Hrrrmph! I need to pull my bucket cylinder off, and all the various pins are held in by 'through-bolts' but the one on the end of the cylinder (rod end), seems to have nothing holding it in...I am stumped. However, there is what appears to be a circle of metal on one end of the pin...could this be a retainer of some sort? Also, one of the bucket teeth was in the tool box when I bought the old turd (JD 490D), the rest of them appear to be new. Do I take the tooth in somewhere to determine what type of retainer I need to secure the tooth back on? (Wain Roy bucket) Thanks! Mark
Pin 27 correct? Looks like it is a small pin held in by a fat snap-ring. You take the snap ring off and pull the retaining pin. Make sure you get all of it out, sometimes the break off inside.
http://www.bucket-teeth.biz/Browse-All_c11.htm This shows a lot of different styles but posting a picture of the tooth and adapter someone may recognize it.
Andrew is correct, the collar the is welded on the dogbone has a groove with a split ring in it. Use a screwdriver to pry the ring off it just keeps the retaining pin from falling out. Use the screwdriver to push the retaining pin out and you're home free. Yes, post a pic of the tooth and we can help, no telling what Wainroy used.
Gentlemen, thank you! Didn't get as far as spotting the retaining pin under the 'snap ring'. (And Deeretracks, dang, what a great user name! What do you have for a machine?) ~ Mark from Minnesota
Mark, I'm shop foreman for a mid sized contractor with about 50 pieces of gear. We have excavators ranging from Hitachi 35's up to PC400's. Plus dozers, backhoes, loaders, etc. A bit of everything. I used to be a field tech for a Deere dealer so some of the Deere/Hitachi stuff comes from memory. Glad I could help, any update on the teeth?
Deeretracks: On the teeth, yes, I tracked down the retainer that I would need, but it is over thirty bucks, not including shipping!! (Not the tooth, just the retainer) So I am planning on inserting a grade 8 bolt, and letting it wear... Does this make sense to you??? Thanks, Mark
No, I can't think of any retainers that would be that spend for that small size. Is it a cat style side pin? They only run about $5 for the pin and washer. Take a pic and I'll try to help.
It is a Hensley XS20SYL Tooth (according to the images on the link above from AndrewC) and the pin is XS20P...
Wow, I've never run across that style before. The price is crazy $110 for a tooth and pin? They better last way longer than the others because they are 4X the price.
