Warning: Don't buy a used dredge cutterhead without checking the teeth first

I dropped $1200 on a supposedly 'good shape' 10 inch cutterhead from a guy in Mobile. First week on the job off Dauphin Island, I lost three teeth because they were worn way past what I could see. Check the wear rings and seating surfaces before you hand over cash.

Man, that hurts to read. "Good shape" from a guy in Mobile doesn't sound like it held up at all. Sorry you got burned like that.

Could be more about rough handling than the teeth themselves.
