Here you can see that the bolt holes are square and this is the same way up as your cutting-edges. The counter sunk round holes will be on the other side. Hope this clears things up for you.
I've used this as an example only and not necessarily for your pan.

Is this any help.? Looking from the side along the cutting edges. #4 shows the centre edge in the lower position, #5 in the higher position, by virtue of the second set of bolt holes. See how the bevel on the bottom of the edge is the same orientation at the ground. Yours are the other way round to what's shown.

Also, just look at my previous post of the picture of the edges on my old Issacson. Edges have the most strength when the bottom row of holes is used. In the stinger configuration, the centre edge sacrifices strength because it will most likely break through the holes. In impact conditions( stones and rocky), the centre edge should be moved up to the lower set of holes for maximum strength and will also help to prevent bending the frog underneath. I agree that your edges seem to be made differently than most conventional edges

Yea that’s a clear picture and according to that mine are upside down

 

[southernman13]

I think there made the same they’re just upside down. Well maybe lol. But as I said before I don’t think the bolts will go in from the other side. I’ll definitely check it out shortly thanks to all for the info

As strange as it may seem that’s just the way mine is made. It looks like the classic case of tomato tomaatto to me. This is a pic of the other one. Same way and I can’t see much if any difference if it was flipped around. The way mine sits to the ground looks more natural to me idk. Plus like I said. The bolts will only go in from one side. It has a countersunk hole and definitely cannot be installed upside down. Also after closer inspection mine isn’t welded along the top it was just dirt I was seeing. Both pans are the same and neither one has a broken cutting edge it must be working. I’m not touching it till one breaks lol. Thanks again for looking.

Question though this pan isn’t as wide as tires on tractor. I can’t see the bottom when using it. Any tips on knowing when it starts to make contact with the ground other than seeing dirt in the bowl? Even then u wouldn’t know right away. I guess eventually get the feel of it but I was just wanting to know for being smooth and not gouging the ground. It’s a 9180 400hp Steiger it don’t feel like much behind it.

 

[southernman13]

I don’t have a clue when it comes to posting these pics lol

A bit further investigation would suggest your cutting-edges are for a wheel loader which bolt on underneath the bucket.

 

[southernman13]

Well that’s good to know if I need to replace any of them. Thanks

 

[56wrench]

Well, i thought of that too but the ones i changed on wheel loaders and excavators had the edges bolted to the bottom of the buckets with the bevel to the top and the bolt heads on the top of the bucket with the countersunk holes on the bottom of the edge otherwise you would wear off the bolt heads if they were underneath

 

[southernman13]

Yeah that makes sense. I’m gonna clean them up and see maybe of there’s a part number stamped in them anywhere. If there is or was it’s probably worn or on the underside lol

 

[Delmer]

The underside of those holes is flush? not the same countersunk hole as the top?

 

[southernman13]

Yep here’s the backside

That pic shows they can’t take a plow bolt the other way. What make are the pans. Maybe the mfr just built them like that. I don’t think I’d worry about orientation they’re on and tight just use em. Nothing moves dirt like a scraper in the right conditions

 

[southernman13]

Exactly what I said they been working all along. No issues whatsoever that I know about. I’ll use em till I can’t lol. They’re Prime Manufacturing pans. They’re no longer in business

 

[southernman13]

And I got a chance to play with it a little bit. I can see how to line up the top of the bowl with the wheel bracket and other places I can kinda tell where I’m at with the blades. Plus u can tell when they start digging even a little bit really. I’ve got a good bit of dirt to move it’ll be a fun experience

 

[56wrench]

Referring to my last post about the loader buckets, i should have said bolt heads on the bottom and the nuts on top of the bucket. oops i guess i'm losing it, just like my wife always reminds me

I’ve never seen cutting edges like yours on any towed scraper or motor scraper.They appear to have been fitted wrong.Perhaps that’s how things are done.I don’t like them.
Over the years,I’ve bought various cutting edges for my towed and motorised scrapers,and I do like having the center edges dropped.They are considerably more profitable to me that way.
On another note,I’ve tried various brands of edges too.Some are really quite thick,yet I prefere the slimmer genuine Cat edges on my bowels.They seem to stay sharper and load easier.It could be my imagination,but it puts beer in my glass.
These days,I only buy Cat edges for scraper bowls.

 

[southernman13]

Sorry you don’t like them I’m just gonna run them they seem to have been working properly as they are. I don’t think the blades realize they’re on upside down lol
