MAINTENANCE
BUCKET TOOTH POINTS
Bucket tooth points are self-sharpening and will require
little attention. However, points can be replaced when they
become badly worn or broken.
Remove point from welded tooth shank by hammering at
“A” on tooth point or by driving a chisel at “B”, just between
tooth point box section and tooth shank. Install new point
and anchor it to shank by peening at location shown.
It a tooth shank breaks off, becoming lost or damaged so
that is cannot hold a tooth point, a new shank should be
welded to bucket.
TIGHTENING NUTS AND BOLTS
Periodically check to be sure all bolts and nuts are tight
(See Torque Chart).
Check all pivot pins for cotter pins, washers and retainers.
If any are missing, replace them.
LUBRICATION
Economical and efficient operation of backhoe is
dependent upon regular and proper lubrication of all
moving parts with a quality lubricant.
All parts provided with grease fittings should be lubricated
with a good quality chassis lube type grease. If any grease
fittings are missing, replace them immediately. Clean all
fittings thoroughly before using grease gun.
Lubricate all 20 grease fittings at least twice daily (See
Lubrication Chart for locations), once at the beginning of
operation and again approximately half way through the
work day. Grease hourly any joints that operate in water.
Control valve handle linkage should be oiled with SAE 30
oil.
