Part # 69455 – SHOE BRACKET WELDMENT

SHOE BRACKET WELDMENT

Western Part # 69455 is a Shoe Bracket Weldment. This component is a pre-fabricated sub-assembly designed to serve as a mounting point for the plow shoes (or wear shoes) on specific Western Snow Plow models. Being a “weldment,” it indicates that multiple metal pieces have been precisely cut and welded together to form a single, robust bracket.

The primary function of this shoe bracket weldment is to provide a strong and stable attachment location on the plow’s moldboard or push frame for the adjustable plow shoes. It is engineered to withstand the significant forces and abrasive contact that the plow shoes encounter during operation, ensuring they remain securely in place and can be properly adjusted. The weldment’s design incorporates the necessary bolt holes or slots for fastening the plow shoes, allowing them to be raised or lowered to control the cutting edge’s scraping height.

Constructed from heavy-gauge steel, this weldment is built for extreme durability and resistance to deformation, corrosion, and wear in the harsh winter environment. Its integral construction ensures precision and strength compared to bolted assemblies. Replacing a bent, broken, or severely worn shoe bracket weldment with Western Part # 69455 is essential for maintaining the proper function and adjustability of your plow shoes, which in turn protects your cutting edge and the plowing surface. Always refer to your specific Western Plow model’s documentation and parts diagrams to confirm compatibility with Part # 69455 and to ensure proper installation.
