The Multiquip 42179-001 Actuator is a genuine OEM component designed for HTX, STX, MD, and LD series hydrostatic ride-on power trowels, including the HTXG6DF, STXDF, LD6, LD6SL, HTX6H, STX6H, MD80, MD105, and LD60. As a direct Multiquip OEM part, the 42179-001 is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original, ensuring a correct installation without guesswork. DHS Equipment sources this actuator directly through authorized Multiquip channels, so you can order with confidence knowing you are getting the right part for your machine.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's original engineering specifications, ensuring the actuator delivers the correct stroke, force, and response characteristics required by hydrostatic trowel control systems.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to bolt into the same mounting position and connect to the same linkage points as the original, making replacement straightforward for qualified technicians.
- Broad Hydrostatic Trowel Coverage — Confirmed fitment across the HTXG6DF, STXDF, LD6, LD6SL, HTX6H, STX6H, MD80, MD105, and LD60 hydrostatic ride-on power trowel models.
- Blade Pitch Control Integrity — A correctly functioning actuator maintains precise blade pitch adjustment, allowing the operator to dial in finishing pressure and achieve consistent concrete surface results.
- Critical Control System Component — Because the actuator directly governs blade angle response, replacing a worn or failed unit restores the operator's ability to control the trowel safely and accurately.
The actuator on a hydrostatic ride-on power trowel is the mechanical component responsible for converting hydraulic or electronic control inputs into physical blade pitch movement. When the operator adjusts blade angle, the actuator responds by repositioning the pitch control linkage on the rotor assembly. A worn, seized, or failed actuator causes sluggish or unresponsive blade control, which directly affects finish quality and the operator's ability to manage the machine across the slab.
