Key Notes:

  • Part Number: 4K5968 (Caterpillar reference 4K-5968)
  • Position: Brake Wheel Cylinder
  • Function: Converts hydraulic pressure into mechanical force, pushing the brake shoes against the drum
  • Material: Rust-resistant bore, built for high hydraulic pressure and wide temperature swings
  • Weight: 3.8 lbs.
  • Condition: Aftermarket replacement part
  • Application: Replaces a brake wheel cylinder on the Caterpillar 950 wheel loader
  • Shipping Restrictions: Ships to the lower 48 US states only
  • Note: Cylinder only - seals, retainer washers, brake shoes, fluid and lines are not included. A loader has more than one wheel cylinder; count what you need before ordering, and replace them in pairs on an axle so braking stays even.

Common Use Case or Symptoms:

Replace this when the machine pulls to one side under braking, or a wheel cylinder is weeping fluid onto the backing plate - a leaking cylinder contaminates the shoes it sits against, so what starts as a wet spot ends up as a set of shoes as well.

Why Choose Broken Tractor?

  • ✅ Replace In Pairs: A fresh cylinder on one side and a tired one on the other is what makes a loader pull under the pedal, so the axle is the unit of repair here.
  • ✅ Rust Resistant Bore: Wheel cylinders sit low, wet and dirty, and bore corrosion is what seizes the pistons long before the seals give up.
  • ✅ Fluid Ruins Shoes: A weeping cylinder soaks the lining it faces, which is why catching this one early saves the friction material too.
