toothbar installation

Well psuedofarmer,

If you did yours like that, guess what dont feel bad. I did mine that way to. Guess you all know what I'll be doing this weekend, you guessed it, doing it the right way. Shouldnt have been in such a hurry, maybe if I ran a forum /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gifsearch first I would only have to do it once.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the holes. You could fill them with weld...., but then you'll lose more integrity from all the heat you would be applying rather than just leaving them there.
You may find a use for them someday.

I wouldn't worry too much about the holes you drilled, just fill them with something or at least keep them painted to reduce the rusting.
If you were the only one who ever made mistakes such as this one, there wouldn't be such a need for tractor and other type forums! John

You can see a picture of one at www.wrlonginc.com and go to tooth bars. I'm not sure if it is the same type as yours.

Here's a photo of my home-made, pretty cheap ($50 total) toothbar that I had posted last year. It has worked fine, doing a lot of tearing and digging... keep in mind that it's on a smallish tractor, a Kubota B8200, and the concept of combine teeth would be too frail for a serious CUT bucket.

tell the wife that those holes are for water dispersing when you are digging in the mud and they needed to be there anyway. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Dont worry about them.
