** PLEASE CHECK YOUR MEASUREMENTS BEFORE ORDERING. (LOOK UNDER "BIG DAVE" TAB FOR INSTRUCTIONS) CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR IF YOU NEED HELP THE THUMBS CAN BE TRICKY TO ORDER CORRECT.

MEASUREMENTS

Please follow these instructions when measuring. You want your "stick to tip" measurement to be as close to the thumb tine length as possible. GENTEC's mounting plates are very narrow so typically there is no problems with the mounting plate (exception is the very smallest class of mini excavator)

INSTALLATION

Please follow these instructions when installing your thumb.
