Wear Parts

For teeth and cutting edges do you use original manufacturer replacements or another type?

Do you use something different? (like tiger teeth etc)

Do you beef up buckets beyond stock when new or when rebuilding?

Do you use hardfacing build up?

Any other techniques?

We ususally use the manufacturers teeth and cutting edges. There is a place that sells teeth that are pretty damn hard and wear very well. I can't remember what brand they are. We don't touch new buckets. When they need fixing, we will beef them up with plates and hardface them. We recently just hardfaced the shanks on our 315C. Ground them down so the teeth would fit tighter.

Original, When rebuilding, and the guy at Tradon told me to much hardfacing is bad for the metal ( hey what do I know, I'm not a welder ) we were getting alot of scalping on the cutting edge between the teeth so he welded in some mini teeth between the reg. teeth, looks bitchin!
