Markham Toothbar for Loretta's 284 Jinma

[3RRL]

Thanks Marc,
You've reminded me to saw off that ugly protrusion.
I doubt her toothbar will ever come off anyway. I know the one on my 554 Kama never has in 3 years now. I saw Markham now has a slot for the side wall bolt whereas mine only had a hole. It's for loosening so you can slide the toothbar forward of the cutting lip and flip it backwards for smoothing with the bucket. But I wanted the toothbar firmly pulled up against the lip at all times so I used the back of the slot. She won't be able to flip it by loosening, but will need to take it off completely.

I just couldn't stand the thought of the toothbar sliding forward under use or if it got caught. I thought about why they provide that reinforcement piece for the side walls in the first place, so there must be some force to allow the hole to elongate without it. With that in mind, hers is snug against the lip and can't budge. To each his own, I guess.

lol John, I was talking about my golf game...

Oh, golf!

So what's the big deal about shooting the same as your age anyway? I was doing that 15 years ago.

Heck, I did it on the first hole and again on the second -> no problem...

During our Memorial day family camp out, we took the time to finish installing the Markham toothbar on Loretta's Jinma. After fitting and clamping it in place, we drilled holes in the bucket to bolt it on. It was pretty easy to do with a step drill and took about 20 minutes for everything, including welding on the side plates and re-painting.

Here are some shots of her tooth bar on the tractor.

Hey, nice job on the install...and welding job! I haven't welded mine yet...

OH yeah, and what about a toothbar for my scrapper blade, has any one made one that attaches to the scrapper blade, seems to me that would make it usefull, without purchaseing a box blade. Seems to me it would make it more versatile, in looseing the ground on a driveway etc.

Can't help you with the scraper blade but markham is now gator attachments. New management I believe.

i seen that, I think the site is down. actually, also I read a dozen comments about this Gator company buying it out. so on and so forth. Its seems when you find a good thing, something will go wrong with it. many small busineess get bought out if they are selling things cheaper than others want to sell them for. that America for you. Buy out the little guy if he gets in the way. Independant enterpirseing people get shut down one way or the other.
PS, small business will be extinct before long. Nothing but Walmarts on every block. God Bless America

I got a tooth bar from them just a few weeks back, and I JUST checked in on their web site:

Tooth Bar | Gator Attachments

and it works and displays quite well on the west side. The did have some
computer trouble recently after a twister was in their neighborhood.

Try again.
