Markham Welding Tooth Bar ?

IH3444 · Dec 24, 2005

Joe, I built the one you see on the IH3444 almost for free with scrap 4140, and 4340 1/2" plate, machined out the teeth, and only had to buy the hardfaceing rod. I welded it up in my uncle's shop with 7018 rod, and rosebud preheating. Took me 3 days to rebuild that bucket's front edge. I decided to put a spade nose onto it. That was almost 20 years ago. The NH TC48DA TB has a 3/4" x 4" bar, and after pricing the steel, teeth, and teeth holders, calculated in my time, which is more valuble now. It was cost effective to just buy it with the tractor. I make a much better salary now than I did 20 years ago. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif It does weight quite a bit, and I was surprised when I removed it for the first time.

Joe, Do you have a part number for the shanks you used to fab your tooth bar????

Thanks

My teeth are the 2.25" width, they are also available on ebay, along with the shank holders. I have seen many other teeth, and toothbars with the 1.75" wide teeth, but felt the TC48DA should have the larger teeth. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Vince; Took a while ( I'm so well organized ) I lied... I used 8 teeth for the bucket. Adaptors were #506007, Pins for the teeth were 506105. Didn't give a number for the teeth themselves. They were like a buck a piece.. very cheap. Hope this helps. jr

Joe,

By chance do you have Photos of your TB, is sounds like it is exactly like Markham's. Would like to see what your setup looks like completed. I enjoy welding and if I can save a Few Bucks, why not.
