The Multiquip 45438-SK RH Steering Valve Assembly with Switch is a genuine OEM component designed for MD80, MD105, and LD60 series hydrostatic ride-on power trowels. As a direct factory replacement, this assembly maintains the precise hydraulic control characteristics your machine was built around, ensuring the right-hand steering circuit performs exactly as engineered. Multiquip sources this part to the same specifications as the original, so you can install it with confidence on compatible MD and LD series units. If your trowel is pulling, failing to steer responsively, or showing signs of hydraulic drift on the right side, 45438-SK is the part to reach for.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Precision — Built to the exact valve tolerances required for consistent hydraulic pressure and smooth right-hand steering response on hydrostatic trowel platforms.
- Integrated Switch Assembly — Combines the steering valve and switch into a single ready-to-install unit, eliminating the need to source and match components separately.
- Direct Fitment for MD and LD Series — Confirmed for MD80, MD105, and LD60 hydrostatic ride-on trowels; verify your model code before ordering.
- Maintains Full Steering Authority — A functioning RH steering valve keeps the operator in precise control of the machine's direction; a worn or leaking valve can cause unpredictable tracking and uneven finishing passes.
- Hydraulic System Integrity — Correct valve seating and switch operation are critical in a hydrostatic steering circuit — using a properly rated OEM assembly prevents pressure bleed-off and protects downstream hydraulic components.
The RH steering valve assembly controls hydraulic fluid flow to the right-hand drive circuit on hydrostatic ride-on trowels, translating operator input into directional movement. The integrated switch signals the machine's control system to engage or modify steering response, keeping the operator in command of the trowel's path across the slab. When this valve assembly wears, sticks, or develops internal leaks, the machine may drift right, lose steering sensitivity, or become difficult to control — all of which compromise both finish quality and operator safety.
