Make sure that you have enough rollback angle on the bucket when you weld the plates on.
The plates can be welded on at any angle needed by using gussets to get the angle.I don't really have much choice, now that I think about it.
Right, you may want a little more rollback than before.What I mean is that the old ear holes were in holes situated parallel to the back of the bucket, so if I put the plates directly on the back, I will have the same angle the bucket had when it was held on with pins.
I guess I should tack the new plates on and move the bucket around to check it before finishing the welds.
It's not like anyone is standing over either of us to finish.
