we have a church camp down the road from our house and some how or another they broke the front bucket on a backhoe.. We figured it was just a lil broken..Wrong. it was a complete loss.






After torch








New bucket we made out of 1/4"



Still gotta weld the cutting edge on and reinforce the top.
If they break this one, we give up.

 

Damn, they did a number on the old one..

 

It took us about 3 hours to use a brake and make that bend.. 2.8* bends every 3/4"

 

Looks good. Always love a welding project!
