Western Plows Part # 74961

Carbide Cutting Edge Kit 9′

Western Part # 74961 is a Carbide Cutting Edge Kit, 9 feet long, designed for specific Western Snow Plow models. This kit provides a heavy-duty, high-performance cutting edge that features carbide inserts, significantly enhancing its wear resistance and lifespan compared to standard steel cutting edges.

This cutting edge is constructed from a robust steel base into which carbide inserts are brazed or welded. Tungsten carbide is an extremely hard and durable material, renowned for its superior abrasion resistance. These inserts are strategically placed along the bottom edge to provide exceptional wear life, especially when plowing abrasive surfaces like gravel, chip seal, or rough asphalt, and when operating in conditions that cause high wear. The “9-foot” length is precisely cut to match the full width of compatible Western plow models. The kit includes all the necessary heavy-duty mounting hardware, such as bolts, nuts, and washers, for secure attachment to the bottom of the plow’s moldboard.

Replacing a worn cutting edge with Western Part # 74961 offers several significant advantages:

• Extended Wear Life: Carbide edges last considerably longer than traditional steel edges, reducing downtime for replacements and lowering long-term operational costs.
• Superior Performance: Maintains a sharper, more effective scraping action for a longer period.
• Reduced Labor: Less frequent replacement means less labor spent on maintenance.

This genuine Western replacement part ensures a precise fit, optimal performance, and the robust durability you expect from a premium cutting edge. Always refer to your Western Plow’s documentation and vehicle-specific installation instructions to confirm compatibility and proper installation procedures.
