It will, in fact.
I'm not sure what part number you have, but it appears that all Western plows use the same motor. Take a close look at the image and see how it compares to your motor. If you purchase one, you will receive exactly what is shown in the picture.
We are unable to cross the part number. Compare the image in the listing to the one on the website. It should work if you have the same color case and a single post with the same mount.

I used it to plow my driveway for the rest of that winter and last winter. This year, I took the plow out of the garage (it's kept warm when not in use) and it worked for a few minutes before giving up. I reinstalled the original Western motor (20 years old) and it still works, albeit a little noisily, which is why I changed it in the first place. Even before I installed it, I noticed that this motor doesn't turn as fast or have the same kw/hp as the stock western pump. In a pinch, it's a good idea to have a spare. If you plow commercially, I would avoid this motor and instead opt for a factory stock one; you get what you pay for, cheap price, cheap motor.
Older Western plow motor was replaced because it was consuming far too much current just to move the blade. The new motor was a perfect fit, and it is now quiet and smooth. The voltage gauge barely moves any longer, and the plow is running smoothly. ** If you live in the Northeast, like me, make sure to change your plow motor fluids once a year and use the low-temperature fluid designed for plow motors. It'll save you a lot of time and headaches! Plow is now working perfectly. If there are any problems, I will let you know.
2/17/21: When I ordered the motor, it arrived exactly as shown in the Amazon photos. The motor arrived well-protected, with a box inside a box and plenty of bubble wrap between them. The positive cable post had a red identification washer on it in the same location as my original, but there were no instructions in the box or on the DB Elec website. Negative connection could not be found, but it was assumed to be the bolt protruding from the side of the motor casing on the bottom. Motor was put through its paces with a bolt acting as the Negative. I tested the connection and it worked fine, so I used it. My old Western motor's negative/ground connection had no post and was grounded to the motor's base. This style appeals to me more. DB Elec would be a good option. Positivity should be marked. and Neg. Any question can be answered using terminals. It took less than 10 minutes to install the motor because it fit perfectly. I put the plow to the test and it worked perfectly. Others have noted that the motor was not louder than my original motor. I haven't used it yet, but once I do, I'll update it.
It could be something as simple as too much clearance in the shaft slot, or it could be something else entirely. When in use, it makes a rattling sound. I'm not sure how long it'll last, but it'll do for now.
My Western Unimount Snow Plow fits perfectly with it. I wish they came with a gasket on the older models. Fortunately, the old gasket was still functional.
This electric motor was installed on my Fisher plow, which was salvaged from a Toyota Tacoma in 1987. This plow will be installed on my 1994 Mazda B4000. The motor performs exactly as it should.
It's a dream to use.
