7107324 Double Strap Bucket Tooth Adapter Bobcat Style Bolt-On Adapter

1. Product Overview:

The 7107324 Bucket Tooth Adapter is a highly durable, premium-grade Ground Engaging Tool (G.E.T.) .Designed specifically to fit buckets with a 3/4-inch lip thickness, the 7107324 adapter guarantees a snug, flush fit that minimizes bucket wear and structural fatigue.

Engineered as a direct aftermarket replacement for Bobcat-style and H&L tooth systems, this double-strap, bolt-on adapter seamlessly upgrades smooth bucket cutting edges into highly aggressive digging machines.

Whether you are breaking through frost, prying up hardpan, or trenching in rocky terrain, this adapter acts as the ultimate foundation for your bucket teeth, keeping your equipment running longer with less downtime.

3. Key Features

• Dual-Installation Flexibility: While pre-drilled for a fast and convenient bolt-on installation, the cast-steel material is fully weldable. This gives operators the choice between easy field replacements (bolt-on) or maximum permanent durability (weld-on).
• Double Strap Design: The two-leg strap securely hugs both the top and bottom of the bucket lip. This distributes breakout forces evenly across the bucket’s cutting edge, preventing lip bending and stress fractures.
• Flush Bottom Profile: Engineered to sit flush with the bottom of the bucket, ensuring a smooth grade and reducing drag as the bucket slides across the ground.
• Exceptional Wear Resistance: Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, offering prolonged resistance to abrasion and high-impact shocks.

4. Manufacturing Process

The 7107324 adapters are born from a rigorous precision casting and forging process.

1. Alloy Selection: We start with a proprietary blend of high-carbon steel enriched with chromium and molybdenum for superior toughness.
2. Precision Casting: The molten steel is poured into highly accurate molds to ensure perfect bolt-hole alignment and flawless internal dimensions for the tooth seat.
3. Heat Treatment: Once cast, the adapters undergo a multi-stage quenching and tempering process. This hardens the exterior to resist abrasive wear from sand and stone while leaving the core ductile enough to absorb high-impact shock loads without snapping.

5. Applications

The 7107324 adapter is highly versatile and frequently used across a wide range of light-to-medium earthmoving equipment:

1. Machine Types: Skid Steer Loaders, Mini Excavators, Compact Track Loaders (CTL), and Backhoes.
2. Compatible Brands: Direct fit for Bobcat, but highly adaptable to Caterpillar, Case, John Deere, Kubota, JCB, and Takeuchi buckets (provided the bucket has a 3/4″ lip).
3. Working Environments: Ideal for general utility construction, trenching, landscaping, agricultural work, and penetrating shale, clay, or rocky soils.

6. Information on Accessories

To complete your bucket setup, the 7107324 adapter requires specific mating components.

1. Compatible Bucket Teeth: This adapter accepts the entire Bobcat 6737325 Series of flex-pin teeth. Common tooth part numbers include 6737325 (Standard Dirt), 7107319 (Long Penetration), 7102097, 7107320, and 7107321.
2. Hardware Required (Bolt-on): Requires quantity two (2) of 1/2″ x 2-1/4″ Grade 8 Hex Cap Bolts and corresponding lock nuts per adapter.
3. Pins Required: Standard flex pins—part numbers 6737326 or 23FP.

(Note: For a complete pre-assembled kit including the adapter, tooth, and hardware, buyers should look for assembly part number 7107330).

7. Important Considerations for Buyers

1. Measure Your Bucket Lip: The most common mistake buyers make is ordering the wrong lip size. Measure the thickness of your bucket’s cutting edge. This adapter is strictly designed for 3/4″ lips. If your lip is 1″ or 1/2″, this adapter will not fit properly and may shear under pressure.
2. Verify Hole Spacing: If you are bolting this onto an existing cutting edge without drilling new holes, take a caliper and measure your current hole spacing. It must be exactly 1.75 inches from the center of one hole to the center of the next.
3. Clearance: Ensure your bucket does not have a pre-existing weld-on edge that will interfere with the bottom strap of the adapter.

8. Common Industry / Buyer FAQs

Q1: Can I weld the 7107324 adapter instead of bolting it?
A: Yes! While it is designed as a bolt-on adapter for quick, in-field replacement, the high-carbon cast steel is highly weldable. Many operators choose to weld them on for permanent, heavy-duty applications.

Q2: Do these adapters come with the mounting bolts and nuts?
A: Generally, no. The 7107324 is sold as the bare adapter casting. Mounting bolts, flex pins, and bucket teeth are sold separately unless you are purchasing a bundled “Assembly Kit” (like the 7107330).

Q3: How do I remove a stubborn flex pin from this adapter?
A: Flex pins are held in by tension. To remove an old tooth from the 7107324 adapter, use a standard pin punch tool and a heavy hammer to drive the pin out from the side. Always wear safety goggles, as metal fragments can chip during heavy hammering.

Q4: Will this fit my John Deere or Kubota bucket?
A: Yes, it is brand-agnostic. As long as your John Deere, Kubota, or other brand bucket has a flat, 3/4-inch thick cutting edge and you drill the holes at a 1.75-inch center-to-center spread (or choose to weld it), this adapter will work perfectly.
