    Does anyone have a DXF file for a WBM wedgelock ear? Might save me the trouble of measuring and cadding one out. I need to make a coupler for a drum mulcher I just bought.

    Well this request didn't help me find what I was looking for so I made my own sketch. If anyone searches and finds this thread looking for the same thing I was then here's the DXF file I made.

In the near future I'll be after a pattern for the CWS 200 lugging on mine. Anyone know the difference between WBM and CWS? I was told the wedge angle is different, I wonder if the hole pattern is the same?

    I've been told they are interchangeable. Maybe cut one of these out in very light gauge steel and try it.

    Nice! Internet seems to agree that CWS and WBM interchange. Slightly different saddle spacing and wedge angle, but close enough. To confirm scaling: one opening was 5.77" and the other was 5.63"? Sound about right? A buddy of mine has a CNC router, I'll see if he can cut me a test piece out of plywood.

    Yes, Fusion 360 measuring shows 5.63" and 5.77". I haven't cut them out yet. Need to drop off a thumb drive at the local welding shop.

    Just an update to say that everything fits perfectly with that DXF file.

I needed a flat plate on the bottom of mine so that's what I modelled but you can easily change that to match what you need. The ear geometry is what seems to be classified info. In hindsight I would have modelled tabs and slots in all the parts I had cut out to fabricate them. Welding magnets and tape measures could be eliminated. I just downloaded Fusion 360 and already I can see that I could have made the whole process easier than putting together Legos. My other attachments use 1.25" thick plates but this mulcher only needs 3/4" plates. You're not digging with it, it's just to throw the cutter around. This is a RayTree 50 mulcher. Seems like a really well-made unit. I guess after beating on it we'll see just how it holds up.

    IIRC there is a thread on there with a spreadsheet of many different front loader QC dimensions, another for excavator buckets as well. Maybe combine them into a large sticky thread ?

I used it for many hours last fall and only changed one tooth so far. Works great for the price. I opened up the panels and found the hydraulic motor mount bolts loose and I properly tensioned the drive belt too.

I read some on the internet that replacing the motor mounting bolts with grade 8 and loctite is a good thing to do. Otherwise, I didn't find a lot of negatives for these and they're hard to beat for the bang for the buck. If/when I get one, I'll start a new thread here about it...
