Maintenance

remove a clear “kerf” from the stump without the body 

of the tooth ever contacting the stump.  This concept 

reduces drag, which maximizes the use of the machine’s 

horsepower.  This also reduces wear on the tooth body 

and on the attachment hardware.  Many of the other 

cutting tool systems available today do not address this 

important aspect of cutting. 

•  Cutting Tool Dimensions: Rayco’s stump cutting teeth 

are carefully designed to have the proper size of carbide 

tip.  Carbide tips ultimately become dull, and using 

large, oversized carbide tips will induce extreme impact 

energies into the machine’s structure. 

•  Debris Retention: Rayco’s cutting tool patterns are 

designed to minimize the retention of debris in between 

the cutting tools.  This debris can cause imbalance.  This 

debris can also become a dangerous projectile.  Non-

Rayco cutting tools may retain more debris.

Changing Teeth

Remove the socket head bolts from the teeth. (Use the 1/2” 
hex key provided with the machine.)

•  Clean all dirt from the cutting wheel and teeth.
•  Check the cutting wheel for cracks. Re place the wheel 

if it is cracked.

•  Carefully select and insert new cutting teeth, properly 

positioning each tooth as shown in the diagram on the 

next page.

•  Bolt the teeth to the cutting wheel (but not tightly until 

the pattern has been double-checked).

•  After setting each tooth pair, tighten the socket head 

bolts to 135 to 145 foot-pounds.

Replacement teeth are available from your Rayco dealer or 
direct from Rayco. Refer to the Parts manual for part numbers
The Cutter Wheel (1) Rayco part# 35244 on the RG55 uses 
6 different types of SuperTeeth as shown below:

2)Straight Tooth - Part# 3144T (threaded) Qty of 3
3)Angle-Out Tooth - Part# 2933T (threaded) Qty of 9.
4)Straight Tooth - Part# 3144C (countersunk) Qty of 3.
5)Angle-Out Tooth - Part# 2933C (countersunk) Qty of 9

BLOCK OR OTHERWISE SECURELY SUPPORT 

THE CUTTING BOOM WHEN CHANGING 

TEETH.

NOTICE

Read all of the following instructions before 
beginning to change the cutting teeth.

NOTICE

The following illustrations represents the exact 
location required for positioning each tooth. Please 
follow the diagrams very closely for good cutting 
wheel performance.

NOTICE

DO NOT hammer the tip of a tooth. Due to the 
super hardness of the tooth, it is brittle and may 
chip from such treatment.
