Overview
The ZF 0730.110.085 WASHER is a precision-engineered OEM genuine component designed to maintain critical axial clearances within heavy-duty construction machinery transmissions. This hardened steel washer sits between rotating gear assemblies and the transmission housing, acting as a load-bearing surface that prevents metal-on-metal contact. As part of the differential assembly, the 0730.110.085 ensures consistent torque distribution and reduces friction during high-load operations. When paired with the 5838109009: DIFFERENTIAL, this washer stabilizes the gear stack and extends the service life of surrounding components.
Symptoms of Failure
- Transmission oil seepage around the differential housing: A worn 0730.110.085 washer allows excessive axial play, breaking the seal between the 5838300626: DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING and the output shaft, leading to visible fluid leaks.
- Gear slipping under load in construction equipment: When the washer thickness degrades, the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING loses preload, causing intermittent gear disengagement during excavation or grading operations.
- Metallic grinding noise from the transmission sump: A collapsed washer permits the 2093209023: DIFFERENTIAL gears to contact the housing, producing a distinct high-pitched grinding sound at low speeds.
- Increased backlash in the drivetrain: Operators may notice a delayed response when shifting between forward and reverse, indicating the washer can no longer maintain proper gear spacing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I reuse the 0730.110.085 washer during a transmission rebuild?
A: No. This washer is a single-use component. Its case-hardened surface work-hardens during initial installation, and reusing it will lead to premature failure of the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING due to incorrect preload.
Q: How do I know if the 0730.110.085 fits my ZF WG200 transmission?
A: Measure the inner diameter of your existing washer. If it is exactly 73 mm and the outer diameter is 85 mm, this part is compatible. Always cross-reference with your transmission’s parts manual for the suffix code.
Q: What tools are needed to replace this washer?
A: You will need a bearing puller, a torque wrench, and a micrometer to verify the new washer thickness. The 5838300626: DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING must be removed to access the washer seat.
