MMM What is Bucket Teeth?

You probably already know about our mini excavator that clears the snow away and lifts engines and loads of other heavy work. Well up until now I had no idea that a bucket was anything else but something to out water in. It seems that these things on the end of our excavator is called a bucket, which seems totally obvious now and the small things sticking out are called bucket teeth. The bad news is that these are now worn down, the good news is you can buy bucket teeth separately rather than replacing the whole bucket.

This is where we are now, coming into spring and trying to lift an engine from he yard in to the garage and of course one of the bucket teeth decide enough was enough and snapped. After a bit of a panic we found out that this was not big deal to replace just like the UK rubber tracks we had done late last year.

Give me a car and I know the bits and pieces but as soon as you move out of this area, the brain does not kick in as quick. Again we found delivery quicker than we get parts from our auto-factors, seems we are in the wrong business. An update of everything else we do in the garage is well overdue and I can’t blame the weather now as it has cleared up ages ago. It is also not that busy, so maybe the salvage projects will start again, lets see an I  will try top post again soon.
