I need some advice on what rod I should use to attach a quick attach plate to a bucket. I will be cutting ears off bucket and attaching plate to the rear flat surface of bucket. The plate is 1/4 inch and the back of bucket is probably 3/16 inch and I might be able to attach to some of the ears which around 1/2 inch thick but won't know for sure until I start project. I have used 6011 and 6013 in the past. I have a Lincoln 220 volt 200 amp AC/DC welder. Will either of these rods be strong enough? Which rod type size polarity should I use? We use the bucket with forks for lifting so I'm concerned about strength. Any advice would be appreciated.
