Tangled Toothbar Tooth Tricky Task To Tempt

jrepp · May 20, 2005

Any advice on how to repair this bent tooth would be appreciated. I would just order a replacement but I don't know the manafacturer of the toothbar.

I think the teeth are pretty universal.. your tractor dealer might have some.

jrepp, your toothbar looks a lot like mine so you might try W.R. Long (http://www.wrlonginc.com/tooth_bars.htm).

I bet that title took you a while /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You could push that retaining pin out and take it to a welder to have it straightened. He will probably heat it up to bend it and that will anneal it some but it doesn't look like it was very hard to begin with. Oherwise, you might find a replacement on the attached link.
i had to replace a scarfier tip for a no name box blade and found one at John Deere. Although it looked similiar, it sat about an inch lower than the other teeth.

Suggest you ust use the red wrench and cut off the end and keep on truckin' untill you can get a replacement and pin it on. I doubt it will make any difference at all (except for aesthetics which don't even enter the picture for me if I'm workin). Bobg in VA

jrepp, I would just heat it to straighten ,until the replacement showed up. If thats possible for you; Just remember not to rely on it for single tooth pluckin as it won't be as strong after heating... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I would bet about 4' of leverage would straighten it, a piece of galvanized pipe that would just fit over the tooth, (possibly one inside the other), either muscled or pressed against the ground by the bucket, then tack the weld back together.

Fabco 23 series it looks like. Most skid-steer places should be able to hook you up with another.

Just slip him a pill of Viagra and he'll be all set for quite some time. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Put that tooth on a hard object. Put a torch to it and flip the lever on the bucket to straighten it out.

I also thought of the Viagra but that would only help for 24 hours and then it would be back to the way it is now. If it stayed straight for more than 4 hours, then he would have to take it to the emergency room for treatment. Possibly a orthodontist would be better. He could put braces on it and after a few weeks it should be as straight at the rest of the teeth... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
