Hello,
I have a 2000 New Holland TC35D with a 16LA loader. The cutting edge on the bucket is very worn and I want to replace it. It is welded on even though there are 8 holes that are 9.5 inches apart. The holes are open and go through the cutting edge and the bucket. My question is can/should I just get a replacement cutting edge (probably a reversible one) and by drilling the appropriate holes in it just bolt it on to the existing cutting edge or should I remove the existing cutting edge first and have the new one welded on? It's a 73" bucket (outside edge to outside), and the 8 holes are 9 1/4" apart. I do a lot of back-dragging and scrapping, snow removal and summer gravel maintenance, for my gravel lane and blacktop driveway. I'm most concerned about the protruding bolt heads on the bottom side if I were to just bolt on a new cutting edge. Any thoughts, comments, concerns are much appreciated. Thank you.
