toothbar

Yes, that is correct. If the slot is long enough to get the bottom out past the cutting edge, you may want to move the hole back slightly in the slot just to have a little wiggle room for error and when/ if the cutting edge has wear from use when the toothbar is not on.

I got it. Very nice. Now dumb question before I try to drill a 3/4" hole in the bucket. Don't you try to put the bolt closest to the front of the bucket (in the slotted hole) to be able to flip it up when you don't want/need teeth? Do I remember this right? Thanks guys.

After you get it flipped up, isn't it in the way? I put my tooth bar in place, gave it a few hits with a 2 pound hammer to seat it and drilled the bolt holes 1/8 forward of the BACK side of the slot.

Huh, I never thought of that. Wasn't sure why there was such a long slot in the mounting arms... oh well.

bigtill, yeah the bar would be in the way when you flip it up, however, you would get your smooth bucket cutting edge back if that's what you needed.
