Help - Need source for FEL 72\" Bucket

Hi, I have a (Woods) DuAll 195 loader in need of a new 72" bucket. Does anyone know of a source or a custom fabricator?
It's 17 CuFt in volume.
Thanks

Check out ATI - they have a whole range of buckets available. You might have to get the correct brackets welded on to put it on your tractor but they should have what you are looking for:

Thanks Jim, I talked to ATI a couple of weeks ago. Salesman was a bit pissy. They wanted $1200 plus shipping. Then he said he could not sell it to me direct - had to go to a dealer who would in turn put his markup on it. Thought I could get a fabricated for that price. I really don't have the time to measure and design a bucket at this point.

You also try searching thru Ebay - you might find a used bucket that you could adapt to your tractor. I have seen a few auctions lately for buckets that went pretty cheap.

Rather than have a bucket fabricated, I think I'd have a skid steer quick attach mount fabricated, and then buy a skid steer bucket. Have you priced a replacement bucket from Woods?

Haley, I have a, just about new, JD 73" bucket, with removable tooth bar. This bucket came with my JD 440 loader. Bucket's STRUCK capacity is listed at 10.7 cu.ft. Don't know the heap capacity load would be.
I replaced this bucket with a 4n1 years ago.
To use this bucket on your Ford you would most likely have to move the pivot/roll ram bushings pads over to fit.

cheers,

Hi, Did I read your post correctly. 10.7 CuFt or is it 17.0 I need at least 17cuft. Either way I don't think two people could live farther away from each other unless it were Miami and Ankorage /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Otherwise I'd be interested
