I have a toothbar on my FEL (JD 300CX) that I remove each winter so that I can use the FEL for moving snow, etc... My problem is that I literally have to use a sledge hammer to drive it on or off. It fits fine across the front lip of the bucket, but is very tight on the support arm sides where the bolts attach it to the bucket.
Question - would it be alright to simply grind the sides of the toothbar down slightly so that it just slides into place easier? Or does this affect the strength, flexing, etc....? I probably only need to take off 1/8". Anyone else have this problem, or is a very tight fit like this considered normal?
Thanks
