You're looking for Part Numbers for the bolt-on GET, right.?

According to the system 5K-5385 Bucket As is a spade-edge rock bucket with a 6K-5288 Cutting edge. See attached.

9K-1619 Base Edge appears to be designed for 3-bolt adapters and (I assume) pin-on tips. I wouldn't have though it would have bolt-on cutting edges with that pattern.
Are your bolt holes in that triangular pattern.?

Not sure how close your nearest Cat dealer is, guessing Milton Cat? But might be worth seeing if they can have a, I believe they call them these days, PSR? stop out and look at the bucket.

Just thinking that with a machine of that vintage expecting something like bucket cutting edge to be original could be dangerous. No telling what has been done to the bucket over the years, a torch and welder and all bets are off!

Yes GET bolt on is what I'm looking for. Im going to find my paper copy of one source book and take some pictures and measurements of what i got today.
Did the 980b have option for straight edge with Bolt on GET? THANKS GUYS if i don't come up with something I'll get a sales rep out.

That's what the illustration in Post #3 above shows. Right now I can't find a link between a bucket with that P/N edge and the P/N of the bolt-on adapters, locks, & tips but there has to be one out there somewhere.
If you can post up the measurements shown in the illustration below I'll have a dig in my GET book.

This is what I'm working with 2 bolt shanks with the wear plates in-between is what it was originally designed for i figure now looking at it. I'll get a picture of corners and measurements later today

Something like this then .............


Can you get the measurements:-
1. Between the bolt hole centres for the adapters.
2. Between the bolt hole centres for the wear plates between the adapters
3. Bolt hole diameter - I assume they are all the same.
