Western Plows Part # 90490

5/8-11X4 Eyebolt G2

Western Part # 90490 is a 5/8-11 UNC x 4-inch Grade 2 Eyebolt specifically designed for use with the trip springs on various Western Snow Plow models. In this application, the eyebolt serves as a secure anchor point for attaching the trip springs, which are a critical safety feature allowing the plow blade to pivot forward when encountering obstacles, protecting both the plow and the obstacle from damage.

The 5/8-11 UNC thread ensures a strong and reliable connection to the plow’s A-frame or other designated mounting points for the trip spring mechanism. The 4-inch shank length provides the necessary extension to properly position the eyebolt for optimal trip spring function and tension. Being a Grade 2 eyebolt, it offers the required strength to withstand the forces exerted by the trip springs during normal plowing and when the blade trips.

The looped “eye” of the bolt provides a convenient and secure attachment point for the trip spring’s hook or other connecting hardware. Using the correct eyebolt for this application is crucial for ensuring the trip spring system functions as intended, providing essential protection for your plow. Replacing a damaged or missing eyebolt with this genuine Western part will help maintain the safety and operational integrity of your snow removal equipment. Always refer to your Western Plow’s documentation and parts diagrams to confirm that Part # 90490 is the correct eyebolt for your plow’s trip spring assembly and to follow proper installation procedures.
