Western Plows Part # 42345-1

Hydraulic Unit 4000Psi

Western Part # 42345-1 is a Hydraulic Unit rated for 4000 PSI. This is a complete, self-contained hydraulic power unit designed for specific Western Snow Plow models. It is the central component that generates and controls the hydraulic pressure necessary to operate the plow’s lift and angling functions.

This hydraulic unit consists of several key integrated components:

• 12V Electric Motor: Powers the hydraulic pump.
• Hydraulic Pump: Generates the high-pressure fluid flow.
• Reservoir: Holds the hydraulic fluid.
• Valve Manifold: Contains the various hydraulic valves (solenoid, check, relief, etc.) that direct fluid flow to the cylinders.
• Hoses and Fittings: Internal connections within the unit.

The “4000 PSI” rating indicates the maximum operating pressure the unit is designed to produce, signifying its capacity for heavy-duty plowing applications where significant force is required to lift and angle large or heavy blades. The “dash 1” suffix indicates an updated or revised version of the hydraulic unit.

Replacing a malfunctioning, leaking, or severely damaged hydraulic unit with Western Part # 42345-1 is essential for restoring the complete hydraulic functionality of your snow plow. A faulty unit will prevent the plow from lifting, lowering, or angling, making it inoperable. This genuine Western part ensures a precise fit, optimal hydraulic performance, and the robust durability required for demanding snow removal operations. Always refer to your Western Plow’s documentation and vehicle-specific installation instructions to confirm compatibility and proper installation procedures.
