The Multiquip 8158 is a genuine OEM Cotter Pin 3/16 x 1-1/2 designed for a range of Multiquip equipment including wheel kits, gasoline powered generators, welders, and towable light towers. As a direct OEM replacement, this cotter pin is manufactured to the original specification so it installs exactly as the factory-installed hardware did. Confirmed fitment includes WKTHD, WKT225A, GA2.5HR, GAC2.5HR, GAW180HE, GAW180HE1, GAW180HEA, and LT6KV (60HZ) models. Sourcing the correct OEM hardware like part 8158 ensures fastener integrity is maintained throughout the machine's service life.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Fastener Material — Manufactured to original specifications for the correct shear strength and dimensional tolerances required across all compatible Multiquip applications.
- Drop-In Installation — Sized at 3/16 x 1-1/2 to seat directly into the clevis or pin bore without modification, restoring the original retention method of the hardware joint.
- Broad Multiquip Compatibility — Fits WKTHD, WKT225A, GA2.5HR, GAC2.5HR, GAW180HE, GAW180HE1, GAW180HEA, and LT6KV (60HZ) equipment.
- Secure Pin Retention — A properly fitted cotter pin locks clevis pins and axle pins firmly in place, preventing movement that leads to loosening, wear, or loss of secured components during operation.
- Safety-Critical Fastener — Cotter pins serve as the final retention point on load-bearing and motion-control joints; using a correctly sized OEM pin is essential to maintaining the mechanical integrity of those connections.
A cotter pin is a small but essential fastener used to secure clevis pins, axle pins, and other hardware in place by passing through a drilled hole and bending its legs outward to prevent withdrawal. On equipment such as wheel kits, generators, and welders, cotter pins hold together pivot points, axle assemblies, and linkage connections that are subject to vibration and repeated load cycles. When a cotter pin fails, shears, or is missing entirely, the retained pin can work loose, leading to component separation, accelerated wear on surrounding hardware, or loss of control of a secured mechanism.
