Part # 50644 – URETHANE EDGE RETAINER BAR

URETHANE EDGE RETAINER BAR

Western Part # 50644 is a Urethane Edge Retainer Bar. This component is specifically designed to work in conjunction with urethane cutting edges on Western Snow Plows, providing essential support and securement for the cutting edge to the plow’s moldboard.

The retainer bar is typically a long, robust strip made from durable steel. Its purpose is to sit behind the urethane cutting edge, providing a rigid backing that helps distribute the forces encountered during plowing. While the urethane edge itself provides superior quietness, reduced impact on sensitive surfaces, and often longer wear life in certain conditions, it requires this retainer bar to maintain its structural integrity and proper alignment against the moldboard. The retainer bar ensures that the flexible urethane edge remains firmly attached and performs effectively.

By installing Western Part # 50644, you ensure the correct and secure mounting of your urethane cutting edge. This retainer bar plays a vital role in preventing the urethane edge from flexing excessively or detaching under stress, thereby maximizing its performance and lifespan. It’s an integral part of a urethane cutting edge system, not used with steel cutting edges. Always refer to your specific Western Plow’s documentation and cutting edge system diagrams to confirm compatibility with Part # 50644, and follow proper installation procedures to ensure securement of the urethane edge.
