The Multiquip 48357 Spider Assembly 6-Blade LH Long is a genuine OEM component designed for the MD80 mid-sized hydrostatic ride-on power trowel. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this assembly carries the same specifications as the original part installed at the factory, ensuring a straight-forward, hardware-compatible installation. If your MD80 is showing uneven blade pitch, wobble, or blade-seating issues on the left-hand rotor, this is the correct replacement assembly to restore proper operation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's exact engineering tolerances for the blade spider hub, ensuring correct blade engagement geometry on the LH rotor.
- Left-Hand Long Configuration — Specifically engineered as the LH long variant; confirms correct rotational orientation and arm-length spec for the MD80 dual-rotor layout.
- 6-Blade Capacity — Designed to seat all six finishing blades evenly across the rotor arc, maintaining consistent surface contact for uniform concrete finishing.
- Verified MD80 Fitment — Confirmed OEM replacement for the MD80 mid-sized hydrostatic ride-on trowel series; check your model plate before ordering to confirm left-hand application.
- Restores Blade Pitch Accuracy — A worn or damaged spider assembly causes blade flutter and inconsistent pitch adjustment; replacing with the correct assembly brings blade control back to spec.
- Critical Finishing Performance — Properly functioning spider geometry is essential for achieving a flat, burnished concrete surface — particularly on larger pours where the MD80 is in continuous operation.
The spider assembly is the central hub component that holds and positions the finishing blades on a ride-on trowel rotor. It connects the blade arms to the pitch-adjustment mechanism, allowing the operator to change blade angle during finishing passes. When the spider assembly is worn, cracked, or out of tolerance, blades will sit unevenly, pitch adjustment becomes inconsistent, and surface finish quality drops noticeably. On a dual-rotor machine like the MD80, using the correct left-hand versus right-hand assembly is essential — the two sides are not interchangeable.
