The genuine Western 43088 Shoe Kit is a heavy-duty fleet accessory designed to extend the service life of your multi-position v-plow’s cutting edge and base angle weldment. This comprehensive package contains a matched pair of solid cast iron plow shoes. Consequently, installing these wear components allows your moldboard wings to glide over uneven pavement, unpaved surfaces, and gravel drives with absolute ease. By carrying the weight of the blade, it prevents premature grinding or edge thinning on harsh, abrasive ground.
This complete vehicle-side accessory is engineered to fit flared-wing configurations perfectly. Because many V-plow models do not feature pre-installed shoe receivers from the factory, this upfit kit includes the structural bolt-on mounting brackets necessary to establish a stable connection. Furthermore, the continuous adjustment column design allows shop mechanics to precisely dial in the optimal scraping clearance for gravel, stone, or unpaved municipal lots.
This factory-packed service unit ships complete with everything needed to execute a direct, clean shop installation. The master box houses two heavy cast iron shoes (part number 50695), two rigid weldment shoe brackets (part number 29743), and full high-tensile hardware. Please note that this specific MVP3 shoe kit is strictly incompatible with any accessory back drag edges.
