My Bucket modifications

[Mercmaniac]

I picked up a lot of great ideas here. I added an angle across the top. It was 3"x 4". I cut the 3" leg down to 1 5/8". 1/4" x 1 1/2" pieces up the sides. A gusset underneath the top at the middle and a 1/4" x 3" on the back middle.

Very nice! Well thought out and excellent welding. Counting the toothbar, how much weight do you think was added?

 

[kebo]

Yep, looks very nice, very sturdy! If you ever bend that, you know you've messed up!!!

Dave, I weighed the metal prior to welding and it was around 35 lbs. The Gator toothbar is around 70 I think.

Wish I could take credit for the welding. A friend of mine has a welding company and one of his guys did it. I cut out all the metal and had it ready to weld.
