Well all the base welding is now done so the next steps are:

1. Re-inforce front edges
2. Install loader brackets
3. Drill for cutting edge
4. Weld on waer skids
5. Bit of grinding and touch up
6 Prime and Paint

Posted a pic as of today

Cut and tacked on the front corner stiffeners and four wear plates on the bottom of the bucket tonight.

Start the brackets tomorrow

Finished welding on the wear pads on the bottom of the bucket today and then finished welding and grinding one of the front corner stiffeners.

Will throw some pics up.

Tomorrow I will finish the other stiffener and start marking out the brackets. Need to go buy a 1-1/8 drill on my way home from work tomorrow too.

I wonder if they deliver to Canada?

Here is a thread for shipping inside the states to a border crossing that I found very useful check out the end of the thread for heavy objects:

I've seen skidoos, airplane panels, skids and skids of tires and rims, you name it. And you don't have to ship it there via UPS either. A skid steer plate should be no problem.
