Well yesterday I posted about moving some huge concrete pads with my LS. Well today I noticed that the QA attachment points on the FEL bucket had broke on both sides at the bottom. I got them back aligned pretty well and broke out the E7018 and put about 3 passes on each side of the break. I was putting a lot of pressure on the FEL lifting those 18" wide x 12" thick x ever how long it took to break up a section. Sometimes it was 4 foot and sometimes it was 15 or more feet. I think those 15 footers is what got my bucket. I put about 3 hours on the tractor moving those which was mostly done at 1000 RPM which was plenty of power to spin all 4 wheels dragging these super heavy slabs down to a storage area. I didn't want to go to fast and have it hang up and break something.
Anyway after finishing the welding on the FEL, I switched out the cat 1 pins on my box blade and put in Cat 2 pins, then hooked it up and went up and levelled off all the holes left from removing the pads. That put about another hour on the meter.
