Overview
The ZF 0730.365.274 TYPE PLATE is a critical identification and sealing component mounted directly on the transmission housing of heavy-duty construction machinery. This OEM genuine part serves as the primary reference point for transmission model verification, oil type specifications, and serial number tracking. The SKU 0730.365.274 ensures precise alignment with factory specifications, preventing misidentification during maintenance or rebuilds. Positioned on the exterior of the main gearbox casing, this type plate works in conjunction with the 4699101139: HOUSING to provide a sealed, tamper-resistant interface that protects internal transmission data from environmental degradation.
Symptoms of Failure
- Illegible transmission identification data: When the type plate corrodes or delaminates, critical model numbers and oil specifications become unreadable, leading to incorrect fluid selection and potential gear slippage.
- Oil seepage around the housing cover interface: A warped or damaged type plate compromises the seal between the 0501329881: HOUSING COVER and the main housing, causing slow oil leaks that attract debris and accelerate wear.
- Loose or missing fastening points: Vibration from heavy loads can cause the type plate rivets to fatigue, resulting in a rattling noise and eventual detachment, which exposes the transmission to moisture ingress.
- Misdiagnosis during transmission rebuilds: A missing or swapped type plate forces technicians to guess at gear ratios and clutch pack specifications, often leading to premature failure of the 0630513065: SNAP RING and other internal components.

Compatibility
This type plate is engineered for ZF WG-series powershift transmissions commonly used in construction machinery such as wheel loaders, telehandlers, and graders. It is a direct fit for the following ZF transmission models: WG180, WG200, WG210, and WF250. The plate also applies to select variants of the 4WG-200 and 5WG-210 series. Always verify the existing type plate dimensions against the 0730.365.274 specification before installation, as some early WG180 models used a different mounting pattern.
