Case cx36b ownership

[gtbensley]

Does anyone know if the cx36b and a case cx50 would use the same size bucket pins? I found a quick coupler but can't go check current to see if it would fit. I thinki g the cx36b has 40mm pins and the cx50 has 50mm pins.

I'm quite certain the cx50 uses 45mm bucket pins as do many of the 5-6 ton minis.

Ahh yes, I believe you are correct. I need to go out some calipers on my pin and measure. Tape measure indicates they are 1 3/4 which seems big.

But 45mm is just about 1.77 inches so maybe it will fit.

If yours on the 36 are 45mm they should fit

Re measuring them but it sure seems so. Quick coupler would be mighty nice to add

I did remeasure with calipers...they are 40MM not 45MM so the coupler I had found didnt work out. Tring to find other options.

Quick couplers are handy on your excavator. I've got a hyd operated one on my machine but think a simple mechanical type would be about as good for the few times I switch buckets. Either style eliminates the time and mess of pulling and realigning greasy pins.

Got a quick coupler....company from upstate NY so not too far away. So far very happy with it.

It will span a pretty wide distance from pin centers so I should have some flexibility. My question is though, the width has some space in it. Is this normal or so I need to tack some spacers in there?

Finally getting going on some firewood. Got the old Stihl fired up.
