Right you are, Yes it was a workout, but the second one would be a lot easier. Mostly a workout due to lack of experience, and proper tools. The Kubota dealer I got the QA unit from did not really want the old bucket, back in trade, he said they had 5 or 6 of them already. I suspect many dealers have them sitting around they would sell for scrap price. Truth be told I would not mind doing another one. I paid 124 for the QA plate to put on the back of the bucket, but have found some since for 105. The bucket is worth about 100, and you will use up some supplies getting it cleaned off and welded up, so for about 250 and some work, you could have a nice digging bucket.

I'm starting to think about a 60" conversion with weld on teeth.
