HED Parts Desk sourcing
Caterpillar 966 Wheel Loader Torque Converter Sourcing
A 966 with a slipping or failed torque converter loses drive power fast. HED Parts Desk helps confirm the exact converter your loader's series and powertrain need, then gets your request in front of suppliers.
Can HED help source this?
HED sources torque converters for Caterpillar powertrains through our supplier network, helping verify fitment against your machine's exact configuration and manage sourcing terms. This is a brokered sourcing service, not HED-held stock.
New, reman, rebuilt, or exchange?
Depending on supplier availability, options may include new, remanufactured, or rebuilt torque converters. We'll confirm what's realistically sourceable for your specific stall-speed and housing configuration.
Why does the serial or PIN matter?
The 966 has been built across many series (966F through 966XE) with different engine and powertrain pairings, which changes torque converter stall speed and housing configuration. Your loader's PIN lets a supplier confirm the exact converter it needs.
Why does the exact part number matter?
If you have the torque converter's part number from the housing tag or a parts lookup, it lets suppliers quote against the exact unit instead of a broader compatible range, reducing fitment risk.
How does core exchange work?
Rebuilt torque converters are commonly sold core-exchange. Core eligibility and value depend on the converter's condition, particularly stator and impeller wear; we'll confirm this with available supplier options.
What affects price?
Pricing depends on condition tier, stall-speed/configuration match, current supplier availability, and whether a core exchange applies to your old unit.
What affects freight?
Torque converters are moderately heavy and typically ship via standard freight or large parcel carriers depending on size; we'll confirm delivery method and cost as part of your quote.
What about warranty?
Warranty coverage depends on the supplier and condition tier. We'll surface the applicable terms with your quote so you know exactly what's covered before committing.
What to submit for a useful quote
The more of this you can share up front, the faster we can put a fitment-accurate sourcing request in front of suppliers.
