The Wacker Neuson Side Cover Shim.009 Green is a genuine OEM shim designed for the CRT36 and CRT48 series ride-on concrete power trowels. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this shim delivers the exact thickness tolerance —.009 inches, color-coded green — required to maintain correct side cover clearance during service. 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 variants. Referencing part number when ordering ensures you receive the correctly graded shim for your application.
Key Features
- Exact Thickness Grade — Color-coded green and ground to a .009-inch specification, this shim provides the precise clearance needed at the side cover interface — critical for correct rotor alignment and smooth trowel operation.
- Genuine OEM Part — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original design, ensuring the shim seats and stacks correctly with mating components without the risk of dimensional variation that can compromise fit.
- Broad CRT Series Compatibility — Fits CRT36 (24A, 25, 26A) and CRT48 (31V, 33K, 34V, 35L, 35V, 37V, 57K) series ride-on trowels, including Power Steer, Electronic Steering, Dual-Fuel, and High Speed variants.
- Maintains Rotor Assembly Integrity — Proper shimming at the side cover prevents excessive play in the rotor stack, keeping the finishing blades tracking true across the slab surface for consistent concrete finishing results.
- Service-Ready Shim — Sized for direct drop-in during side cover removal and reassembly; the color-coded grading system allows technicians to quickly confirm the correct shim selection during gearbox or rotor service.
A side cover shim is a precision-ground spacer used to set and maintain the correct axial clearance between the side cover and the rotor assembly inside a ride-on concrete trowel's gearbox. Getting this clearance right is essential — too much play allows the rotor to shift during operation, causing uneven blade pressure and inconsistent finishing across the slab. Too little clearance creates binding and accelerated wear on internal components. When the existing shim wears, distorts, or is lost during service, replacing it with the correctly graded shim — identified here by the .009-inch thickness and green color code — restores the assembly to its designed operating tolerance and protects the surrounding gearbox components.
