Overview
The ZF 0730.365.308 TYPE PLATE is a critical identification and specification component mounted directly to the transmission housing of heavy-duty construction machinery. This OEM genuine part serves as the permanent reference tag for the transmission’s model, serial number, and operational parameters. The SKU 0730.365.308 is engineered to withstand extreme vibration, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to hydraulic fluids, ensuring that maintenance crews and rebuild technicians can always verify the exact configuration of the unit. It is typically located on the exterior of the main casing, adjacent to the 4108101174: HOUSING and the 4108201298: HOUSING, providing immediate access for inspection without disassembly.
Symptoms of Failure
- Illegible or missing transmission identification data: When the TYPE PLATE corrodes, peels, or detaches, technicians cannot confirm the correct rebuild kit or replacement parts, leading to costly ordering errors.
- Oil contamination around the plate mounting area: A warped or cracked plate can allow seepage past the gasket, mixing with debris and causing false low-oil readings on the 0501225852: OIL LEVEL GAGE.
- Rattling or loose plate during operation: Broken rivets or stripped fasteners cause the plate to vibrate, which can abrade the underlying 0501325471: SEALING RING and accelerate fluid loss.
- Incorrect gear engagement after service: Without a legible plate, mechanics may install the wrong valve body or clutch pack, resulting in slipping or harsh shifts in the transmission.

Compatibility
This TYPE PLATE is designed for ZF heavy-duty transmissions commonly found in construction machinery, including the WG180, WG200, and WG210 series. It is also used in select off-highway models such as the 4WG-200 and 5WG-180. The plate’s mounting pattern matches the boss on the main housing, ensuring a direct fit when replacing the original tag. Always verify the existing plate’s hole spacing against your transmission’s housing to confirm compatibility.
