Fitment Style

To find out what style of bucket teeth you currently have, you need to find the part number. This is normally on the surface of the tooth, in the interior wall or rear edge of the tooth pocket. If you cannot find the part number, you can work it out by the style of the adapter and/or pin and retainer system. Is it a side pin, centre pin or top pin?

Fitment Size

In theory, the fitment size is the same as the machine size. This may not be the case if the bucket is not designed for that specific machine size. Check out this chart to see the fitment styles with the correct machine size and fitment size.

Pin & Retainer Size

The best way to determine your fitment size is to measure the pins and retainers. These then to be manufactured with more precise measurements than the teeth themselves.

Tooth Pocket Size

Tooth Pocket Size

Another way to work out the size of the teeth you have is measuring the pocket opening. The pocket area is where it fits onto the adaptor on the bucket. This is a good option to take measurements from as it has minimal wear during the life of the bucket tooth.
