Thats a great tip on the double nuts, I just wish my toothbar would get here so I can get it mounted... I am looking at your picture of the toothbar, I thought that it went over the cutting edge? I must have misunderstood...
Toothbar installed today

The cutting edge of the bucket slips into V-shaped slots in the back of each of the teeth (that's hard to see in the attached photo). When you seat the toothbar completely into these V-slots, it ends up looking like you see it in the attachment. That way the tooth bar is completely supported by the bucket cutting edge.
That's why Markham advises you that the cutting edge of your bucket has to be in good shape before you try to install their toothbar. My bucket was slightly bent from all the wear and tear I put on it, so I had to straighten the cutting edge a bit before the toothbar would slip into position without a lot of hammering.

Sweet, I wish mine would get here, so I can put mine on and then just look at it, or maybe rip some stuff out...

I have had a Markham toothbar for 1.5 years and it has been great! It is amazing how good it will dig in clay ground. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looks identical to the one the dealer installed on my 410 bucket. Never did know what it was. Goes on and comes off easily. The slot behind the teeth fits right over the bucket edge. Is held on with those 2 big bolts on the end.

Have you ever had any trouble with it going back on after having it off for awhile, if you have used the bucket a bunch and chipped or hit anything?
