hi there, just need some help with the teeth on the bucket of my kubota k-030. how are these teeth attached to the bucket via a pin ? one tooth has come off and i can see where it goes on but i was just wondering how to keep it in place ?? thanks guys all info much appreciated also any info on this excavator would be good. cheers
Not sure about the little machines but the teeth on my 12 ton are put on with pins you have to pound in.
thanks mate are all teeth similar to this ? i can see the pin my tooth seems ok but i think it is the pin that has been broken tomorrow i migh try to hammer it out.
i forget to mention its a 3 ton kubota but i guess most figuered that already
look when you put on the teeth,the teeth must being without play,maybe the support is very waste,the pin is only the key.
Found this picture. The pin for yours is like this? My Case excavator bucket has horizontal pins.
yes thanks mate thats how my pins look. so its just a matter of knocking them out ? the tooth has come off but the weld on adaptor as per the above pic is still there with the pin still in it ???? i think the top of the pin has broken away ? maybe ?? i just need to get it out of the weld adaptor/
Make sure you use the pin and don't weld it on....the bushings don't like that.
cheers nice and yellow. i just had a look at the other teeth on the bucket and they have been welded on ? the guy i bought it off must have done it. now i dont know what to do. should i weld the last tooth on also or knock them all out grind away the welds and buy new pins ? but then if i do that why have they been welded are the teeth adapters worn ? the one that is exposed looks good to me ??? sorry about the confusion any help would be appreciated . cheers
How about pictures? That would help a lot!
i will try to put some up today
On your tooth there should be a part # on the square edge- skinny part. The metal pin will have a sawtooth edge and there should be a rubberized 'keeper' that goes opposite of the pin. Smaller buckets like yours frequently use something like a 18s tooth. Just get the associated pin and keeper.
here are a few pictures hope this helps
It is just a roll pin retainer should hammer right out,but looks like the adpter is worn,may be hard to keep the tooth on
so hargrove i should just weld on the last tooth as well since the other two are welded on ??
I would pin it then weld it
yeah thats what im going to do i got the pin out today and will get a few on monday. thanks for all the help
You could also put a thinner rollpin in the first one to let it last a bit longer.
yes just weld them back on you will have to replaced the adapters sometime anyway
