Part # 42498 – RECEIVER PIN

RECEIVER PIN

Western Part # 42498 Receiver Pin is a critical component specifically designed to securely attach the receiver pocket assembly to the truck-side UltraMount system. This pin acts as the primary locking mechanism, passing through aligned holes in both the receiver pocket assembly (which mounts to the UltraMount on your vehicle) and the corresponding plow’s lift arm or A-frame. Once secured with this pin and a retaining device, the plow is firmly connected to the truck, ready for plowing operations. The plow’s forks then slide into and latch onto this receiver pocket assembly.

Constructed from high-strength steel to endure the significant forces and vibrations inherent in snow removal, this receiver pin is built for durability and reliable performance. Its precise dimensions ensure a snug and secure fit, minimizing movement between the plow and the truck mount. Typically used in conjunction with a cotter pin, hairpin clip, or similar fastener inserted through a hole in the end of the receiver pin, it prevents accidental dislodgement during plowing.

Using the correct Receiver Pin, Part # 42498, is paramount for a safe and stable connection between your Western Snow Plow and your UltraMount-equipped vehicle. It provides the necessary structural integrity to withstand the stresses of plowing, ensuring that the plow remains firmly locked onto the receiver pocket assembly, which is itself securely attached to the UltraMount. Always refer to your Western Plow’s documentation and UltraMount installation guides to confirm that this is the correct receiver pin for your specific UltraMount system and plow, and to follow proper connection
