When I ordered my crate tractor, the first thing to arrive was the Koyker 160 FEL. The FEL showed up 2 weeks after the initial order, The tractor followed three and a half long months later. I got tired of staring at the FEL just sitting there, so I had to do something. So here is my home made toot bar - First was to score some Fabco #F23 pin on teeth off of eBay. The auction was for 7 teeth, but they sent 9 instead ;D I took the bucket off the FEL and hauled it into the garage to work on it as the weather was the Pitt's. Since I had 9 teeth to work with, I figured why not use them all? First was to layout all the teeth and have them evenly spaced: Larry

After welding and painting, this is how it all turned out: The tooth bar was super easy to make, is easy to put on and take off which I often do for various tasks. I also added some hooks to the top of the bucket while I was at it. This was my very first Jinma tractor / FEL mod. I've had my old Ford for 26 years, so I'm not a virgin when it comes to tractors. I guess that almost makes me an "Old Timer" or is that an Alzheimer's? whatever HaHaHa. Larry
