Chucky Bars?

[VeePlow]

Everyone knows we all have our own terms for gear. Just had a guys call in talking about excavator bucket chucky bars.... anybody got any ideas? Best I can think is maybe a piece of plate welded across the teeth?

 

[finaldrive]

maybe a ripper shank..?

In Australia 'chocky bars' are the square wear bars you weld into high wear areas like crushers and conveyor transfer points. Sounds like maybe they are talking about the wears pads on the bottom and corners of the bucket.

Just so long as we are talking about metal bars....not the type of bars that some grader operators might frequent.....

and I went down to the small engine shop the other day to get some parts for the 16" cut off saw. I told the guy behind the counter I needed an air filter for Dorothy....he obviously wasn't a Wiggles fan.

Aha! Man .. gotta love the internet. Must be because they look like chocolate bars... I'm used to calling this type of thing wear plates or wear tiles... I'll be darned... chocky bars...

Thanks guys.

Come on stock!............... Its obviously an old ( dinosaur) piece of plant that the guy behind the counter, knowing Squizzy and all his plant, would have known straight away which bit of junk, sorry plant needed a new filter.

Going back to steel fixers, I know them as Mars bars, for under the steel.

Australian English

Construction Saw = Dinosaur = Dorothy....its elementary really

You can't have a piece of kit and not have a proper name for it:cool2

Round our worksites a crow bar is a "Russell" or a "Sheryl" and a small pry bar is a "Barnesy"
