Markham toothbar came today - PICS!

[bheston]

Markham Welding is one super place to deal with. They were fast, friendly, and always called me to keep me informed of the order. They shipped so fast I swear the UPS man burnt his hands one the still-hot welds! Couldn't ask for better. If anyone is looking for a toothbar, you first stop should be Markham welding. If they are reading this post, thank you.

Okay, enough with that - here are the pics! I did take extra time to throw on a little green and yellow. The actual bar is black. I also welded on the plates to the bucket. This is my "puny" little 49" bucket on my 2210. My 2520 is due in next week but I m keeping this bucket. Wonder just how long that paint will last........

Looks perdy......

you ask how long that paint would stay on. UHmmmmmmm.
about 10 mins....
But it sure looks good now......
good thing you got plenty pictures. it wont look like that after it hits dirt
or rock.

That color combo looks great. Other than that, it looks just like mine as I got it from the dealer.

Hope you didn't weld it to the bucket. I only use mine for dirt work. Otherwise, it's in the way of most work and digs too much.

It's the first paint job I can't wait to ruin! I'm sure the 2520 will take some paint off. It's not welded to the bucket. I only welded the reinforcing tabs that Markham provides to the outside of the bucket. Two bolts and she's off.

By the way, UPS label indicated 65lbs.

The paint job looks good, the teeth better!

The only problem I have with the JD color scheme is that I'm a big college football fan. And I am not Catholic...

After a few uses, I've taken to putting those side bolts back into the bucket when the toothbar is off, as I sometimes have other uses for them. You have bucket hooks; so maybe you won't need them for anything else.

Congrats! And yes, Markham is a class A act in my opinion!
