Photo Identification Help

Identify Your Bucket Teeth by Photo

When a part number is missing or unreadable, clear photos of the tooth, adapter, locking area, markings, and dimensions can help narrow the possible tooth system.

Before taking photos

Clean and show the complete system

Remove heavy dirt and photograph both the tooth and the parts that control its fitment.

Tooth profile

Show the tip, body, side profile, pocket opening, and visible wear.

Adapter nose

Show the shape, seating surfaces, wear, damage, and tooth-to-adapter fit.

Locking system

Show the pin hole, pin, retainer, groove, and installation direction.

Six-photo checklist

Photos to prepare

Use bright, sharp, close images with the full component inside the frame.

01

Complete tooth — front view

Show the overall width, point, shoulders, and visible wear pattern.

02

Complete tooth — side view

Show the full length, side profile, pocket position, and lock location.

03

Tooth pocket and opening

Photograph the internal pocket geometry after removing dirt and loose material.

04

Adapter nose without the tooth

Show the complete nose, seating surfaces, pin hole, and any rounding or damage.

05

Pin, retainer, and locking area

Lay the parts beside the tooth and include the installed orientation when possible.

06

Markings and dimensions

Photograph all numbers and add a ruler or caliper for key measurements.

Improve identification quality

Make every photo easier to compare

Small changes in photo quality can prevent confusion between similar tooth systems.

Use a plain background

Place the part on a clean, contrasting surface with no other objects covering the edges.

Keep the camera square

Avoid extreme angles and wide-angle distortion when showing dimensions or profiles.

Add a scale reference

Place a ruler beside the part, but do not cover markings or critical geometry.

Include the machine context

Add machine brand, model, bucket type, application, quantity, and working material.
