6. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How do I know if my machine uses 156 series bucket teeth?
A: Measure the inside width of your worn tooth pocket or adapter nose. 156 series teeth have a 1-5/8 inch inside pocket width and secure horizontally with a 3/8-inch roll pin.
Q2: What is the difference between X156 Standard and X156L Long teeth?
A: The X156 standard tooth offers balanced strength for general digging. The X156L features extra wear material at the tip for extended service life in abrasive soils.
Q3: How are 156 bucket teeth replaced?
A: Align the tooth over the adapter shank, insert the P156 roll pin into the center hole, and tap the pin flush using a hammer or punch.
