Case 580 dirt teeth

Hello, I have an old Case 580 CK backhoe. It is in pretty good shape, but it does not do too good of a job scraping topsoil with the loader bucket. Very often, the rear tires simply spin, and there is no cutting action of the bucket's leading edge. I have heard about putting tooth bars on the bucket. Is this a good solution?

Secondly, would anybody in the Ohio area have an appropriate loader bucket that is for sale that I could weld permanent teeth onto the bucket?

Thank you - Greg

Take it easy scraping that topsoil with your old 580. Last summer my father was scraping topsoil with my 1973 580B CK and without teeth on the loader it was working well, until he hit a large unseen rock-and stopped it dead. Stripped and chewed the teeth right off the ring and pinion gears. Made sounds I still have nightmares about... Took me weeks working on it between everything else I was doing to split the old Case and replace the gears, but saved about $8000 in labour costs. Remember that a 580B CK is no dozer, and it will save you tons, but welding on teeth would definitely help. I've never split any other machines, but are they all made to keep you out of their insides??? Hidden bolts, 12-point bolts deep in recesses, etc...all kinds which seemed to be placed only to make repair more difficult.

Sounds like I shouldn't consider it to be a bad thing when I lose traction, instead of ruining the gears! The CK I have is about a '68 or '69. It doesn't take much to stop it, or at least slow it down quite a bit.
