Western Plows Part # 62550K

Ram Assy 1-1/2 X 10 Kit (Substitute Ram 56775)

Western Part # 62550K is a Ram Assembly, specifically a 1-1/2 inch bore by 10-inch stroke Hydraulic Cylinder Kit. The “K” suffix indicates that this is a service kit, meaning it includes the complete hydraulic cylinder along with any necessary accompanying components for installation or initial setup.

This is a double-acting hydraulic cylinder, meaning it uses hydraulic pressure to extend the rod and also to retract it, providing controlled movement in both directions. The “1-1/2 inch” refers to the bore diameter of the cylinder, indicating the size of the piston inside, which directly relates to the force the cylinder can generate. The “10-inch” refers to the stroke length, which is the maximum distance the piston rod can extend, directly correlating to the range of motion for the plow’s function.

In Western Snow Plow applications, a ram assembly like Part # 62550K is used for a single, specific hydraulic function, most commonly:

• Plow Lift: Raising and lowering the entire plow assembly.

While theoretically capable of other movements, in Western plow designs, these cylinders are typically dedicated to one primary function.

Replacing a leaking, seized, or bent hydraulic ram with Western Part # 62550K restores the essential hydraulic function of your plow, ensuring smooth, powerful, and reliable movement. This genuine Western assembly guarantees proper 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.
