Western SnowEx Part # 49067 - Straight Blade Disc Shoe Assembly

What It Is

The Western SnowEx Part # 49067 is a straight blade disc shoe assembly designed for use on snow plows, not lawn mowers. It serves as a wear component that protects the cutting edge and skid shoes on straight blade plows during snow removal.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Primary Use: Western and SnowEx straight blade snow plows (not mower blades). Confirm your plow model is a straight blade, not a V-plow or poly blade.
• OEM vs Aftermarket: This is an OEM Western/SnowEx part, so it matches factory specs exactly.
• Measurements: The assembly includes the disc shoe and mounting hardware. Verify bolt hole pattern and shoe width match your existing shoe—measure center-to-center bolt spacing and shoe thickness.
• Deck/Plow Size: Works with most 7.5-ft to 8.5-ft straight blades. Not for compact or UTV plows.
• Check Before Buying: Remove your old shoe and compare the bolt pattern, shoe profile, and wear pad thickness. If your plow uses a different mounting style (e.g., trip-edge vs. non-trip), this may not fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty cast iron construction with replaceable wear pad—holds up to abrasive snow and ice better than stamped steel shoes.
• Installation Difficulty: Moderate. Requires removing the old shoe (may be seized) and torquing bolts to spec (typically 30-40 ft-lbs). Use anti-seize on bolts for future removal.
• Common Gotcha: The disc shoe assembly includes the wear pad and shoe bracket. If your old bracket is intact, you may only need the wear pad (sold separately). Check before buying the full assembly.
• Maintenance: Replace when the wear pad is worn to 1/4-inch thickness to avoid damaging the blade edge.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Western or SnowEx straight blade plow and need a direct OEM replacement for a worn or damaged disc shoe assembly. It’s ideal for commercial or heavy residential use where durability matters. Skip it if your plow uses a different shoe style (e.g., bolt-on wear bars) or if you only need the wear pad—buy the pad alone to save money.
