Key Notes:

• Part Number: 9R0315 (Caterpillar reference 9R-0315)
• Position: Front Wheel
• Likely Drive Type: Two wheel drive front - see the note below before ordering
• Material: Carbon, structural and alloy steel
• Weight: 39.0 lbs.
• Condition: Aftermarket replacement part
• Application: Replaces the front wheel on Caterpillar 416 through 438C backhoe loaders
• Shipping Restrictions: Ships to the lower 48 US states only
• Note: MEASURE YOUR RIM DIAMETER BEFORE ORDERING. Caterpillar publishes no dimensions for this wheel, and its machine list does not distinguish two wheel drive from four - Caterpillar lists the same machines against wheels of both types. At 39 lbs this is in the weight class of a 16 in two wheel drive front rim rather than the 18 in four wheel drive rim, which runs 50 lbs and up. A 16 in rim means two wheel drive; an 18 in rim means four wheel drive and takes a different part. Wheel only; tire, valve, studs and nuts are not included.

Common Use Case or Symptoms:

Order this when a front rim has cracked at the disc, rusted through at the bead seat or been bent by a curb - a backhoe front wheel spends its life being steered under loader weight, and a rim that will not hold a bead is not worth chasing with sealant.

Why Choose Broken Tractor?

• ✅ Fifteen Backhoe Models: The original 416 and 426 through the 438C, covering the earliest machines up to the D Series.
• ✅ Drive Type Stated Honestly: Caterpillar does not publish enough to prove 2WD or 4WD on this number, so the listing gives the weight evidence and tells you what to measure.
• ✅ Not Yet Retired By Cat: Unlike several wheels in this range, Caterpillar has not retired 9R-0315.
