Teeth, hooks and clevis for my CK20S Bucket

[rider7767]

I cut pieces off of a good quality 3/8 chain and used as loops to weld on my bucket. I have been looking for teeth suitable for my small tractor, but I could not find any I liked. Today I found Post Hole cutter. They are small enough, and strong enough. I welded them on, and man they make a different digging. I think I am going to put 3 more on.

Where did you find those Post Hole cutters? Inquiring minds want to know.

They look like TSC's.

Unrelated: I saw them in the store and thought they looked exactly like the ones for my Howse PHD, so I bought a set to have on hand. It turned out that they were slightly different, so I modified my auger to accept them. They have a much better design in the way that the auger dogs them, and I liked the idea of being able to buy replacements locally.

I got them at TSC.

I was looking here » Excavator Bucket Teeth | Ground Engaging Tools but not sure which ones fit or would fit the bucket, they seem reasonable on prices.

The problem I was looking at was the leverage the longer teeth would have. My little CK20S is strong, but I did not want to take it over its limits. Adding 6 inches of length could significantly reduce the cutting force when rolling the bucket back. My bucket teeth add about 2 1/2 inches of length to the bucket reducing the probable impact of longer ones, but adding sharp cutting points. I dug in clay and light rock last night for 2+ hours, and the teeth held up well.

I don't see why the teeth would be to large for the CK20 at all, what you have found are very lightweight and could probably use some gussets on the top of them to keep from being torn off, I have seen the big boys rip a tooth or two before with the mounts they have, or should I say -- have ripped a couple off in rock before.
I actually thought about using some 1/2" plate I have and making some from it. Might have to visit the local scrap yard and see what is available.
