Anulet Backjoe Thumb: Symptoms and Diagnosis

Anulet backjoe thumb is a rare and unique condition that affects the thumb. It is a genetic disorder that is characterized by an extra bone or joint in the thumb or the absence of a bone or joint. This condition can result in various difficulties and challenges for individuals who are affected by it. One of the main symptoms of anulet backjoe thumb is the presence of an extra bone or joint in the thumb. This additional bone or joint can cause the thumb to appear deformed or misshapen. It can also affect the range of motion and functionality of the thumb, making it difficult for individuals with this condition to perform tasks that require fine motor skills or grip strength.

Our Universal Thumb Attachments are 7" wide and made to work with all width buckets. If you'd like a wider thumb attachment we also offer 10", 14" and 24" wide thumbs. Give us a call for a quote on a wider thumb today.

The hydraulics are already on the machine so all I really need to do is weld the brackets for the cylinder and thumb, mount them, and make the hoses to the cylinder.

It can also affect the range of motion and functionality of the thumb, making it difficult for individuals with this condition to perform tasks that require fine motor skills or grip strength. On the other hand, the absence of a bone or joint in the thumb can also cause significant challenges for individuals with anulet backjoe thumb. This can result in a shorter thumb or a thumb that does not function properly.

Amulet excavator thumb

I couldn't decide which forum to post this in. I finally decided it was more of a welding job than anything for me. Anyway, I ordered an Amulet thumb for a customer's Caterpillar 305 CR excavator Friday. They have to build it and ship it to me. I expect to see it the coming Friday and put it on Saturday. I will definitely post pictures before, after, and during. It should be a fun job. The hydraulics are already on the machine so all I really need to do is weld the brackets for the cylinder and thumb, mount them, and make the hoses to the cylinder.

I quoted my customer $3000 for the job.

Make sure to tack everything up and test fit it first, we just got the wrong size thumb from them twice. Looking forward to your pictures buddy

I definitely will tack and test first. Especially since it is my first time installing a thumb that wasn't a factory kit.

There should be instructions for welding the thumb brackets on. If it uses separate small brackets for the cylinder and thumb hinge pins, they can be welded all around. If it uses a large mounting plate with the cylinder and hinge mounts already attached, only weld on the sides lengthwise with the stick/boom. Don't weld across the top and bottom (across the width of the stick). That's an application where you could use Shield Arcs suggestion to put silicone seal across the boom to keep moisture from getting under the plate.

These are the welding instructions I have so far. We'll see if they send any more with the thumb.

It would add stress to the stick welding straight across it. The instructions show curved ends and also to leave a space un-welded in the middle. I'm sure Shield Arc could explain it better than I could.

I hired a pro welder to attach the cylinder bracket plate to the dipper stick on my tractor's subframe mounted backhoe. The instructions for the weld process were quite detailed and clear. they said to fit the thumb onto the hoe and gave an area in which to locate the plate. They said to clean all paint from the weld area, to dry fit the plate and test the fitment before welding. We did this and then tacked the late to retest actual fit. Once verified, we welded ONLY along the sides of the plate and stick, NOT across as clearly stated in the directions.
We took the extra precaution to remove the battery ground during the process so no damage from the welding could carryover to the tractor's electrical system.
The work cost $150, and took a couple of hours to complete from start to finish. The results are good.

We offer 2-5 day shipping (LTL Freight and Residential) for all of our attachments. Products will ship out in 1-3 business days and tracking information will be provided.
