Any idea how it was bent up?
That would help to know for a suggestion how to fix.
Does the bucket have an edge blade welded on? Or is it without a blade?
With the bucket on the ground, might put a post in the bucket over the bend (rise) and under a heavy tree limb or house/barn beam. Then curl the bucket to hopefully return the bend to straight (er).
Or if you need the excuse to buy the press...that should be a good one.
Been,
No idea how it got bent, came that way. Likely pushing on something with the bucket curled. Yes it does have a blade welded on. Had not thought of using the curl function to bend it back. I think one would have a problem controlling how much bending was going on there. Might make it worse in the opposite direction. Could use an observer for better results I suppose.
YES, good excuse to buy a 20 ton press!
Thanks,
