Default Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)

Not that heavy at all Greg.. it's all made from 20guage.

Most of it is still there yet RT9.

I made the steel bushings in my lathe to fit the 6mm rod.. weld in the bushings & front rod tomorrow, then paint 'em both.






The GP bucket is 50% larger than the kit stock bucket, almost as wide as the 740 box.






I wondered after making such a big bucket if it might be too big.. but even with the hoe sitting at a tilt, a bucket full didn't even make the outside track jiggle. (I filled the counter weight full of BB's last week, didn't weigh it though)
