The Wacker Neuson Side Cover Shim.007 White is a genuine OEM component designed for the CRT36 and CRT48 series ride-on concrete power trowels. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this shim delivers the exact thickness tolerance required for proper side cover alignment and gearbox clearance on compatible machines. It fits an extensive range of CRT models including the CRT36-24A, CRT36-25, CRT36-26A, CRT48-31V, CRT48-33K, CRT48-34V, CRT48-35L, CRT48-35V, CRT48-37V, CRT48-57K, and their respective variants — covering standard, high-speed, power steer, dual-fuel, and EU configurations. As a genuine Wacker Neuson part, the is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring proper fit without guesswork during reassembly.
Key Features
- Exact Thickness Specification — Manufactured at .007 inch to maintain the precise clearance between the side cover and gearbox housing that the CRT trowel drivetrain demands.
- Genuine OEM Construction — Produced by Wacker Neuson to original material and dimensional standards, so the shim seats and compresses exactly as intended during torqued assembly.
- Broad CRT Series Coverage — Compatible with a wide range of 36-inch and 48-inch ride-on concrete trowel models, including standard, high-speed, power steer, dual-fuel, and electronic steering variants.
- Drivetrain Alignment Integrity — Correct shim selection prevents side cover play and misalignment that can lead to accelerated gear wear or oil leaks at the gearbox interface.
- Direct Replacement Installation — Drops into the same position as the original shim; no machining or modification of the housing is needed to achieve proper seating.
A side cover shim is a precision-thickness spacer placed between the gearbox side cover and the housing to set the correct axial clearance within the trowel's rotor drive assembly. By controlling this gap, the shim prevents excessive end-play in the gear stack that would otherwise cause noise, vibration, and premature wear on the internal gear faces and bearings. When a shim is worn, compressed beyond its service thickness, or installed at the wrong specification, side cover leaks and drivetrain looseness typically follow — making shim selection and replacement a critical step in any CRT gearbox service.
