Has anyone here been able to get the original forged teeth for the 12inch bucket. All I can find are the welded teeth and they don't hold up. The dealer says the welded teeth are the replacement p/n T2A

If you can't find the old type teeth --- try hardsurfacing the welded ones. That's what I ultimately did. Run a bead around the leading edge of the tooth and down the face, too.

Good luck.

I too am looking. If you look back you can find pix in a previous post of mine. My issue wasn't the wear surface wearing out, it was the thin metal shell. They distort and then the tooth falls off. Next week I am taking a trip to the big town and am going to take a sample by the bobcat (r) dealer and see if their teeth are made better.

I unlike some have had no issue with the root breaking off.
