You can fill the gaps but it makes it more difficult to remove the pins on the teeth. <img src="http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg301/LANDTEKK/HYDRO%20LINKAGE/Bobcat435cuttingedge6Large.jpg?t=1237591766" alt="Bobcat435cuttingedge6Large.jpg picture by LANDTEKK" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 640px; height: 480px" /> Sorry for the bad pic. I added another cutting edge like the previous by just welding to old edge. I thought about cutting the old plate off but that's a lot more work and the wide bucket needs all the strength it can get. I dig a lot of hard ground and these buckets are tough. I expect to get the same amount of time out of this one. The edge is extended beyond teeth about 2". Scott</blockquote>
