la bala Posted December 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Just didnt like the straight sided shape of the bucket so reprofiled it, yep that looks better. If i get in the workshop tommorrow will get some wear strips cut and shaped for sides of bucket. Need some bucket pin bosses turned on a lathe and then the ears can go on. Putting the ears on is hardest part of job, they go on a set distance apart and have to line up exactly for the two bucket pins, even if you get them lined up, the weld heat only has to pull them a fraction and the pins wont go in, or if you weld them with the pins in you cant get them out. The things I do to amuse myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la bala Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Been putting ears on today, what a job getting them lined up. Its ok trying to fabricate in minature but you cant clamp anything, cut them off three times . Just got to sort bosses out for bucket pins and thats it. This will be the last but one pic, will put the last one on later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
