I'd run out to the shop and measure my bucket, but it's dark now. Plus my shop is 120 miles from my house. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
It's a Kubota LB400-A, which is spec'd as 60.0 inches wide. Don't know if that's an inside or outside dimension.
If I can get a new bar for 250 bucks, this thing might just happen! Dang it, John -- you're getting me all excited again! /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif
Thanks for the info!
And Bird -- thanks for sharing your attack of laziness with us. Twenty bucks for having it done right (should the need arise) sounds like a bargain. I've hired a local welder up at the property only once so far, and that was to create and install a couple of wrought iron railings to help my mom down the 2 front steps. The guy was expensive ($400 for two short railings), but he came highly recommended by all the neighbors. In fact, I had to get on a waiting list to get the job done. I was surprised when he showed up with only a well-used oxy/acetylene rig. But even more surprising was that he was in a wheelchair! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif A total paraplegic, he abandoned his chair to do the actual welding and just dragged himself around to get the job done. This guy was part welder and part artist, both to an impressive degree.
Dunno if he charges less for doing industrial grade work (which he is said to do equally well), but it would be interesting to see what he can do.
