The Western 21500-1 Motor powers the hydraulic pump to raise and angle your snow plow blade efficiently. Furthermore, the "-1" indicates an updated or revised version of the legacy factory electric motor. Consequently, fleet owners receive enhanced internal components to prevent winter breakdowns. Because of this, mechanics rely on this 4-1/2 inch OEM replacement to restore immediate blade responsiveness.
