Bucket Damaged

tld · Apr 16, 2005

I bumped a tree with my bucket. Long story...don't ask.

The part of the bucket that is damaged is the top edge...directly above the cutting edge. It is dented in about 1/2 inch and the entire dent is about 1`2 inches long.
Can this be fixed? It doesn't hamper the buckets ability to laod or carry, just looks bad.

Chances are it can be straightened some. Some pictures would help us and we may be able to give you some pointers as to what to do to straighten it out.

( I bumped a tree with my bucket. )

that must have been some bump to bend the bucket as u describe. is it possible to post some pics? to get a better idea of the bend.

I see you have "insurance claims" as an occupation. Do you assess damage? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Kidding, of course.

Will you tell us the 'long story' ? We'd like to know, and may even add to our CUT wisdom so we don't do the same thing. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I'll bet this will require a large investigation of the cause of the accident! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
