spare parts advice please

[scottrac]

Hi,advice needed please
giving the skid steer bucket brush a birthday and need a bolt on cutting edge and brushes that are 7" internal diameter
Tried agri link and they only do 5" brushes and weld on cutting edges.
Before I turn to google and get ripped off I wanted to ask you for your advice please?
Thanks in advance

I can't remember what size ours was now but I don't think it was a common one. Local spaldings rep did a good price.

Don't forget spacers.

do you need to replace all the spacers aswell?

depends what state they are in really! If the zinc coating is shot and theyhave gone soft then, yes I would. Try having a poke with a screwdriver. I got away with replacing maybe 7 or 8 on a 7'6" brush but I have a feeling I should have done most of not all. They also tend to crush a little as you tighten up the brushes and the old ones might give up a little too easy....... I ended up using an old brush or two as extra spacers...... come to think of it, perhaps that's the trick and you don't need spacers at all...... hmmm.

The only place you need to go for bucket edges is John Moore! He supplies most of the uk bucket manufacturers

HB500 is the hard stuff
