Western 49853 – Heavy-Duty Snow Plow Shoe Kit (Pair)

The genuine Western 49853 Shoe Kit serves as a heavy-duty sacrificial wear package engineered to elevate and float specialized plow moldboards over unpaved, gravel, or rocky terrain. Designed as a direct drop-in fit for Western Prodigy winged plows, this kit is also utilized on Western WideOut and MVP Plus multi-position plows already equipped with factory-welded shoe receivers. Fleet mechanics install this authentic cast-iron shoe pair to lift the center moldboard assembly slightly off the ground, stopping the steel scraping edge from digging into soft gravel lanes, turf, or decorative stone brick surfaces.

This industrial-grade package contains a matched pair of Western 53595 heavy-duty round disc shoes, each featuring a solid 1-inch round by 6-inch long vertical mounting stem and a wide 6-inch circular contact base. To enable exact mechanical clearance tracking across changing winter constraints, the kit packages a comprehensive stack of 91192 adjustment washers alongside 93010 safety linchpins. By rearranging these spacers along the vertical post, shop operators fine-tune the blade’s precise clearing height, eliminating blade catching and reducing structural stress during intensive commercial snow-clearing shifts.

Because extreme sub-zero scraping over abrasive frozen soils quickly destroys standard metal frameworks, Western pours these shoes from specialized, wear-resistant cast iron to ensure uniform structural load distribution. Utilizing this genuine factory-authorized accessory prevents premature thinning of your high-carbon cutting edges, lowering annual fleet overhead costs and preserving the moldboard’s permanent structural base angle.
