A high-quality 1131149 front drive shaft (propshaft). This is a complete shaft (including U-joints) designed for CAT C and D series backhoe loaders equipped with a manual transmission. The shaft has a compressed overall length of 790 mm and is responsible for transferring drive from the gearbox to the front axle.

| Caterpillar (CAT) | Manual | 416C, 416D, 420D, 424D, 426C, 428C, 428D, 430D, 432D, 436C, 438C, 438D, 442D |
The list above is for reference. It is crucial to verify the transmission type (manual) and old shaft length (approx. 790 mm compressed).
When replacing the drive shaft, we recommend checking the condition of the flanges (yokes) on the axle and transmission, and replacing the mounting bolts and U-joint straps.
A damaged front drive shaft (e.g., a broken U-joint) can detach while driving. A spinning, loose shaft can destroy hydraulic lines, the engine oil sump, or other undercarriage components, creating a huge danger and generating costly repairs.
The 1131149 drive shaft connects the front drive output from the transmission to the front drive axle. Its job is to transfer power to the front wheels, which is essential for full 4x4 traction in difficult terrain.

Probably not. PowerShift transmissions are often different lengths than manual ones, requiring a different length shaft. This shaft (790mm) is dedicated to manual transmissions.
Drive shaft length is typically measured in the fully compressed (shortest) state, from the center of one U-joint to the center of the other U-joint (working length).
