I am calling them teeth, I think everyone knows what I am speaking of and please correct me with the correct name.
This is new box blade we purchased to drag the road. It is red dirt with some rocks mixed in. One of the teeth will not let down, the pin comes out where the bar is connect the BB and the weld comes over to the hole. I feel sure I can grind it down (only need very little) to where the pin can come out and adjust the height. But since it could not I just left it in the same place when I lowered the others. Then at end of day Saturday I noticed the difference in it and the others that had be lowered down all the way. They wore a good bit, if you look at the back you can see the tooth is now even with the "bar" that it is attached to. These have what looks like a pin holding them to the bar, so I am guessing they are replaceable ?
If I do not replace them will it eat away the bar it is attached to or is it a harder steel. This seems to be really fast wear to me. I have maybe 25 hours on them... is this normal wear?
the pictures have a shadow but I think you can see what I am talking about.
Thanks
Michael
