Please forgive me if I'm in the wrong place, or if this is a dumb question. Equipment is a new thing for me, and I'm learning as I go.
I have a John Deere 555B,1988 I think,with a 4 way bucket.I'm missing a tooth on the bucket and really don't know where to look.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Take another tooth off and match it at a JD dealer or aftermarket tooth supplier. JD dealer could probably tell you what style and tooth it is. Best to replace ASAP before the shank wears making the tooth loose.

Images of the bucket with missing tooth would be great. If the tooth was bolted on or installed with a pressed pin, it can be replaced easily with a new tooth and pin. If all the teeth are connected to a tooth bar (I doubt that is what you have), then you can replace the tooth bar.

A picture would be a good start . . .

It's a track loader so 99% sure it's a single pin on tooth. I'd bet the shank is welded on but may be bolted although I don't recall many JD machines with bolt on shanks. I think if someone did a little searching on the net they could find what style and size the tooth is. I'd guess it's 23/230 size but don't know what other style are a similar size.
