Western Plows Part # 83629

1/2 X 3-11/16 Pin Kit

Western Part # 83629 is a Pin Kit, specifically containing a 1/2 inch diameter and 3-11/16 inch usable length pin. This kit is designed for various critical pivot or attachment points on Western Snow Plow models where a robust and easily removable pin is required for securement and articulation.

The 1/2 inch diameter indicates a heavy-duty pin capable of handling significant shear forces, making it suitable for demanding connections on a snow plow. The 3-11/16 inch usable length specifies the maximum thickness of the material the pin can pass through, ensuring proper engagement in its intended application. This kit includes the pin itself, along with the necessary retaining hardware, such as a cotter pin or hairpin clip, which passes through a pre-drilled hole in the pin to prevent it from accidentally dislodging during operation.

In Western Snow Plow applications, a pin kit like Part # 83629 is commonly used in areas requiring strong, yet occasionally disassembled, connections. This includes:

• A-frame to lift frame connections: Allowing the plow to pivot for lifting and lowering.
• Angling cylinder connections: Where the hydraulic ram attaches to the plow frame or blade.
• Trip mechanism pivots: Enabling the blade to trip over obstacles to protect the plow.
• Other pivotal or securing points: Anywhere a durable, removable pin is required for functionality.

Using this genuine Western Pin Kit ensures a precise fit, the necessary strength, and reliable retention for these critical pivot points, contributing to the safe and efficient operation of your snow plow. Always refer to your specific Western Plow’s documentation and parts diagrams to confirm compatibility with Part # 83629 and the intended connection point, and follow proper installation procedures, including the secure placement of the retaining pin.
