Bucket Teeth

[jred_82]

I need some help indentifying the teeth and shanks on a backhoe bucket. I have looked it over and cannot find any part numbers etc. Below are some pictures. The first two pictures are of the shank. Each side of the shank has a 2 step recess in it, but no thru hole. The current teeth are welded on and do not appear to line up with the recesses on the shank.

looks like a std "peen" on bucket tooth like early Case backhoes and other used, one more thing to note is they are all on the wrong way, the thick wear edge goes on the dirt flow side not on the bottom, they will dig much easier/faster when installed the correct way/angle , I get mine from my Case dealer cnt

old case pin type and they are on right they will not fit the other way. you will have a lot of work to fix the out side on that was used bare and the ones they weld on see that kind of crap 3 or 4 times a year. case dealer has them for something like 15 bucks with pin

I see the holes in the shank now he said not the pin type so I assumed but they dang sure are on wrong I sold Case backhoes for 25 plus years and have put thousands of hour on digging with them in the worst conditions around, you do not put the thick side dowm and this is not the high wear area the dirt flowing inside the bucket is what wears them and installed correctly they create their own "draw" for digging, you put them on how you want but my way they will out dig you in frost/hard ground 2 to 1 cnt

I remember working at a job and there was a disagreement on welded bucket teeth. For a backhoe application, the thicker flat side goes up and does the digging. On something like a skid steer or maybe a front end loader, the thick piece goes on the bottom so it leaves a flat surface. I hate the welded teeth on my skid steer because the thinner part wears thin and the teeth rip off. On backhoes the welded teeth are known to break as well. On a backhoe putting the thicker piece on the bottom would make them break a lot easier.

what I would do is cut the old shanks off and weld on some new ones. You only need about 4 or 5 on that bucket. On one of my backhoe buckets had bought shanks that fit a bigger trackhoe and welded them on my backhoe bucket, they have the pin and washer system to hold the teeth on and makes it alot easier to change teeth
