Does anyone have experience installing a mechanical thumb on a Case 580D standard hoe. Are there any suppliers that are better than others? Is it safe to weld on the dipper tube? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I agree with Marlowe on the clamp on thumb. O made one the other day for a fella that the bucket pin also held the thumb. and the leg later cylinder was clamped to it. the dipper sticks on most Case hoes are Ductile Iron and thats not good to weld on. Marlowe what part of the country are you located?
