When welding alternate welding from one side of the bar to the other. Allow bar to cool off some from one tooth to another, otherwise you will end up with a big arched bar, ask me how I know, LOL

I did that on the first one I built. I might try heating the other side with a torch to try to reduce the arch.

Am also in that club. LOL

I persuaded my bar into position with a sledge but now it is as good as welded on what with sand and rust.
In fact the side hold bolts are not even needed at this point. (The rt side one simply flops around, loose)
Upside is most times the teeth are needed for what I do.
Since I have no asphalt nor need to load sand etc I can live with permanant teeth.
For smooth grading I added a HD angle to the heel of my bucket just to prevent wear on the heel. Works just fine.

I didn't get any. I got back in town and after unpacking, I got a late start.
I will take some and post them for ya

Reason I asked, a few months ago, I made this post with photos of Titan - It didn't look that beefy.

Just wondering if they beefed it up... the price is good.

here's the titan tooth bar. I don't know how it compares to the WR Long, but it seems more HD than the one on my Yanmar. I have no idea where the dealer got the one for the yanmar, But the teeth on this Titan tooth bar are much bigger, and the entire tooth bar is much heavier

I got my Titan toothbar in late Dec.,haven't even taken it out of the packaging. A 5 footer for my TC33. It's been too darn cold to mess with it. It looks like you only have one bolt on each side, is that all that is needed because of the way it hooks on to the cutting edge?

I think one bolt per side is all that is needed.
I have a different brand tooth bar on my other tractor only has one bolt per side and does fine.
