Part # 63573 – HEXFLANGECAPSCREW 3/4-10X4

HEXFLANGECAPSCREW 3/4-10X4

Western Part # 63573 is a Hex Flange Head Cap Screw, measuring 3/4 inch in diameter, with 10 threads per inch (UNC – Unified National Coarse), and a length of 4 inches. This specialized fastener is designed for robust and secure connections in various high-stress applications on Western Snow Plows.

The “Hex Flange Head” characteristic means the bolt has a hexagonal head integrated with a wide, circular flange directly beneath it. This flange acts as a built-in washer, distributing the clamping force over a larger area than a standard hex head bolt. This design reduces the need for a separate washer, helps prevent loosening due to vibration, and provides improved bearing surface contact, which is crucial in dynamic and high-load environments. The 3/4-10 UNC threading is a heavy-duty coarse thread pitch, known for its strength and resistance to stripping. The 4-inch length provides ample thread engagement for thick components.

In Western Snow Plow applications, a hex flange head cap screw like Part # 63573 is used in critical structural connections where high clamping force, load distribution, and resistance to loosening are paramount. These applications include:

• Securing major frame components: Where robust, non-loosening connections are essential for the plow’s structural integrity.
• Attaching critical pivot points: Providing strong, stable joints that can withstand significant shear and tensile forces.
• Mounting heavy-duty sub-assemblies: Ensuring secure attachment even under extreme operating conditions.

This bolt is constructed from high-strength material, capable of withstanding the severe stresses, vibrations, and corrosive conditions encountered during snow plowing. Using this genuine Western fastener ensures a precise fit, optimal clamping force, and long-term reliability for your plow’s most demanding connections. Always refer to your specific Western Plow model’s documentation and assembly diagrams to confirm that Part # 63573 is the correct bolt for your application and to follow the recommended torque specifications for proper installation.
