Caterpillar loader 970 cutting edge 7I3631/135-9533/100-4044

Our aftermarket full sets of Caterpillar 970 Wheel Loader Cutting Edge and End Bits replacement are bolt-on ground engaging tools (GET) designed for CAT 970 series wheel loaders, including 970F,970G,970H,970K,970L,970M,970GC and 970XE variants. The cutting edge is the central wear plate mounted on the front lip of the loader bucket, while end bits are corner protective pieces fitted on both ends of the cutting edge.

Purchasing Notes:

1. Confirm machine model and bucket version: The 970 family has multiple generations (F/G/H/K/L/M/GC/XE). Bucket lip length, thickness, hole quantity and spacing vary for different year buckets. Verify OEM part number first to avoid dimension mismatch.

2. Material selection: Double bevel reversible boron steel for sand, gravel and general earthwork. Thick through-hardened single bevel type for quarry, rock and heavy mining impact conditions.

3. Hardness inspection: Target HRC ＞50 after heat treatment. Low hardness leads to fast wear; excessive hardness causes chipping and cracking under impact.

4. Hole precision check: Verify hole diameter and center distance. Poor hole tolerance leads to difficult installation and uneven bolt load, resulting in broken bolts.

5. Thickness selection: Choose extra thick segments for heavy impact applications for better impact resistance.

6. Spare parts stocking suggestion: Cutting edges wear faster than end bits. Common stocking ratio is 1 set end bits with 2 sets cutting edges. Order matching bolts together.

7. Quality inspection & packing: Check flatness, surface crack and porosity before shipment.

8. Installation reminder: Tighten bolts to specified torque. Periodically retorque bolts to prevent loosening and tearing of the edge segment.
