Takeuchi TB135 TB138 TB235 TB240 HYDRAULIC MINI EXCAVATOR THUMB GRAPPLE CLAMP

Description

Showtime Fabrication is pleased to offer this direct pin-on hydraulic thumb kit to fit YOUR Takeuchi mini excavator.
This specific item will fit Takeuchi TB035, TB135, TB138, TB235, and TB240 models without a factory cylinder mount and using
the factory TAG quick coupler.  It will arrive in a flat black finish
.
If you do not use the TAG system, have a different coupler, direct pin-on bucket, or don't know what you have, please get in touch with us to get you the right thumb that fits perfect.  If you have a different model excavator, please see our other listings or contact us.  All of our thumbs are backed by a 1 year warranty so buy with confidence knowing you are getting a high quality attachment that will stand up to your abuse.
This is a complete thumb kit including USA hoses sleeved in abrasive resistant socks with high quality CEJN flat faced couplers to fit the factory auxiliary hydraulic lines which come down the stick,
no trips to the hardware store.
Shipping to the lower 48 is also included.  Please contact us for a quote on international or non-contiguous US shipping.
This specific
thumb measures
28" long x 13" wide and features two 3/4" thick AR400 steel tines which are CNC cut and specifically designed for grabbing rocks, brush, stumps, and more.  We use our custom USA made 3000psi welded hydraulic cylinder with an induction hardened, chrome plated 1-1/2" rod, to fit into the supplied cylinder mount which will need to be welded onto your machine.  These cylinders are designed to run up to 3000psi, tested at 4500psi.
Please let us know if there is a factory cylinder mount on your machine already as we have a different thumb available if you'd like to utilize the factory mount.
The hydraulic cylinder also utilizes a hardline from the front port to the base so that the hoses connect out of harms way, and finally we install replaceable bushings in the cylinder crosstubes for easy future maintenance.  The cylinders are also fully rebuildable and utilize standard components.  These are fully welded USA made hydraulic cylinders, not cheap tie-rod cylinders.  All pins are included with this kit including a longer main pin and they are turned from HT4142 USA steel to the appropriate spec.  The main pin will be supplied with a countersunk grease fitting just like the factory one so you can still maintain the end of your stick.
Protected grease fittings are provided at all pivoting locations so that all components of the thumb can be maintained.  There is a reason other thumbs sell for less because they can't be maintained, use cheap import cylinders, cheap import steel, or lesser grade steel.
As you can see, we offer a completely turn-key thumb package that is hundreds of dollars less than the dealership while still offering incredible quality and components not found on the OE model.  We have thousands of excavator thumbs in the field and we stand behind our product.  We have had great success with our thumbs and other attachments for many years.  For Customer Service, or if you have any additional questions on this or any of our products, please 'Ask Seller A Question' or j
ust call us 651-21three-0284.
Please note pictures showing thumbs with more than two tines are only for reference and available in different auctions or by contacting us.  If you are interested in a thumb for a different machine, or need something special, please contact us so we can send you our measurement form and confirm fitment as well as discuss your application.  Custom thumbs are our main business so we are prepared for your inquiry and would be happy to help.
Things to note would be if:
you have a factory or aftermarket coupler/pin grabber
main pin needs a grease fitting
other existing mounts on stick that may interfere
special retainer on the main pin
any modification to the factory main pin
We build our thumbs specifically to your machine for perfect fit so the eBay item quantity and ETA may not always be accurate.
