Was Told a Tooth Bar Won't Work On My Bucket - Need Help

[Rustyiron]

The only measurement that is important is the inside (bucket) dimension on any tooth bar that I have ever had (3). The only minor mounting issue might be that you have to burn the holes if they end up being in the turned up cutting edge. (rather than drilling the bucket side plate). The "teeth" never end up right at the end of the bar and that minor radius should not be a problem. The 2 bolts really do little work, at least in my experience. Most of the time removing the TB requires some determined sledge hammering. You will not regret having a TB! My buddy used to say if your bucket doesn't have teeth, you might as well wear a dress.

Thank you all for the info, photos, and suggestions. I have my tooth bar on order with Everything Attachments. I've been looking at that bucket for 12 years and never realized how uniquely the cutting edge is folded up and welded in. The installation will not be as straight forward as most but it should still be simple.

Gordon,

Glad EA is able to help you out. I have a similar cutting edge on my Kubota bucket and have had no problem with installing and removing my tooth bar. I believe it's a Markham.

I put a HD tooth bar on my Kubota. The FEL has a six foot HD round back Kubota bucket(M1811). The bucket looks just like yours. The tooth bar is by Rankin and slipped over the bucket lip with no problem. I want mine to be a more or less permanent installation so I drilled 3/4 inch holes thru the tooth bar and bucket and bolted the sucker right on. I can still remove the tooth bar but it would require unbolting(4).View attachment 360495

That hole in the bucket side looks about right for bolting a toothbar on. I believe your bucket has had one on before..

Just a follow up. My Tooth Bar arrived. I guess I don't know why there was a question originally, it seems to fit like a glove. The mounting tongues are even long enough that I don't have to burn a hole in the folded up cutting edge. Just have to drill thru the 3/8" side plate.
I am going to wait for a warmer day before I drill any holes though.
Thanks for all the replies.

Looks good, like a tooth bar should! :thumbsup:

It will make a big difference in hard clay.

You are really going to like that with your grapple on the bucket.
