I was looking for a toothbar for my 73'' hd john deere bucket
on my 460 loader, where and how much do they run?

Sam,

Check out Carver Equipment at www.carverequipment.com. Steve has all the information you're looking for with specs, graphics, and prices. He also appears to have a good reputation with TBNers on price and service.

I want to order a toothbar but I have a question as to the measurements. On my bucket(Kubota) what is the measurements that are required? How close are the toothbars made as far as clearance? There is a pie shape in the front lower cornors that can vary from 59 1/4 (inside) to 58 1/2 (outside) depending as to where the measurement is taken. Which one do they require?

The interior measurement is important in that it allows the bolts to hold the bar from coming off particularly when going in reverse. The actual mechanism for holding the bar onto the bucket while digging is the front lip of the bucket. The tooth bar will slide over this lip at each tooth and hold it tightly in place, sort of like a slip-on or wedge. The width will be slightly less then the inside width of the bucket so it can be put on or taken off without to much effort. It will extend into the bucket where it bolts on about 5" or so. Measure the narrowest point back to there and get that. Its not critical to get it any closer then about 1/8", Rat...

On my bucket at the lower cornors(sides) there is a wedge(indent) that is about 1 1/2" high by 5" long. I take it that I do not measure into this wedge. I measure outside of this area which will give me a smaller measurement.

measure the interior width of your bucket, about 4 or 5 in. in from the cutting edge.this should be what u need for a proper fit.

Sam,

I got mine from K.C. Canary-Fultonville. I had it at my house within three weeks.

Make sure your measurements are good. Just like working with wood, measure twice.

I somehow screwed up my measurements and the toothbar was about 3/4 inches shorter than I needed. So I had to have shims made up to make up the difference. Not a big deal, but an inconvenience.

Tinmann, I recently installed a toothbar from Carvers on my LA302 bucket. Perhaps the attached picture will illustrate where to measure.

Gosh, Terry, how'd you screw up like that?/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif I did exactly the opposite, had mine cut down a bit, but measured just a tiny bit off, and now I guess you could say it's a "perfect" fit; so darned tight I have to use a hammer to get it on or off./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Sams,

This thread is timely. Originally, I called Carver for a toothbar. They called back quickly and wanted me to measure the inside of my bucket. But I remembered a thread here that suggested the bucket lip measurement was equally important.

I was concerned that lip size didn't appear to be an issue. So, I then called John Millers' boys (Mark at K.C. Canary-Fultonville, Inc.) and they knew my bucket and said they'd measure it for me.

I received my bar on valentines day, 6 days after ordering. I just test mounted it yesterday afternoon. I used a big hammer to get the tooth bar on and it is so solidly mounted, because of the lip "fit", I think I could actually do things without bolts! It fits my bucket lip perfectly, but the inner bold mounts have about 1/2 inch play. I'll shim this in with some extra washers.

I paid 260.00 and 14.90 shipping.

Buck

Wal, Thanks for the pictures for the measurements. You can see the "indent" that I was refering to in the bucket that you have. Guess they don't matter by the pictures. I will measure outside of them.

Bird,

I guess my cypering was a little off that day!! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif One of those senior moments we encounter now and then.... a little touch of "oldtimers" disease.... other epithets probably exist - but unknown or forgotten at this time. Well, there I go again. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I planned on giving myself a little breathing room by subtracting off an 1/8" per side (1/4" total) and, well, the rest is history.... /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Terry, you measure too short and I measure too long. Reckon if we got together we could get it right?/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Those senior moments seem to be coming closer together for me./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

 

[TerryinMD]

Bird,

True.... True..... sad but true. /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

However, at least we can keep our sense of humor about it. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

wal excellent photo, could be a picture of mine, it is so close.

 

[frank_f15]

the cutting edge (lip) is what actually takes the stress when digging or using toothbar. the bolts just basically hold it there.

 

[frank_f15]

can relate to the senior moments! i have always been a little short/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gifbut then we have those darn texans (bird) bragging about being to long./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif sorry bird could not resist!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.
