The tooth adapter is the interface between your bucket base and your digging teeth — and a worn adapter causes tooth rocking, accelerated nose wear, and eventually tooth loss. This adapter-18mm ad5kc3 is manufactured to OEM nose geometry and mounting specification for correct tooth retention.

Why Choose This Adapter-18mm AD5KC3
– Nose geometry machined to OEM profile for correct tooth engagement and lock retention
– Mounting weld preparation or bolt hole pattern matched to OEM bucket base configuration
– Compatible with OEM tooth lock systems — no modification to retainer hardware required

Heavy-Duty Construction
This adapter-18mm ad5kc3 is manufactured using high-alloy wear steel at 350–400 BHN for correct balance of weld-ability and wear resistance. Through-hardened nose for wear resistance; weld zone maintained at correct hardness for installation. OEM-matched shank dimensions for correct tooth socket fit. Designed to withstand vibration, impact loads, and harsh operating environments commonly found in construction, quarry, mining, and earthmoving applications. Precision manufacturing helps ensure correct fitment and long service life.
