The Multiquip 2842300103 is a genuine OEM Connecting Rod Bolt designed for MTR40F, MTR40SF, MVC-40G, and MT55F series equipment. As a factory-authorized component, this bolt is manufactured to the exact specifications required for proper engine assembly and long-term integrity. It is a direct-fit replacement that installs exactly as the original, making it the correct choice for scheduled maintenance or engine rebuild work on compatible Multiquip rammers and plate compactors.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Tensile Specification — manufactured to the precise torque and tensile rating required for connecting rod fastening, ensuring the rod-to-crankshaft joint holds under high-cycle engine loads.
- Direct-Fit Engine Replacement — matches the thread pitch, shank diameter, and head geometry of the original bolt for drop-in installation during engine service or rebuild.
- Broad Multiquip Compatibility — confirmed fitment for MTR40F, MTR40SF, MT55F rammers and MVC-40G plate compactor, covering both trench rammer and single-directional compactor applications.
- Engine Integrity Under Load — a correctly torqued connecting rod bolt maintains crankshaft alignment and prevents rod bearing failure, keeping reciprocating engine assemblies running smoothly through demanding compaction cycles.
- Critical Fastener Safety — connecting rod bolts are load-bearing fasteners subject to high-frequency stress; using the correct OEM specification bolt reduces the risk of fatigue failure and engine damage.
The connecting rod bolt is a critical engine fastener that clamps the connecting rod cap to the rod body around the crankshaft journal. It must maintain precise clamping force through thousands of high-speed reciprocating cycles — any loss of torque or thread integrity can cause rod cap movement, bearing damage, or catastrophic engine failure. Replacing this bolt with the correct OEM specification part during engine rebuilds or rod servicing is essential to restoring safe, reliable engine operation.
