my 643 came with a 6' snow bucket. it has a weld on cutting edge, and it's worn out. can i drill holes and install the bolt on style or do i have to cut it off and reweld?
i think the cutting edge is squared from underneath, and the threaded end sticks up. at least thats how mine is.I dont know why you would have to cut off the old weld, its time tested if it's wore down. A lot less work to simply drill holes. But a new cutting edge usually comes with carriage bolts, not sure how you intend on squaring the holes. I'm about to start a similar project. My 8' snow bucket also has a welded on cutting edge. And I'm going to weld a worn out cutting edge from a road grader onto the existing edge. The wore out edge is about the same size as a new bobcat cutting edge but I got it free at work.
Your correct, the nuts indeed do stick up, wasn't thinking (again).i think the cutting edge is squared from underneath, and the threaded end sticks up. at least thats how mine is.
Cutting edges are very hard, good luck drilling through them, I use a torch and its still hard to cut.Your correct, the nuts indeed do stick up, wasn't thinking (again).
thats what i'm concerned about. i have a portable magnetic drill press, but that isn't going to help with dull bits hahaha.Cutting edges are very hard, good luck drilling through them, I use a torch and its still hard to cut.
