Overview
The ZF 0730.365.801 TYPE PLATE is a critical identification and sealing component mounted on the exterior of the transmission housing in heavy-duty construction machinery. This OEM genuine part serves as the primary data plate, providing essential transmission model numbers, serial codes, and hydraulic specifications for service technicians. The SKU 0730.365.801 is riveted directly to the main casing and must remain legible for proper maintenance and parts ordering. When replacing this plate, it is common to also inspect the adjacent 4695101002: HOUSING for corrosion or impact damage that could compromise the plate’s mounting surface.
Symptoms of Failure
- Illegible transmission identification numbers – When the type plate becomes scratched, faded, or corroded, service teams cannot verify the exact ZF model, leading to incorrect replacement parts being ordered.
- Oil seepage around the plate perimeter – A loose or missing type plate allows transmission fluid to escape past the mounting holes, often mistaken for a housing crack.
- Rattling or loose plate during operation – Broken rivets cause the plate to vibrate against the 4695301021: HOUSING, creating metallic noise and risking complete detachment.
- Misalignment of adjacent components – A deformed plate can interfere with the fitment of the 4695301022: COVER, causing uneven gaps and potential contamination ingress.

Compatibility
This type plate is engineered for ZF WG-series powershift transmissions commonly found in wheel loaders, graders, and excavators. It is directly compatible with ZF WG180, WG200, WG210, and WG310 models. The plate also fits select ZF 4WG-200 and 6WG-310 variants used in construction machinery from 1998 onward. Always verify the plate’s orientation against the 0634801038: SEALING RING groove on the housing to ensure proper sealing when reinstalling.
