The Wacker Neuson Shim Kit is a genuine OEM component designed for the CT36 and CT48 series walk-behind concrete power trowels. As an authorized OEM part, the is manufactured to the exact tolerances required by Wacker Neuson, ensuring precise clearance adjustment within the trowel assembly. This kit covers an extensive range of CT36 and CT48 models — including the CT36-5A, CT36-6, CT36-8A, CT36-9, CT36-400E, CT48-8A, CT48-9, CT48-11A, and CT48-13A-V variants — making it a versatile service item for concrete finishing fleets. When clearances shift due to wear, having the correct shim kit on hand means the machine is back in spec and back at work without guesswork.
Key Features
- OEM Tolerance Accuracy — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact gap specifications, so shim selection restores correct mechanical clearance rather than approximating it.
- Direct Drop-In Fitment — Each shim in the kit is sized and profiled to seat correctly within the CT-series trowel drive assembly with no reworking of mating surfaces.
- Broad CT36 and CT48 Coverage — A single kit spans multiple CT36 and CT48 configurations, including A-frame, V-style, and EU-spec variants, simplifying parts inventory for multi-machine operations.
- Restores Blade Pitch Consistency — Correct shim stack height keeps rotor blade pitch uniform across all arms, which directly affects finish quality and surface flatness on freshly poured slabs.
- Prevents Premature Drive Wear — Running with incorrect clearances accelerates wear on spider assemblies and gearbox components; correct shimming protects the surrounding drivetrain.
Shims are precision spacers used within a concrete trowel's rotor and drive assembly to set and maintain the correct mechanical clearance between moving components. On a walk-behind power trowel like the CT36 or CT48, proper shimming directly controls blade pitch geometry and rotor concentricity — both of which determine how evenly the finishing blades contact the slab surface. When shims wear thin or are lost during service, blade pitch becomes inconsistent, the rotor may run out of true, and the gearbox and spider components absorb forces they were not designed to handle. Replacing worn or missing shims with the correct OEM-spec 5000164360 Shim Kit restores the drive assembly to proper operating geometry and protects the trowel's broader drivetrain from accelerated wear.
