3244237 Piston for Caterpillar Equipment

Part 3244237 is a piston for Caterpillar equipment. It belongs to the oversized piston category and is identified for use in Caterpillar engine assemblies.

This is a new aftermarket spare part manufactured by CTP (Costex Tractor Parts).

The available product data identifies Caterpillar as the equipment manufacturer whose part reference is associated with this piston. A specific Caterpillar machine model, engine model, or machine series is not provided in the source data, so fitment is limited to the Caterpillar equipment application stated above. Compatibility should be checked against the installed piston number and the engine service documentation before installation.

The piston is supplied under the primary number 3244237. The same identification appears in several number formats used for parts searches and cross-referencing. These numbers describe the same listed piston reference and should be compared with the number marked in the existing engine assembly.

Cross-reference numbers

• 3244237
• 324-4237
• CA3244237

The number 3244237 is listed as the Caterpillar equipment manufacturer reference for this piston. The formats 324-4237 and CA3244237 are also provided as cross-reference numbers for identifying the same part in parts catalogues and supplier systems. Cross-reference numbers do not provide additional information about a particular engine or machine model where that fitment data is not listed.

Before ordering or installing the part, the reference number should be matched with the engine documentation, the removed component, and the required piston size. The product category specifies that this is an oversized piston, while the available data does not state the oversize dimension, bore size, compression height, pin diameter, ring groove dimensions, or piston pin inclusion.

Specifications

The listed dimensions are length 12 cm, width 12 cm, and depth 12 cm. No separate dimensional drawing or tolerance data is included with the available product information. The stated weight is approximately 0.91 kg, equivalent to 2 pounds.

The available specification does not state the piston material, coating, piston pin specification, connecting-rod arrangement, number of piston rings, ring set inclusion, or installation position. These parameters must be confirmed from the applicable Caterpillar engine documentation or the component identification data.
