Photo Identification Help
Identify Your Bucket Teeth by Photo
Not sure which bucket teeth fit your machine? If the part number is missing, worn, or difficult to read, clear photos can help narrow down the possible bucket tooth system, adapter style, pin type, and retainer arrangement.
Send Photos for HelpWhen Photo Identification Can Help
Photo identification is useful when part numbers are missing, adapter styles are unclear, or the replacement tooth does not fit correctly.
Missing Part Number
The old tooth is worn, the number is unreadable, or only partial markings are visible.
Unclear Adapter Style
The adapter nose, pocket shape, or locking area needs to be checked before choosing replacement teeth.
Fitment Problem
New teeth feel loose, pins do not match, or the retainer does not lock correctly.
Photos to Prepare
Clear photos from different angles make it easier to review the tooth system and avoid wrong replacement choices.
Front View
Show the full tooth shape, including the tip, body, side edges, and overall profile.
Side View
Show the tooth length, side profile, pocket shape, and visible wear pattern.
Adapter Nose
Take a close-up of the adapter nose after removing the tooth if possible.
Pin & Retainer Area
Show the pin hole, locking groove, retainer position, and locking parts.
Pocket or Bottom Area
Show how the tooth seats on the adapter and whether the pocket shape is visible.
Part Numbers or Markings
Take close-up photos of any stamped, cast, or partially visible numbers.
Information to Send with Photos
Photos work best when combined with machine and jobsite information.
- Machine brand and machine model
- Bucket type and application
- Part number if available
- Quantity needed
- Tooth, adapter, pin, or retainer problem
- Working condition, such as digging, quarry, mining, loading, trenching, or construction work
- Country or region if sourcing support is needed
Common Problems Photo Identification Can Help Check
Many bucket tooth issues are caused by checking the tooth alone instead of checking the full tooth system.
Unknown Bucket Tooth Type
Photos can help compare the tooth shape, pocket area, locking system, and adapter style.
Loose Bucket Tooth Fitment
Loose fitment may be caused by adapter wear, incorrect tooth system selection, pin issues, or poor seating.
Wrong Pins or Retainers
A similar-looking tooth may use a different locking system, pin style, or retainer arrangement.
Worn Adapter Nose
If the adapter nose is worn, new teeth may still feel loose even when the tooth looks correct.
