Any chance you took some pics of the work in progress? Would love to bring them to my welder buddy and see if he thinks he can do this for my bucket!

Thanks,

Nathan

Nathan , if he is a very good welder. and takes Pride in his work.
he should not have any problem doing it just like mine.
Sorry i did not take any picture while i was doing it. I was to
Dirty to touch my camera.....

 

[Nathan_OR]

I honestly wouldn't know if he's a good welder, I'm sure he isn't as good as a 25+ year pro, but I'm sure he's honest and will do his best, and so I'm happy to take it to him. Heck he's probably just going to do it in trade for computer help, so as long as it isn't gonna break and hurt me I'm fine

 

[Chris2520]

Well , as long as he gets good penetration , it will hold.
now makeing a pretty bead. thats another story....

looks great! this is going to be the next project on my bucket. As for the JD paint... did you use the JD paint in a rattle spray paint can?

Nice job. I did that to the bucket for my 4100 and it has been so useful. I didnt think of the gussets and my welds are not that pretty though. I lift everything with that chain though, even 4x4 round bales.
