7V0904 Loader Bucket Base Edge for Caterpillar 966C – Aftermarket Replacement

Full Description

Part number 7V0904 identifies a long, one-piece loader bucket base edge referenced to Caterpillar 7V-0904. Industry application charts associate this base edge with selected 966C wheel-loader general-purpose bucket arrangements. The base edge forms part of the bucket’s front lip structure and provides the mounting interface for replaceable wear edges. It should not be described as a grader blade or dozer cutting edge.

For the referenced 966C general-purpose arrangement, established G.E.T. application charts list two 1U2406 bolt-on center edges and two 3G6395 bolt-on end edges in connection with the 7V0904 base edge. The same charts show no separate bolt-on segments for this configuration. These related part numbers describe the bucket edge system and are not equivalent numbers for 7V0904. Center edges, end edges, fasteners, adapters, teeth and other hardware are not assumed to be included unless they are expressly listed in the quotation.

Published dimensional information is not fully consistent. Several manufacturing catalogs describe an SBF base edge approximately 2.85 m long, while reported width, thickness and hole count vary between sources. Other application catalogs list a nominal bucket width of 112-1/2 inches and a different hole quantity. Because these differences may represent distinct drawings, production variants or catalog errors, no online dimension set should be treated as universally confirmed. The approved drawing and the customer’s existing edge must take priority before production or shipment.

The uploaded photograph shows several long yellow-painted plates stacked together, secured with dark straps and wrapped in clear protective film. Multiple machined holes are visible in offset rows along the upper plate. The side marking appears to read 7V0904-M. A blue YASSIAN logo and a large translucent YASSIAN watermark are also visible. The photograph does not establish the exact hole count, dimensions, material grade, hardness, heat treatment or unit weight.

This aftermarket replacement is intended for bucket repair, rebuilding and wear-edge system maintenance on a compatible loader bucket. It may be relevant to distributors, importers, repair workshops, contractors and mine or quarry maintenance teams sourcing replacement bucket components. Compatibility must be checked against the complete machine serial number and bucket arrangement rather than the loader model alone, because different 966C buckets may use different base edges, hole patterns and bolt-on wear components.

For compatibility checking, provide the required part number, machine model, complete serial number, bucket type, bucket width and arrangement number. Clear photographs of the existing base edge, bucket front lip and mounting pattern are also important. Required measurements include overall length, width, thickness, hole quantity, hole diameter, center-to-center spacing, end offsets and bevel orientation. Material, hardness, heat treatment, dimensional tolerances, surface finish, inspection documents, packing method and delivery schedule should be confirmed in the quotation or approved production drawing.

Reference Part Numbers

• Primary reference: 7V0904

• Alternate formatting: 7V-0904

• Confirmed equivalent or superseding number: None confirmed

• Related bolt-on center edge: 1U2406, normally two pieces in the referenced arrangement

• Related bolt-on end edge: 3G6395, normally two pieces in the referenced arrangement

• Related tooth-family reference: J300

• 6W2990 is not listed as a confirmed equivalent because published application charts show a different hole and segment configuration.

Applications
