    mini digger ripper tooth

    Hi All

    The latest project I have just finished is a ripper tooth for my mini digger fitted with a Harford hitch. The main body, I was able to get water cut and then just a little bit of fettling to get everything to fit.
    The claw tooth was an Ebay purchase and was welded to a piece of plate so was ground off.
    The main body is 26mm plate and all other pieces are made from 10mm plate.
    The welded joints are all arc welded and hopefully built up strong enough for the forces that the claw will endure when using it.
