Toothbar for C-50HL Loader

[ray4713]

I would like to get a toothbar for my FEL (Model C-50HL). I read from someone (Evasive1) that they put one on theirs - a woods toothbar. How does the toothbar attach to the bucket and what is the price. I have a 66" bucket. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I Have a ATI toothbar (non-removable teeth). My Bar slid over the edge of of the bucket and is kept in place with 2 bolts, one on either side of the bucket.

One thing with the HL50 is that the bucket is tapered on the sides. That being the case even with careful measuring you may need to grind the bracket to match the contour.

Otherwise I'm very happy with the performance the toothbar gives me.

I bought my Woods toothbar from Dancce for $295 including shipping. It is a 66" and has held up very well. (Might be more now with the price of steel is skyrocketing) You can hook one tooth on something and lift the back end of the tractor off the ground. You might call dan and see if he can have UPS deliver it to your doorstep.

It attaches to the edge of the bucket with a bolt on each end. I used a metal hole saw (the white one) to cut the bucket. Spraying a little oil as I drilled it took less than 1 minute on each side. I put two nuts on the bolt to protect the threads to make it easier to take off when I wanted to.

As stated thc c-50HL bucket tapers in towards the back, so I just took a 12 lb sledge and bent the heavy mounting brackets on the toothbar in a little and it fits into the bucket perfectly.

Hope this helps.
