The genuine Western 62550K Ram Assembly Kit serves as a primary hydraulic cylinder component for conventional Western Uni-Mount and standard straight-blade snow plows. Precision-engineered with a 1-1/2 inch bore diameter and a 10-inch stroke length, this double-acting high-pressure cylinder delivers the robust mechanical force required to actuate critical blade movements under extreme winter weather loads. Consequently, fleet mechanics install this authentic factory kit to replace leaking, seized, or bent hydraulic rams before severe winter storms demand continuous clearing operations.
This service kit features an industrial-grade chrome-plated piston rod that provides exceptional corrosion resistance and shields internal rolling surfaces from fine salt dust, abrasive sand grit, and moisture penetration. Because freezing temperatures and heavy snow stacking place immense strain on the plow’s hydraulic power unit, professional operators require heavy-duty components that maintain absolute seal integrity without fluid bypassing or mechanical binding. Therefore, this comprehensive factory package restores the uniform hydraulic pressure and fluid delivery needed for reliable back-dragging and efficient snow pile stacking.
Winter maintenance crews reduce expensive equipment downtime and prevent hazardous hydraulic fluid drops by changing out grinding or sluggish ram cylinders before sub-zero winter fronts arrive. Consequently, your commercial plow vehicle preserves its exact angling or lifting radius without stalling the hydraulic pump or straining vehicle electrical networks. Furthermore, this complete package includes standard factory-machined 3/4-inch pin mounts and a 1/4-inch NPT hose port to guarantee a secure, vibration-resistant installation directly into standard factory frame tabs.
Benefits of the Western 62550K Ram Assembly Kit
-
Genuine OEM Fit: Sized and engineered specifically as a direct replacement for Western 1-1/2″ x 10″ hydraulic cylinders.
-
Premium Structural Casing: Heavy-duty metal fabrication prevents cylinder wall flexing or structural deformation under heavy plowing states.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Protective plating safeguards exposed surfaces from road salt, liquid de-icers, and brutal environmental conditions.
-
Optimal Fluid Seal Integrity: High-tolerance internal seals prevent internal pressure drops, eliminating annoying blade drift or slow cylinder extension.
-
Streamlined Shop Workflow: Complete assembly matches original manufacturer specifications exactly, eliminating the need for custom drilling or field modifications.
