A worn or damaged bushing in a walk behind power trowel leads to excessive play, vibration, and accelerated wear on surrounding components, replacing it promptly with a correct-spec OEM part keeps the machine running true and extends the life of the drivetrain assembly. This is the genuine Bartell Global OEM bushing (Part No. 11012), designed as a direct-fit replacement for the B436, B446, B446 MEGA-T, BC436, and BC446 walk behind trowel models.
These machines operate at blade RPMs of 132 to 180 depending on model and configuration, and carry working weights ranging from 185 lbs (75 kg) up to 260 lbs (118 kg) for the B446 MEGA-T. At those operating loads and speeds, bushings are critical wear components, they maintain alignment, reduce metal-on-metal contact, and absorb the mechanical stresses transmitted through the trowel's rotating assembly. Using a non-OEM substitute risks improper fitment, premature failure, and potential damage to the housing or spindle it interfaces with.
Compatible models include:
- B436
- B446
- B446 MEGA-T
- BC436
- BC446
This part is recommended for inspection during any scheduled maintenance service and should be replaced immediately if play, noise, or irregular blade behavior is detected. Genuine Bartell Global OEM part, sold by an authorized dealer.
