....................CHIM: What did you do to the bottom to recess the bolt holes.
This one has studs plug welded into the bar. I forget the size of the bar. It's a pretty beefy piece of stainless that I found in a pile. After welding the bottom of the bar was ground smooth. Nuts are on the inside of the bucket.
On my previous tractor the wear edge was tapped. Bolts were inserted from the inside of the bucket and cut off and ground smooth where they came out through the bottom.
Both methods worked well.
