I am going to replace the shanks on my excavator bucket. The previous owner operated without teeth at times and wore them down quite a bit. I am going to replace them with H@L shanks and H@L teeth. The shank with the missing tooth has a hard time keeping on the tooth. The weld will break after a while since basically the shank is not holding the tooth at all. This is the only one that comes off. All the pressure is on the weld. I am tired of losing teeth on the shank. I plan on cutting off the shanks with my torch and then preheating and welding on the new ones using 1/8" 7018 ac rods. Any tips on this project?
Maybe I should look towards a new bucket like this bucket , 24" fits excavator or loader backhoe 14-16 lbs.
