Bucket Waste gaurd

[Sfrankland]

I decided that I needed a waste guard after moving some gravel around and seeing how much would fall back onto the tractor when I got a bucket full of material. The sides and back plates are 3/16" and the tube is 2 1/4" with a 3/16" wall. The guard adds about 8" to the over all height of the bucket. The cut outs are for the bolt on clevises.

A close up shot of the bolt on clevises and the support plate. The support plate is larger than the clevis plate to reduce the chance of it tearing the bucket. The base is 1/2" and the upright is 3/4" plate. It is held on with 4 grade 8 bolts.

Nice work! The plates will outlast the bucket.
(consider revising title to "bucket waste guard") I think everyone has spilled the bucket over the backside at least once, if not many times.

All finished and a coat of paint. It works better than expected.
