Part # 64758-1 – 7.5′ BACK DRAG EDGE 0.25″ THK

7.5′ BACK DRAG EDGE 0.25″ THK

Western Part # 64758-1 is a 7.5-foot Back Drag Edge, 0.25 inches thick. This part is a specialized, quarter-inch thick steel cutting edge designed to bolt onto the rear side of the main cutting edge on certain 7.5-foot Western straight-blade snow plows.

Its primary purpose is to significantly enhance the plow’s performance when back-dragging snow. Back-dragging is the technique of pulling the plow backward (typically away from garage doors, loading docks, or other tight spaces) to remove snow. The design of this back drag edge provides a much cleaner scrape when operating in reverse, effectively pulling snow away without leaving behind stubborn layers or tire tracks.

The “0.25 inch thick” specification refers to the thickness of the steel, indicating a standard duty yet durable design for back-dragging. The “dash 1” suffix indicates an updated or revised version of the back drag edge kit. While the description here is for the edge itself, it is generally sold as part of a kit that includes all the necessary mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, washers) for secure attachment.

Installing Western Part # 64758-1 provides a distinct advantage in specific plowing scenarios, allowing for more efficient and complete snow removal in confined areas. It complements the forward plowing capabilities of the straight blade plow. Always refer to your Western Plow’s documentation and vehicle-specific installation instructions to confirm compatibility and proper installation procedures.
