Toothbar tooth selection.

Markham is out, they don't answer phones, return calls or e-mails. So I am looking into making my own. Now has anyone have any experience with either of these teeth?

the A-175-1 or the case 23 series picture shows the shank only.

Here is a link of the tooth bar I built with all the info on the teeth and flat bar.

Hey... I emailed them a few days ago and got a very nice response shortly there after. Email can't be trusted. Yours could have gone who knows where. I'm surprised they didn't answer their phone though. I will be phoning them to order shortly and will find out if that is typical. Bill

I just received my new toothbar from Markham last week. I called to place the order on a Friday afternoon and picked it up from their Denton, NC facility the next Friday. Super friendly service on the phone as well as in person. Toothbar slipped right in as advertized. Sorry you have had trouble reaching them. I came away an extremely happy customer. Good luck with your toothbar either way.

Cheers

Called Markham about 10 days ago. Ordered a grapple. Said it would ship and arrive in a week. It arrived. No problems.

I'm sure they are nice people.....I just want to move forward on my toothbar.

This is one of the best I've seen. I like the idea of mocking up parts and then welding in place to get the exact fit. I like the teeth and cutting bar that was used. Noticed Joe put the new edge escalating right up from existing edge.
Joe ended up with the perfect tooth bar as far as fit goes.

Okay, I can buy teeth....now I need help with the cutting edge. Should I cut the angle with a torch. These days I am getting some very clean cuts with the torch using tricks from a near by welding shop.
Are these edges readily available?

You can get a piece from this company. Discount Steel - The widest selection of steel, aluminum and other metals at discount prices. Click on "steel" then "hot roll" and then "beveled cutting edge". You can order any length you need, and there is no minimum $$ order.

Ordered the Markham on May 20th, arrived on June 11th. It would have been there on the 10th, but UPS "forgot to put it on the truck". Tonight I put it on. Two washers on each side for spacers. A couple acorn nuts to finish it off. Took about 20 minutes. Next stop dig out a small access road to the septic area.

Oh, I drilled in the middle of the slot. I was split between the two methods. I can unbolt it if needed.
