Western 63985 – 8.5′ Pro Plus Steel Cutting Edge Kit (Includes Bolt Kit)

The genuine Western 63985 Cutting Edge Kit serves as the essential high-wear scraping component for your 8.5-foot Western Pro Plus commercial straight-blade snowplow. Manufactured from premium, high-carbon steel, this 1/2-inch thick edge handles the intense abrasion of scraping concrete, asphalt, and hard-packed ice down to the pavement surface. Consequently, replacing a worn, thinned, or unevenly worn cutting edge restores the aggressive scraping geometry needed to clear clean passes, reducing fuel usage and minimizing the need for repeat passes.

This factory-original kit is engineered to match the exact structural contours and 10 slotted mounting holes of your 8’6″ Pro Plus moldboard. The pre-punched slotted design ensures perfect bolt-hole synchronization with your existing base angle, allowing shop technicians to perform a quick, flawless edge change-out without field drilling. Furthermore, this comprehensive package arrives complete with ten heavy-duty 5/8-11 x 2-1/2 inch Grade 5 carriage bolts, nuts, and matching washers to form a vibration-resistant structural foundation that prevents bolt-shearing under severe sub-zero plow stress.

For professional ice maintenance crews and commercial contractors, running a fresh high-carbon steel cutting edge prevents direct friction damage to the permanent base angle of the moldboard. This original manufacturer-grade replacement delivers the exact OEM tolerances and robust material composition required to maintain long-term operational durability. By utilizing this factory-authentic kit during standard pre-season or mid-season fleet maintenance, you preserve your plow’s framework and ensure your equipment stays ready for demanding midnight winter storms.
