Problem with BXpanded thumb

[BobLoblaw]

I hit a problem installing the Bxpanded thumb on my B2601 with BH70. The pin is short on one end and way too long on the other and the thumb doesn't line up with the telescoping arm. Either I'm doing something really dumb here or they welded the spacer on the wrong side.

Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Or have theirs handy to take a look and see if this is backwards? They're closed for the weekend or i'd call.

Thanks!!

It sure looks like that spacer is on the wrong side.

Either that, or they sent you the wrong one, would be my guess.

In the first picture, it looks like the 'spacer' on the right arm that is welded on the inside should have been welded on the outside. That would allow the thumb to be centered on the bucket.
Wondering if there's good pictures at their website to show it ?

Could it be that the model you purchased designed to also work with their bucket quick connect system? which requires that longer pin included with your purchase.

Thanks guys. I couldn't find any pictures online that shows an angle where you can see how it aligns. It's gotta be the wrong part or assembled wrong at their shop. I'll wait to hear back from them

I never got the thumb yet. Maybe these pics will help.

Looks to be a thumb there.

Oh come on, it's not BXpanded.

That I couldn't tell ya! Just went by your original comment "I never got the thumb yet". Didn't see where it was referring to needing to be BXpanded brand. My little "OJ24" baby bucket no match for that gargantous bucket.

Trimley. I'm detecting a "Swinger". Looks to be lots of Green & Yellow" in the background there. The "Orange" family may wish to advise somewhere along the way, reform, to see the "JD" error of your ways, dig an early implement grave using your own big "Toothy". RIP "JD".

The BX23S is my first orange fling.
The Box Blade got your attention, BB1248, originally orange, adopted and converted back. The trailer, 22 Utility. There's also a Core Aerator in there, and a converted 4-way plow. Wheel Weights, suitcase weights, 25g sprayer, boom pole and more in another building.

All ahead slow!

I almost pulled the trigger on a BXpanded thumb for my B3030/BH75, until I saw this video. I'm glad I went with the Kubota thumb...the thing is solid!!!!!
