CAT 196-0346 Hard Washer – Genuine Caterpillar 1.9 mm Thick Spacer | Replaced by 8T-4896 | 15-Year OEM Parts Supplier

We have been supplying genuine Caterpillar spare parts for more than 15 years, and the CAT 196-0346 Hard Washer is a commonly requested small but critical component used in various CAT mechanical assemblies.

This washer has a 1.9 mm thickness and is designed to provide stability, load distribution, and vibration resistance in heavy-duty engine and machinery applications. The original 196-0346 washer has been officially superseded by CAT part number 8T-4896, which is the latest genuine replacement part recommended by Caterpillar.

All items we supply are 100% original CAT, factory-sealed, and sourced directly from official Caterpillar channels. We do not deal with aftermarket, recycled, or substitution parts — even with small hardware like washers and shims, we only offer original components to ensure full compatibility and long-term reliability.

Many customers overlook washers as minor parts, but in high-load systems like Caterpillar engines, even a small deviation can affect alignment, torque settings, or component lifespan. That’s why we only provide original CAT washers to our clients.
