Hi there,
I had a local steel shop upgrade one of our bobcat buckets a few years ago. They put new wear strips and beefed it up and the owner of the shop convinced me to change to a different set of teeth. The ones he recommended were incredible!!! They lasted four years in hard digging in rock (approx 2000 hrs) WITHOUT BREAKING A SINGLE TOOTH!!! Anyhow we sold that machine and got a new one and the guy went out of business so I can't track him down to identify the type of teeth he used. Can someone please help.
The teeth were painted red when new (kind of purple-red) and they use a small rectangle pin that (believe it or not) was plastic! The pin got hammered gently in from the top and then to change the tooth you used a punch to pop the plastic pin out the bottom. The teeth were self sharpen ing and sort of rounded sides near the tips. I'll post a picture if I can find one of the spares that I had bought. Frantically searching all over our shop to find one. Please help. Thanks
