Pre drilled holes? In bucket

[grsthegreat]

The 6 lower holes are for a bolt on cutting edge/wear bar.

is that what there for...thank you. ive been wondering what there for.

I even emailed Kioti a few days ago. havnt heard back from them yet.

But now i know

My toothbar slides over the bucket cutting edge and is held in place by 2 bolts (one on each side of the bucket).
I can install or remove it in minutes.

my bucket sides are 3/16" steel...14 gauge is awfully thin

Well, I admit I estimated but 12 gauge is pretty close to 1/8 inch. I can measure mine next time I am near the tractor but I'd be surprised at 3/16ths. However, I've been wrong before!:laughing:

I did drill the toothbar holes on my CK20 bucket and those were certainly not hard to do with a battery powered drill.

i measured mine with a digital thickness device when i was designing a trailer moving device.

Wait until you have the tooth bar. Most of them have a fixed bolt and one that has a slot type attachment. If you locate the holes properly, you can loosen the bolt in the slot one and flip up the tooth bar for backstabbing with the tooth bar out of the way.

The holes in the side of the buckets are used to attach the bucket to the pallet for shipping. Before you ask why are they in both side then? Because when the end plate are cut and drilled they are the same and it doesn't matter what side they get welded to.

Dealer had a tooth bar in stock so they r just gona pre drill it for wat a nice guy. Been a good buyin process with Hoover Tractors.

...... and my tooth bar just slips over the cutting edge and is held on with four "set screws", no holes to drill.

The holes in cutting edge are for extra bolt on cutting edge, as stated earlier, but also for individual teeth to be bolted on. Holes in side of the bucket are for side wear bars to bolt on. At least this is on the Bobcat loader buckets.
