Overview
The ZF 0730.365.280 TYPE PLATE is a critical identification and sealing component within heavy-duty construction machinery transmissions. This OEM genuine part serves as the primary data plate, providing essential model and serial number information while also functioning as a sealing gasket for the transmission housing. Positioned on the exterior of the gearbox casing, the type plate ensures that maintenance crews and rebuild specialists can quickly verify the exact ZF transmission configuration during service intervals. The SKU 0730.365.280 is precision-engineered to withstand extreme vibration, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to hydraulic fluids commonly found in excavators, wheel loaders, and graders.
Symptoms of Failure
- Transmission oil seepage around the housing plate: When the 0730.365.280 type plate gasket deteriorates, operators often notice thin oil films or drips forming on the exterior of the transmission case, particularly after extended operation in high-heat environments.
- Illegible or faded identification markings: A worn type plate can become corroded or abraded, making it impossible to read the transmission model and serial number—a critical issue for ordering replacement parts like the 5838109007 DIFFERENTIAL or 0750117075 TAPER ROLLER BEARING.
- Vibration-induced plate loosening: A failing type plate may rattle or become partially detached, causing metallic noise and allowing contaminants to enter the transmission housing through the mounting holes.
- Incorrect gear engagement after rebuild: A missing or damaged type plate can lead to misidentification of the transmission variant, resulting in improper reassembly with components like the 2095209019 DIFFERENTIAL or incorrect installation of the 0631329086 SPRING PIN.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I install the 0730.365.280 type plate without removing the transmission from the vehicle?
A: Yes, in most applications the type plate is externally accessible on the transmission housing. However, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of old gasket material to prevent oil leaks after installation.
Q: Is the type plate reusable if I only need to replace the gasket?
A: The 0730.365.280 is designed as a single-piece assembly with an integrated gasket. Reusing the plate without replacing the gasket layer risks oil seepage and plate loosening. Always install a new OEM unit.
Q: How do I confirm this type plate fits my ZF WG200 transmission?
A: Compare the bolt hole pattern and dimensions against your existing plate. The 0730.365.280 uses a 120 mm x 80 mm footprint with four M6 bolt holes. Cross-reference your transmission serial number with ZF documentation for absolute certainty.
