2. Key Features
Superior Wear Resistance & Toughness:
Cast from high-strength alloy steel and subjected to strict heat treatment. This ensures high hardness to resist abrasion while maintaining excellent impact toughness to prevent breakage in rocky conditions.
Optimized Penetration Angle:
The streamlined profile reduces digging resistance, improving fuel efficiency and material payload capacity.
Reinforced Wear Zones:
Extra material thickness in critical high-wear areas provides long-lasting side protection.
3. Manufacturing Process
This side cutter is manufactured utilizing our advanced Lost-wax casting process. This precision investment casting method guarantees exceptional dimensional accuracy and a superior surface finish straight from the mold. The bolt holes and mounting surfaces are cast with exact precision, ensuring a perfect, hassle-free installation.
4. Applications
- Widely used in General Purpose and Heavy-Duty excavator buckets.
- Compatible with earthmoving machinery adopting ESCO, John Deere, and other standard hole patterns.
- Ideal for demanding working conditions such as mining, quarrying, construction demolition, and heavy agricultural trenching.
5. Matched Parts & Accessories
The CE17748R3 features a standard 3-Bolt mounting pattern. For a secure and reliable installation, we recommend pairing it with the following hardware:
- Matching Left Side Cutter: CE17748L3 (CE17748-3L)
- Mounting Bolts: 7/8″ x 3-1/2″ Plow Bolts (e.g., Part No. 09H1772 or PB875350)
- Mounting Nuts: 7/8″ Hexagonal Nuts (e.g., Part No. 14H1077)
- Washers: Lock Washers (e.g., Part No. 12H245)
6. Purchasing Precautions
- Verify Left vs. Right: The “R” in CE17748R3 denotes the Right-hand side. We highly recommend purchasing and replacing side cutters in pairs (adding the L3) to maintain balanced bucket wear and performance.
- Bolt Hole Spacing & Sizing: Double-check your bucket’s side plate hole pattern to ensure it matches the 3-bolt layout, and ensure you have the correct 7/8″ fasteners ready.
- Working Conditions: If your equipment operates in extremely abrasive rock or mining environments, please let us know during your inquiry so we can discuss specific material hardness upgrades.
