I was gonna buy a new bucket for my home backhoe. But then got to thinking of a new idea.
I have an old loader bucket that was given to me in some scrap metal. I was gonna use it for the loader I was gonna make. But there's a few rusted through spots in the middle. The rest of it's okay.
So I was thinking of marking a straight line and use my dads old circular saw with an abrasive wheel and cut it down to shorten it to make a bucket for my backhoe.
Once shortened down. I'd weld it back together and have a recycled bucket. Total cost would be around $5.00 -$6.00.
A new buckets almost $300.00 3 Tooth Trencher Bucket
That's the bucket I was gonna buy until I remembered the loader bucket.
When I start I'll take some pictures of the progress.
