Backhoe Tooth needed

[chim]

Had a couple similar teeth come off a King Kutter box blade a year or two ago. When I went for replacements, I was told the crimp-on style weren't available so I bought weld-on. A couple stitches and no more worries.

I would try Amerequip (ARPS) info@amerequip.com or call 920 894-2000. They made/make some light weight buckets and use fabricated teeth that are odd to the industry standard backhoe teeth.
By the way, crimp-on teeth are fabricated with or without hole to crimp to dimple in the shank.

I would try Amerequip (ARPS).

Thanks! I think they built these backhoes for Kubota and Yanmar back in the day. Somebody posted that information on here years ago and I had forgotten that name. I'll contact them.

TractorTech, again thank you for the link to Arps/Amerequip.


Ameritech responded quickly to my inquiry. They said inquire at a parts retailer under the following #'s:

H&L Tooth Company's "O", later renamed "OSP" (the actual tooth manufacturer)

Arps/Amerequip part number 013623 (or 13623 when they first used these)

Deere PT8163 (and researching that, it seems this tooth was used on Deere's Model 7 backhoe)

None of those numbers appears on Ebay. Amazon shows the tooth direct from Deere but notes out of stock and will not restock.

I think what I need next is the name of a Deere mailorder parts vendor with a huge inventory in-house since this is such an obscure part. Looking for dealers online I can't tell the real stocking dealers from the places that just backorder for you. Or can I mailorder direct from Deere?

Thanks in advance for any more advice, from anyone.

Find a Woods dealer in California or plug p/n:62660 into Messicks for price and picture. The complete Hensley part number D-838-OSP.

For that # 62660 Messicks shows a 6" long tooth that looks like a hand chisel, and they never responded to my inquiry a few days ago. So it seemed dealing with them might not go straight to a satisfactory transaction.

After ARPS (thanks TractorTech!) supplied the Deere # I went over to the Deere TBN forum and inquired for a good Deere mailorder vendor.

Beenthere suggested greenfarmparts.com so I went ahead and ordered from them after reading their website. Claimed to be the biggest Deere mailorder parts vendor in the world, half million parts in stock, Deere dealer for 60 years etc. And claimed to have this obsolete part in stock for same day free shipping.

I'm hoping this avoids the delay of dealing with a smaller vendor who likely would backorder from these guys (or from another broad-stock Deere dealer).

Thanks everyone who contributed helpful suggestions! Hopefully this wraps it up. I'll describe the results when the part arrives.

The picture on Messicks shows the tooth and shank together from the shank pocket side. The tooth is about 2.5" long and the pocket width about 3/4".
Deere did not show availability through their system, so I wonder what the price for the obsolete tooth is going to be?
The remark that a local dealer would backorder the item is strange, they could get the tooth from a known source that you can go back to. Time doesn't seem to be the biggest problem here. Why don't you contact Pioneer Equipment in California or some other Woods dealer local to you? Or Messicks as their picture is what is in error, not the part number?

Deere 7, Arps 70 and IIRC Ford 757B are all the same hoe. Messick's shows New Holland p/n ARP13623 as the tooth for a 757B and 3 in stock.

I continued this inquiry over in TBN's Deere forum, hoping the JD legendary support for their old equipment would be a convenient source.

Messicks never did respond to my inquiry.

Here's my thread over in the Deere forum that describes buying the last four teeth in existence that are known to Deere's parts-finder database (per the parts man who had them on his desk).


Thanks everyone for your help with this, in particular TractorTech for pointing me to Arps/Amerequip. That was the key to the puzzle.

Thanks California for the update. Interesting about RDO, I worked for them for 3 years and the y transfer parts all the time.
Rest assured that you can get the teeth from other sources next time you need them. Happy digging!
