Western engineers the Western 44277-1 Shoe Kit to elevate heavy moldboard structures above abrasive clearing surfaces. Additionally, this heavy-duty cast iron assembly protects the main structural cutting edge from premature friction deterioration. Because gravel parking lots and uneven pavement sections cause sudden impact damage, fleet drivers require dependable height elevation. Therefore, these solid round disc shoes prevent the blade from gouging soft base grounds.
This complete original manufacturer package supplies matching mounting brackets, steel spacers, thick washers, and locking linchpins. Consequently, commercial shop mechanics execute rapid bolt-on upgrades without experiencing custom drilling delays. Furthermore, the robust cast construction handles massive vertical load forces during extended high-speed municipal runs. As a result, plow operations retain perfect moldboard balance while maximizing cutting edge service life.
