Rotary Hoe Replacement Spoons
If you own a rotary hoe and find that the teeth wear out before the rest of the hoe, you can save much of the cost of buying a new machine by rebuilding your old one with new "HoBits" replacement spoons.
Made of steel, they're designed to be welded right over the old hoe teeth. A special gauge helps you weld the HoBits into place on the worn tip of each hoe wheel tooth or spike. Gauges are available for most makes of hoes including John Deere, International and Yetter.
"Ho-Bits have shown themselves to be as good or better than the original parts," explains Ed Tetrault of Scott Landlevelers, the manufacturer. "One section of worn rotary hoe can be reconditioned in approximately four hours. A foursection hoe can be reworked in the off-season for approximately one-third the price of a new one."
Using the special gauge to attach Ho-Bits helps prevent uneven wearing, insures long life, and insures proper placement of the Ho-Bit spoons. You place the Ho-Bit'into the groove in the back of the gauge. Then, insert the gauge to the center of the wheel hub and weld the Ho-Bit in place.
Ho-Bits sell for 43 cents each, FOB Tilbury, Ontario, Canada.
