</font><font color="blue" class="small">( My homemade toothbar fastens with two 3/8" bolts through the bucket ends. I made the bar by starting with a very shallow "V" that slips over the existing bucket cutting edge. With the "V" shaped means of attachment, the forces are distributed well over the entire edge, which is reinforced by being in the "V".
My factory bucket has a welded-on cutting edge. When I noticed wear starting, I picked up a piece of steel for an add-on edge. To fasten this, I drilled 9 plain holes in the factory cutting edge for 3/8" stainless hex head bolts to pass down through. Then I drilled and tapped corresponding 3/8-16 holes in the add-on cutting edge. The bolts were tightened and ground off on the bottom of the add-on cutting edge. This provided a minimal amount of prutrusion on the upper side, and none on the bottom.....................chim )</font>
