If this is the heavy duty bucket then I would add the missing bolt on cutting edge to the front lip. Better to add it now before it gets bent up imo.

now I got to look at the bucket a little closer and maybe add the cutting edge to it. Does anyone recognize the bush hog and know anything about them, it looked heavy duty to me when I bought it.

I used hard to find 2 x 2 x 1/2" thick angle and bolted to it a replaceable strip of 1-1/2 x 1/2 Steel. Decent for quickie grading, & Back Dragging, but a land plane is really much better. For the front I have a extra cuttng edge with ESCO teeth.

Dropped the L45 off today to get the service and the forward hydraulics done should go pick it up Friday.

went yesterday and picked up my L45 from the shop with the new forward hydraulics and a service done, came home and hooked up the grapple just to see how it works that thing is awesome even though I did not test it's limits I did pick up a big rock and then a crosstie.

Hi Woody. Congrats on this great-looking L45!
Do you happen to know the dimension (or would you mind measuring) the total length when the backhoe is in storage position? I'm considering an L45 too, but I need to be sure it will fit in the dry storage I have available. Height is not an issue, but length is limited. TractorData.com tells me the length of this machine is 237 inches, nearly 20 feet. However I believe that is with the backhoe extended, like you would have it strapped down on the bed of a trailer. I'd like to know how long it is with the backhoe tucked against the back of the machine, as it would be parked.
Thanks!
