Jim,
I finally got around to ordering my fork teeth yesterday and was told they are back ordered. So now I wait longer.
hugs, Brandi

Brandi, the teeth I got from them have been excellent. I've not worn out the first set I installed. They sell quality products. I'm sorry you have to wait a bit on the backorder.

I know this thread is old, Jinman, but did you ever try the other clamp stile pins?
Reason for me asking is because I recently bought a Case 580 Super M Series 2 and I started cleaning ditches and lost my first tooth on that maschine after about 10 engine hours. It had new teeth installed by the dealer, when I bought it and it has those clamp stile pins in it. So far I am not so impressed with them. The soil around here has a lot of rocks and big boulders in there. Anyway... so far my plan is to get bolts and locking nuts...

I have bolts/nuts only and have no problems with teeth except I probably am due for a new set. I bought enough for another couple of replacements. Since bolts are so cheap and easy, I doubt I'd ever even give the pins a chance. Every hardware store in the world has bolts, but not those specialty pins.

I am busy ripping out tree stumps at the moment with my Case 580 Super M. I keep losing my bucket teeth. So I replaced the split pin with a grade 8 bolt, washers and locking nut. So far the split pins hold up 10 times better than the bolts with locking nut. Today I broke 3 bolts and lost one tooth. And that is every day like that when I work the machine all day. 2 or 3 bolts are nothing a day. I am just about thinking to weld them on.

On my backhoe the tooth stub takes all the pressure. The bolt just makes sure the teeth stay on the stub. I've dug in hard material and rocks, but never had a problem with the bolts. I wonder if the Case bucket is made slightly different?

I lost one on the JD 310B but they were all really worn. Found four replacement teeth for $6.50 each. The old ones had been welded on upside down. The shop welded the new ones back on correctly. So far so good.I am cutting a lot of roots so I can push over trees but we do not have rocky soild.
