Tailgate Scraper Kit 2172937 Now Stocked For W195 W200 W205 Milling Machines

A Wear Blade Kit For W195, W200 And W205 Milling Machines

The tailgate scraper maintenance kit, part number 2172937, is now held in stock for W195, W200 and W205 road milling machines. It is the blade that runs behind the milling drum and clears the surface the machine has just cut — a small wear part whose condition decides how clean the track is handed over to the next operation.

What A Dull Scraper Actually Costs

The scraper glides on the milled surface and pushes residual material clear. When the edge rounds off, the blade stops cutting and starts riding: material rolls over the top, falls behind the machine, and the track is left with loose debris that has to be cleared by hand or by the next crew on site. On a night shift with a tight paving window, that is the difference between a surface ready for the paver and one that needs sweeping first.

Because the blade wears slowly, the change is easy to miss. Most crews identify it after the complaints rather than before, which is why a fixed inspection interval works better than waiting for the symptom.

What The Kit Provides

• W195, W200 and W205 fitment — the mounting hole pattern matches the original tailgate assembly for a bolt-on change.
• Wear-resistant steel blade — built for continuous abrasive contact with roughened milled surfaces.
• Reinforced blade thickness — up to a 10 mm section for longer wear life between replacements.
• Maintenance kit format — arrives ready to fit, so the tailgate is not left open waiting for drilling or machining.

Specification Snapshot

Reading Blade Wear Before It Fails

• Debris left behind the machine instead of being cleared
• Edge rounded back past the wear line, or polished rather than sharp
• Cracks at the mounting holes after an obstruction strike
• Material building up on the blade face instead of being pushed away
• Visible drop in track cleanliness over recent shifts

Two or more together means the blade has passed the point where re-dressing helps. Replace it before the next long run.

Fitting Notes

Park the machine, lower the drum and isolate before working at the tailgate. Note the blade orientation and shim arrangement before removal, clean the mounting face, check the holes for elongation, then seat the replacement, align the edge parallel to the drum and torque to specification. Run the machine briefly and confirm the blade tracks evenly without contacting the drum.

Planning Around The Lead Time

Kits are dispatched 3–6 weeks after payment and payable by L/C or T/T, which is longer than most consumables on the machine. Contractors with continuous milling schedules typically hold one kit per machine rather than ordering after a blade fails — the buffer costs less than a shift of hand-cleaning or a postponed paving window.
