Bucket care

FarmWrench ยท 2014-10-11 03:17

Got this 36" bucket almost new when we got the tractor, 580SM Case, this is maybe 250 hours of work. I swapped outside teeth and am now discarding them putting next one in on the corner and some spikes in there place. Bunch of dumb questions. 1. I'm right to swap them out since there is no side cutter as soon as the tooth is not giving side clearance? 2. Cast teeth? Local dealer plays dumb when I ask about forged and fabricated teeth. "We have cast. Never anything else." 3. 23 or 230? Is there a difference? 4. Shouldn't they have been installed the other way up? 5. Fabricated wear any better? 6. Am I the only one to wax a bucket in preparation for sticky soils? (Works with the Armstrong model.)
