The genuine Western 44341 Ram Assembly delivers dual-acting hydraulic angling power to your multi-position v-plow blade. This heavy-duty cylinder features a 1-3/4 inch internal bore alongside an 11-inch stroke range. Consequently, it forces your moldboard wings to angle right or left with power and responsiveness. Replacing a leaking or pitted ram directly restores precise movement within your central pump manifold.
This original equipment manufacturer assembly incorporates modern SAE O-ring style ports to ensure a leak-free hose connection. Furthermore, the high-strength cylinder barrel features precise 1-inch diameter pin holes to maintain structural frame alignment. This durable low-friction configuration is designed explicitly for Western MVP Plus and MVP 3 commercial v-plows. Therefore, your team can complete a quick shop replacement and get the blade back on the road rapidly.
