The bucket on my ford 7700 loader has rotted away. Suggestions on locating a replacement close to central MS?
Thanks,

You could always check with the boys at everything attachments. I would assume you need a pin on style loader bucket. I believe Ford merged with new Holland so you could also inquire at the local new Holland dealership

Probably buy a new one. Most people want 3/4 of new price for a 3/4 worn out bucket.

Couple years ago when I purchased my T4.75 New South included a bucket at cost. I would suggest contacting a dealer to get a price then contact a local fabricator to see what they could make one for. I would guess that the cost is pretty close to factory. It's all labor and materials.

Time and moisture, rust never sleeps.

Best thing you can do with anything made of metal is keep it dry, out of the weather and painted/sealed and in use. The less you do of those things the faster it rots

We sold a 45 hp compact new Holland at one of our sales. The bucket on that was used and abused - more work than it was designed for and constant contact with manure. Barely enough left to fix
