thanks will try the pb blaster, also will look at the adjustments for the 3PH. Any ideas as to adding a stiffener to the bucket?
I was thinking of having a bar welded under the bucket from edge to edge behind the weld for the cutting edge. what would be a good thickness and width for the new plate? Is this the best location?

You can purchase the cutting edge from www.tractorsmart.com and take it to a local welding shop and they will weld it on for you inexpensively. Who knows, there might even be another TBN member that lives near you that will do it for a case of brew. Ask around town who does welding. It isn't that hard of a job. The part # is 75532-59320 and cost $110.45 plus shipping. If you own a hand grinder, you can save some time and money if you grind off the old welds in advance. Or take the bucket to a welding shop and they can make the new cutting edge and install it. The reason the dealers quote was so expensive is they didn't want the job.
