SHOE KIT
Western Part # 49853 is a Plow Shoe Kit designed for use with various Western Snow Plow models. Plow shoes are adjustable, wear-resistant discs or rollers that attach to the bottom of the plow’s moldboard. Their primary function is to regulate the scraping height of the cutting edge, preventing it from digging too aggressively into uneven surfaces like gravel driveways or potentially damaging softer surfaces like lawns. They also help to support the weight of the plow when it’s not fully lowered, reducing wear on the cutting edge itself.
This kit typically includes two complete plow shoe assemblies, one for each side of the plow. Each assembly generally consists of a durable, hardened steel or polyurethane shoe (either a disc or a roller), a mounting bracket, and the necessary hardware for attachment to the plow’s moldboard. The design allows for vertical adjustment of the shoes, enabling you to set the desired scraping height based on the surface you are plowing. This adjustability is crucial for adapting to different plowing conditions and preventing damage to both the surface and the plow.
By installing the Western Part # 49853 Plow Shoe Kit, you gain greater control over your plow’s scraping action, making it more versatile for various plowing surfaces. The durable construction of the shoes ensures they can withstand repeated contact with the ground, providing long-lasting performance and protecting your cutting edge from premature wear. This kit is an essential accessory for maintaining the optimal performance and extending the lifespan of your Western Snow Plow. Always refer to your Western Plow’s documentation to confirm compatibility with your specific plow model and follow the provided installation instructions for proper and secure mounting of the plow shoe assemblies.
