Great. You will have to do a write up when you get them and install them.
What kind of tractor or skid loader are you putting them on??
Do you have a way to drill the cutting edge if it is hardened??

I ordered the teeth on the 9th and they were on my doorstep on the 11th!
They are going on a Kioti DK50.
There are 6 predrilled holes on the cutting edge so I'll just need 6 more for the back holes as well as 4 holes for the other two teeth.
I'm gonna try a 5/8 drill bit. I'll have to enlarge the holes on the teeth and the tractor about 1/16th.
They are too small for 5/8 and too large for 1/2". The are also too small for M16.

I would just use 1/2" bolts and call good.

I ended up going that route. I tried to take the teeth up to 5/8 and toasted a new bit.
Installed 6 teeth today.
I drilled holes(most of them, my drill fried) to install the other two teeth at either end, at an angle(saw it on my grader's 943, so I copied it).
They aren't perfectly straight because I left my speed square at the house. :mur:

Dont worry about the crooked teeth. Mine are that bad too. Did you see the pics at the beginning??:laughing:
And IIRC I even used a square. But no center drill and the bits walked just a tad. But works just fine.
