I think I am in need of a 1 1/4 reamer to clean up the holes, also rear pin must have a slight bend, I will hold off finishing it till i get my kubota pins

decided to weld it up without kubota pins, after an hour of sanding the pins with drywall sanding screen and 400 grit paper, ripped a 1x6 and clamped as a jig. made small even stitch welds as to not bind the pins, i would weld one side and pins would lock up, then weld opposite side to regain movement, also decided to add a band around the back to the bottom cutting edge 1/4 x 1 1/2, weld the upper half heat at the bend with a torch bend over and use a lump hammer to fit tight, weld, repeat. marked the bucket with an s. in the end pins move fine, primmed painted. just need teeth to come in
