Part # 42389 – CABLE ASSEMBLY W/ HARDWARE

CABLE ASSEMBLY W/ HARDWARE

Western Part # 42389 is a Cable Assembly with Hardware. This kit is designed for use in the trip-edge mechanism of certain Western Straight-Blade Snow Plows, where it plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the trip springs and the blade’s ability to “trip” over obstacles.

This cable assembly specifically connects the trip spring to the moldboard or the trip-edge frame. When the cutting edge strikes an immovable object, the trip springs compress, allowing the blade to pivot back and over the obstruction. The cable helps to manage this motion, ensuring the springs are properly loaded and that the blade returns to its plowing position after tripping.

The “with Hardware” designation indicates that this kit includes the cable itself, along with all the necessary fasteners, clips, thimbles, or other components required for its complete and secure installation. The cable is constructed from high-strength, galvanized steel wire rope to resist corrosion and handle the significant tension and dynamic forces it experiences during plowing.

Replacing a frayed, broken, or seized cable assembly with Western Part # 42389 is essential for maintaining the safety and functionality of your plow’s trip-edge system. A properly working trip edge protects the plow, the truck, and the operator from damage when encountering hidden obstacles. This genuine Western kit ensures a precise fit, optimal 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.
