Backhoe Bucket teeth repair

[Metsaman]

My backhoe bucket teeth are too short and worn out, repair them by welding extra steel on them.

Why not get some adapters so you can just replace the teeth? Slipon teeth will probably last longer too.

I think about that option too but then I need make bucket stronger... Other way is add monoblock teeth, those you add on bucket by bolts. .

The teeth you added, are they of a hard alloy of steel? What welding rod were you using? Was it a 7018 welding rod?

I hope your boom repairs are strong. I am thinking your bucket will hold more, weigh more, and with the length of the teeth, create more stress on the boom.

That steel is from grader so I think that it is hardener, I use normal 48 rods.

That repair is not give much more weigt but I think because this teeths penetrates much easier in the ground My backhoe digs little bit easier.

If you are using grader blades as your steel source it will be hard to get welds that don't end up cracking. That type of steel is high in carbon and not easily welded. One trick to try is heating the steel with a torch to a high temp as you weld. I'm not sure what 48 rod is but I use 7018 for just about everything.

Will see how this repair work in future...

I just check and that 48 category means same than 7018.

It looked like a 7018 in the video..

Should be using Direct current (D.C.) with that rod. Preheating as was suggested, along with a slow cool down will help prevent stress in the weld as well. Peening with a hammer while the weld cools will help as well.

Good luck. Looks like you get a lot of good use out of your backhoe!!
