BACKHOE MAINTENANCE AS REQUIREDBucket Teeth - Replace

Backhoe bucket teeth require little or no maintenance. Tooth points are replaceable if they become worn or broken.

The tooth point can be removed by hammering at point (A) on tooth point or driving a chisel at point (B) between the tooth point box section and the tooth shank. Anchor new tooth point to tooth shank by peening at location shown.

Maintenance of the digging chain should include the following:

Maintain digging chain tension - overtightening the digging chain will cause unnecessary wear. Excessive slack will cause poor cutter efficiency.

Keep digging drive sprocket, auger drive sprocket, and end idler in-line.

Keep cutters in good condition. Broken or badly worn cutters can shorten chain life.
