Loader bucket is smiling

texasjohn · Jul 6, 2006

I have a John Deere toothbar on my bucket.... extremely heavy duty... I can't imagine that the combination of heavy duty bucket and that tooth bar would ever develop a smile.... 500 hours and still straight as an arrow.

I have an old IH2050 loader, with a rock bucket on it. 3/4 " steel in the bottom, big bolt on teeth, etc. I think it was beefed up by the Army Corps of Engineers before it was sold
Too heavy though, I just about have the materials rounded up to make a lighter duty bucket for most uses. A lighter bucket will shift more weight to the rear wheels for better traction.

It's a 13 year old post to the day and he hasn't been here since 2011, so I doubt you will get an answer.

Welcome to TBN, however. :welcome:

Yes, and that little bug has been running around in a panic trying to find the exit for almost eight years!
