Where to find an L45 backhoe bucket?

[fortpp1]

I've done google searches which led nowhere. Anyone have any leads for buckets?

Thanks,
Kent

Other than the dealer, did you check the everything attachments website?

Thanks coder. I looked around that site, it's amazing! I didn't find the particular buckets there though.

Here is what I found if people search this topic:

How about Messick's Online Parts, Sales & Service. ? You may have to call them, but for parts I have always heard good things about them. I am not sure if Barlow's sells parts, but I imagine they do.

Steep prices you have there, but I guess that's the norm.

Everything Kabota is steep. Those are MSRP and often street price is lower.

I wonder if the bucket is proprietary or if it's the same as another make of tractor?

I thought I read somewhere woods made them for kubota, but I could be mistaken about that.

Here is an ebay one, not much cheaper though:

You might look around where you live, there might be someone who will custom make you a bucket. In my neck of the woods there are two machine shops who build buckets. There are also two guys who are welders and in their spare time build custom buckets for people. You would probably have to paint it yourself.

Well, upon further inspection, I have a thumb and a quick attach bucket which is a whole other set of buckets:
