ABSTRACT:
An excavating bucket attachment assembly comprises a pair of side arms and a tooth-mounting box mountable to an excavating bucket pivot pin without removing either the pivot pin or an excavating bucket to which the pivot pin is attached, and at least one tooth mounted in the tooth-mounting box. The tooth-mounting box comprises a transverse member providing a teeth-mounting channel that extends between the side arms with the side arms attached to the transverse member and closing off the channel at opposite ends thereof. A tooth retaining pin removably-extends through the tooth and through the side arms for retaining the tooth in the channel. The assembly may includes a plurality of clamping teeth, each mounted in the box by the retaining pin, and includes spacers located between adjacent teeth, the retaining pin extending through the spacers to hold the spacers between the teeth. Alternately, the assembly may include a ripping tooth mounted in the box by the retaining pin. The assembly also includes a pair of collars constructed to fit over ends of the pivot pin with the pivot pin protruding beyond the collars. The side arms are each provided with a forked end defining a slot that may be inserted over the ends of the pivot pin adjacent to one of the collars and fastened thereto.
