One of the many little improvement projects that go on constantly is better wear and maintenance on the big shovel teeth. The large bucket has seven replaceable teeth to help dig into the loose, blasted rock. Each of these teeth (pictured in blue) are attached to an adapter (yellow) and are changed out approximately monthly due to wear. The adaptors stay on (most of the time anyway) the bucket itself and provide for a relatively easy switch out for new teeth.

Hope my teeth replacement lasts longer than a month.
