Oddly enough, there is a person on ebay that sells several types of shank and tooth. His prices are very reasonable. Search for "bucket teeth" in the business and industrial area.


3/8 x4 is probably all you will need.

This place was the least expensive I found Terra-Cut Rubber Tracks and Replacement Wear Parts
$144 shipped to my door for 8 Fabco adapters and crimp on teeth. Should be less $$$ for you since they were drop shipped (not cheap) from Ohio. Seems like most people are using 7 teeth on a 60" bucket, w/my soil (clay)... Glad I used 8. Depends on the thickness of your cutting edge as to what flat stock to use. I ended up with 1/4" x 4". I also made the mount so I can just pull the tooth bar forward and flip it up to the top of the bucket without actually removing it to get it out of the way.
Let me know if if you go this route and need Fabco part #'s

I used a guy on ebay. Just looked him up not much there right now! But he was way cheaper than what I could get them for locally. I bought shanks and teeth. Wish I would have gotten the pins from him too. He had them for 2.25 I paid 3.75. I used 4"X.5" and welded the shanks on. I still warped the flat, but I'm not a welder either.... It still works great though. Hope this helps.
