17M-50-00911 Equalizer Bar Komatsu (17M5000911)

The 17M-50-00911 Equalizer Bar Komatsu (also searched as 17M5000911) is a heavy-duty undercarriage suspension component designed to stabilize track-frame movement and help distribute loads evenly across the machine’s lower structure. In demanding dozer work—pushing, ripping, side-hilling, and operating over rock—this assembly supports controlled articulation, smoother travel, and reduced shock transfer into high-cost undercarriage areas.

3GEN Export supplies this part as an OEM-grade replacement solution with export-ready packaging and worldwide delivery in 5 working days, helping you reduce downtime and keep equipment moving.

What this equalizer bar does in the undercarriage

On large crawler dozers, the left and right track frames constantly experience different forces. One side may climb a ridge while the other drops into a rut; the blade may load one corner; the machine may pivot under resistance. The equalizer bar assembly is the stabilizing link that allows controlled movement without letting the chassis twist excessively.

By restoring correct articulation and alignment, the 17M5000911 / 17M-50-00911 assembly helps:

• Maintain consistent ground contact and traction

• Improve machine stability when traveling over uneven terrain

• Reduce peak impact loads into pivot points and frame mounts

• Support smoother grading and pushing control

• Protect rollers, track frames, and wear interfaces from abnormal stress

Why replacing a worn equalizer bar saves money

When this suspension link develops wear or clearance, the machine often feels “rough” long before a visible failure occurs. The hidden cost is accelerated wear elsewhere—because looseness and misalignment increase vibration, shock, and uneven load concentration.

Replacing the 17M-50-00911 Equalizer Bar Komatsu at the right time can help prevent:

• Rapid bushing/pin wear at the articulation zones

• Uneven roller or track-frame wear patterns

• Knocking/clunking during forward/reverse load changes

• Steering instability and harsh ride over rock

• Secondary damage to mounts and adjacent suspension components

Part number formats for search + ordering

Different buyers search in different formats, so your product page should include both:

• 17M-50-00911

• 17M5000911

Common listing styles also include: 17M 50 00911, 17M-50-00911 equalizer bar, and 17M5000911 equalizer bar. Using these formats improves match rates for procurement teams and parts systems.

Compatible Komatsu models

This part number is associated with Komatsu D275-series dozer applications in common catalog and supplier references. Because undercarriage arrangements can vary by serial range and configuration, compatibility should always be confirmed with the machine’s parts manual or serial number.

Commonly referenced model family:

• KOMATSU DOZER D275AX-5(confirm by serial number and arrangement)

If you share the machine model + serial range, 3GEN Export can help confirm the correct configuration before shipment.

Approximate weight (KG)

This is a heavy undercarriage assembly and normally ships crated. For planning purposes:

• Estimated net weight: ~273 kg

• Crated shipping weight: higher due to wooden packaging and protection

Final packed weight depends on crate build and protective materials; 3GEN Export provides the final shipping figures with export documents.

What you receive (based on the provided images)

Your photos show export-grade preparation, which is exactly what buyers want for a large suspension component:

• Protective wrapping to prevent surface damage

• Secure wooden crate suitable for forklifts and international freight

• Stable packing to protect machined interfaces and edges during transport

This matters because shipping damage on heavy undercarriage parts usually happens at the ends or at the bore interfaces—proper crating helps prevent that.

Manufacturing and quality expectations

An equalizer bar assembly is not a “simple steel bar.” It must maintain alignment and bore geometry under repeated shock loads. A high-quality OEM-grade replacement focuses on three priorities:

1) Geometry and fit

Correct bore alignment and spacing prevents:

• Binding during articulation

• Uneven wear at the contact surfaces

• Early clearance growth (play) after installation

2) Strength and fatigue resistance

This component operates under constant load reversals. Proper material selection and structural design help resist:

• Bending under heavy pushing

• Cracking at stress concentration zones

• Deformation after repeated impact cycles

3) Surface protection for storage and shipping

Coating and packing protect the part from corrosion and handling marks, especially for international shipments and jobsite storage.

Common signs of wear

Inspect the equalizer system if you notice:

• Clunking when changing direction or under sudden load

• Visible play at the articulation points

• Metal dust around joint areas

• Uneven undercarriage wear patterns that persist after adjustment

• Harsh vibration that increases over time

If wear is present, inspect related pins/bushings and mounting points at the same time. Replacing only one component while leaving worn interfaces often reduces the benefit of the new part.

Installation guidance

Always follow your official service manual for lifting points and torque values. The steps below are practical workflow guidance:

Preparation

• Park on level ground and secure the machine

• Use rated lifting equipment (this assembly is heavy)

• Clean the joint areas before disassembly to reduce contamination

Removal

• Support the assembly so there is no bind on hardware

• Remove retainers and fasteners in the correct sequence

• Extract carefully to avoid damaging mating surfaces

Inspection before fitting

Check:

• Pins/shafts for scoring or step wear

• Bore seating areas for ovaling

• Mounts/brackets for cracks or distortion

• Shims/retainers (if applicable) for correct seating

Installation

• Align bores without forcing the part into position

• Install hardware per manual specification

• Lubricate where required by the arrangement

• Confirm free movement through the intended articulation range

Post-install check

• Run at low speed first and listen for abnormal noise

• Re-check fasteners and lubrication after initial operating hours (as your manual recommends)

Maintenance tips to extend service life

• Keep articulation zones clean (abrasive buildup accelerates wear)

• Maintain lubrication intervals appropriate to your environment

• Inspect after high-impact events (rock strikes, heavy side loading)

• Address small clearance early before bore wear becomes severe
