My dad's tractor loader bucket is worn thin on the bottom rear and is rusted/pitted pretty bad. He picked up two pieces of 1/4" X 6" steel that I welded to the inside of the bottom of the bucket. The scrap yard cut the pieces of steel 1/2" too short and there's a 1/4" gap on both ends from the sides of the bucket.
To fill in those gaps I had thought about laying a piece of 1/4" round rod in the gaps and welding it to the steel plate and to the sides of the bucket. I think that would tie everything together making everything stronger.
Am I going about this the right way?
