The Scrap Grapple Bucket can be equipped with an
optional reversible 3/4” x 8” cutting edge. See parts
list for length and part number for your model.
1. Raise the Scrap Grapple Bucket about 10” - 12”.
2. place a 6” x 6” block under both ends of the bucket
about 10” behind the welded leading edge of the
bucket. Then lower the bucket so it rests securely
on the blocks.
3. place two smaller blocks under the cutting edge so
when the cutting edge is loose from the bucket it
doesn’t fall on the ground. (These blocks will also
support the cutting edge when bolting it back on
the bucket).
NOTE: Do not block the machine any higher than necessary
to remove or install the cutting edge.
4. Remove the 3/4” hex nuts and plow bolts that secure
the cutting edge to the bucket. Turn the cutting
edge end for end and use the new edge or replace
it if both edges have been used.
5. Attach the cutting edge to the scrap bucket and
secure with the plow bolts and hex nuts previously
removed.
NOTE: If the plow bolts or hex nuts are worn, replace with
new ones.
6. Torque the hex nuts to specifications given in bolt
torque chart, located in the back.
