ZF 0730.365.159 TYPE PLATE | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 0730.365.159 TYPE PLATE is a critical identification and sealing component within the transmission assembly. This OEM genuine part serves as the primary data plate for the transmission housing, providing essential model and serial number information while also functioning as a sealing interface. Located on the exterior of the main gearbox casing, the 0730.365.159 ensures that the transmission’s identity remains legible and protected from environmental contaminants. This part is manufactured to ZF’s exacting specifications, guaranteeing a precise fit and long service life in demanding construction machinery applications.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 0730.365.159 TYPE PLATE begins to degrade, operators may notice several distinct warning signs. Oil seepage around the transmission identification plate is a common early indicator, as the gasket surface loses its sealing integrity. Corrosion or illegibility of transmission model information can occur when the plate becomes compromised, making future service identification difficult. Vibration-induced loosening of the plate mounting may produce a rattling sound during operation, particularly at lower RPMs. Contamination ingress at the plate interface can lead to accelerated wear of internal components, as debris enters through the compromised seal.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This TYPE PLATE is specifically engineered for ZF WG series transmissions commonly found in construction machinery. It is a direct fit for the WG180, WG200, and WG250 transmission models. The 0730.365.159 also applies to certain WG310 variants used in heavy earthmoving equipment. For proper installation, this plate mounts directly onto the 4143101009: HOUSING and is secured using the 0636101068: CAP SCREW fasteners. A 0634313603: O-RING is required between the plate and the 4143301025: HOUSING to maintain a proper seal. The assembly is completed with a 4475280018: SCREW PLUG for the fill port.
