Backhoe Thumb - Weld-On

When the thumb is not in use, it can be folded up or even removed by simply removing the hitch pin (the bracket will remain on you boom). We mask the plate to be welded so you do not have to remove the powder coating before welding. These are very easy to install. Simply clamp it to your dipstick then tack it in place. Once tacked in place check to make sure you do not have any interference with your bucket or boom (stow position allows complete rotation of your bucket). Then go back and run your weld bead.
