Pre drilled holes? In bucket

[Gary Fowler]

Mine LS bucket has no holes anywhere. It is water tight. So was my V3 loader on my graymarket Yanmar until I drilled the 2 holes for the tooth bar in the 1/4" thick side plates

Joel, did you use cutting oil when drilling your cutting edge? I had adapted a snow blade to my 3054 before I got the blower and had to drill two 3/4" holes in the cutting edge so as to mount the push frame. I used a 1/4" pilot drill and then the 3/4" bit using cutting oil with both and had no problem punching the holes :thumbsup:
