The genuine Western 44366 Ring secures the bottom section of the split plastic hydraulic pump cover together. Consequently, this heavy-duty rubber band seals the enclosure against severe winter elements. Fleet owners replace dry-rotted rings immediately to protect complex hydraulic pump components from corrosive salt spray. Furthermore, a tight fit stops water ingress completely.
Therefore, this genuine OEM part maintains the clean operating environment your hydraulic system requires. Additionally, it slips easily over the bottom molded groove of the cover halves without any specialized tools. Because winter road conditions accelerate wear on rubber fasteners, keeping several spares in stock ensures rapid field repair. Thus, you prevent costly electrical shorts or pump failures during critical winter weather events.
