DIY Tooth Bar for Compact Tractors

[@HydroArc]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Good advice on using teeth with top dowels, rather than side ones. I did not think of that. good video. And thanks for the link for the teeth.

[@allenmeinhold7038]

What a great idea,I would much rather have your tooth bar than a store bought one. Great job Sir! Butch Ashland Ohio

[@appalachiandiy2415]

Thanks!

[@troyd-motorsport9933]

Thats a pretty cool setup, saves drilling 2 holes per tooth in your bucket! Thanks for the great video!

[@appalachiandiy2415]

absolutely! only two bolts holding on the entire bar.

[@1956arc]

Nice welding!

[@appalachiandiy2415]

Thank you!

[@muddybuttjenkins2392]

Drill bit trick is awesome. Kinda mad I didn’t think of it. Used it already in the shop.

[@appalachiandiy2415]

Yea! otherwise its soo difficult to measure how thick the plate needs to be

[@MannistoCay]

Excellent video, I think I have a new project for my LX. Cheers

[@roccoelleto9900]

Thanks for the great video. Been debating between diy like you built or a piranha. Nice welds too.

[@appalachiandiy2415]

Thank you. I like the DIY bar because of the tooth length and replacability. the Piranha's are nice though

[@mechanicforlife9468]

Great job my friend!

[@garyteague9555]

Good job but advice from a pro welder , you should have started from the front of the tooth and not left crater in the front where all the pressure is gonna be , did this hold or did they start cracking where the crater was ? I’d say with how the tooth went on will help you with the crater not breaking

[@TomYouAreDoingItWrong]

I REALLY need to learn to weld...

[@appalachiandiy2415]

It opens so many possibilities! I would definitely recommend you learn.

Great info brother

Appreciate it!

Great video, thank you! Would you please link where you bought the teeth. TYIA.

[@appalachiandiy2415]

Yep, I just updated the description with a link

[@redneckmini14]

Wish I knew how to weld.

[@appalachiandiy2415]

Its probably one of the handiest skills to have. Best advice I can give you is go buy a used/cheap welder and watch some youtube. Formal training is great too if you have a tech school near you

[@michaelc9128]

@@appalachiandiy2415 if one does not know how to weld most areas might have a mobile welding guy that can help a person out or take the loader bucket off the tractor and take it to a local welder

[@joelalleman9591]

what is a good supplier for the shanks and teeth for this build ?? I would like to build one of these for my tractor .

[@appalachiandiy2415]

I got mine off amazon. Check the discription below

[@BeaglerBassFishingOutdoors]

Price of that vs buying a prebuilt one?

[@appalachiandiy2415]

All depends on how cheap you can get the teeth. Thats the most expensive part. Most store bought ones dont have as big of teeth either.

[@daddio7249]

Titan Attachments has kits, look on Amazon. Unless you have a local source flat bar is difficult to find. I got a 48"x2"x.20" from Amazon but my John Deere's bucket is 53". They only had one so the next closest thing was a 36"x3"x.12". I got a set of five mini-excavator shanks and teeth. I placed the 2" on the cutting bar of the bucket and tapped the shanks on, they fit perfectly. I welded the shanks on the 48" bar and cut the correct length pieces of 3" to extend the bar to 53" and make the bolt on ears. I welded those on and the used a cobalt step bit to drill two mounting holes on each side. My 23 hp tractor is not powerful enough to damage the bar. The Titan kit comes with a thicker bar and precut mounts. Price is about what I paid.

[@Hiperf]

Thanks for the video. I have been debating on making my own. How easy is it to remove? Is there anything you need to watch out for not to bind so you can get it back off?

[@appalachiandiy2415]

I made mine tight. Could have made it with 1/8 or 1/16th less in bar stock thickness. Other than that not really

[@MasonrywithAL]

Where did you get the 5/16" steel flat bar from ? Thanks

[@appalachiandiy2415]

From a fab welding shop. T D Fabrication. Clearfield, PA
