By all means get me a drawing. I have a salesman sample of an ESCO bucket and I used it some to build this bucket only I didn't finish it yet as you can see. I'm planning on cutting the teeth off and make up a new cutting edge that may have replaceable teeth. If I had some exact sizes that would make the process way faster.
Carl, I was just playing around with the scaling function in Autocad Friday. Still getting used to ACad and really like it so far. When I drew the 9W side profile back a couple years ago, I drew 1:1 and resized to 1/16. I did that with BobcAD then,it has the same function.
