive blade control and protects the surrounding linkage components from accelerated wear.
