Monster bucket day 4 Fab and mount try

[@1or2Players]

That is very interesting stuff you got there Bill and Sarah, it is very very rare to see textile products come from my home city of Bradford (famous for its textile industry) here in rainy old England, nice to see some people are still keeping our history alive.

[@IRONMAN-kb4su]

Sweet mail call ! Woolly Woolly Woolly ..... lol ! Great vid update . That buck be good for ditch cleaning also . That turned out very well lots of great movement !

[@railroadman57]

Beautiful bucket Bill once again you did a fabulous job !!!

[@daleseward4772]

bill the warp on the bucket is a good warp. they actually build buckets with that same type of "lower" mounting point! just throw in your inner gussets and tell everyone it was a carefully calculated feature!!

[@Syxx423]

I found out how sharp my new 110 was, too. lol When I first got it, I cleaned some left over polish residue off. I didn't realize by finger was over where the tip would close. It was so sharp, I didn't even really feel the initial slice when I closed it. It got the tip of my finger pretty good. It bled like a stuck pig. lol I don't know if anyone else mentioned it, and I can't remember if it was mentioned in a video. Since that bucket is so big, if you get a lot of dirt in it, you may find you need some more counter weights in the back since that mini-ex is so small. lol

[@4menonly]

Bill!!! Get that tiger torch out and heat the heck out of the inside at the weld points. The heat alone will do what you need. I was a fitter and we had to do it all the time.

[@anthonyc572]

Cut some steel tubes that are the exact width of the inside of the two plates put some bolts through the plates and the tubes and sandwich every thing together nice and tight and or some good tack welds hydraulic jack in the middle and maybe a little heat! Hopefully everything should stay together and still line up nice!

[@danallen6611]

good plan

[@super6954]

Hi Bill if that was my problem bending that top with distortion, the way I would probably try straightening it, would be turn the bucket upside down. support it on wood blocks either side of the ears somewhere to give them clearance from the ground. then use the boom without a bucket on, and maybe another block under the boom end and push down on it with the 110 from inside the bucket if you can get the boom in there at the right angle to push. You might have to hit it with a big sledge hammer if the weights not enough on its own to get the bend moving. Maybe using some heat and relieve the stress to would help if you went careful . i did the back of a big 4 in 1 JCB Front loader bucket like that but without heat. it was about 6" out when I started. The back wheels of the digger were 3ft in the air to get a lot of weight right on the bend. The plate was a fair bit thicker than your bucket, bouncing the machine never moved it, but it went good when i started hitting it.. Like you say the only risk is what happens to the ear spacing unless you can maybe use some spare pins. Or weld 2 plates across them to try keep them parallel, and pray they don't spring when your done and remove the pins or bracing plates . The only 100% risk free answer is leave it alone I think and learn from the mistake next time.

[@billstmaxx]

+super6954 good info there thanks :)

[@chappy726]

Bill. Put the bucket on the mini ex and then - carefully - pull the top square with the machine. Tie the ends of the bucket down to something heavy. Maybe heat the pipe first. It should keep the mounting tabs square and straighten things up. At the end of the day a little wow to that area isnt the end of the day.

[@earthmover666]

BILLSTMAXX :) very nice little grading bucket put use cold stop welding when welding on the ear's on any bucket, you will get no warp then.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Nice vid Bill 😊

[@shaununderwood3390]

The ditchers we use in the UK have a central support . kinda divides the bucket . and strengthens it no end . I've used buckets that flex under presume

[@vladt956]

John deere should make you discount for all the comercial stuff on your channel! Enjoy your videos!

[@daleseward4772]

for your inner gussets attach them under you brackets but instead of running them straight down to the bottom of the bucket, run them on a 15 to 25 degree angle towards the bucket ends (like an upside down V) that will help provide dirt from plugging up when its damp and will offer better over all bucket support.

[@danieldaemicke6904]

Paint it gloss black it would look cool with the orange.

[@godsmack113]

that was great impression of a sheep bill

[@lukeclarke8270]

you are the best mate 🚜😊

[@phillipgroom9187]

Use some cardboard, as a template, you can cut some off or add to it to get a good fit. Just a suggestion. Thanks for all your videos!

[@anthonydwyer1783]

Maybe put the light switch plate in the camper trailer if it fits.

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

Bill, wouldn't it be possible to grind that side plate off with the grinder in an uprigt position and the disk flat on the bottom going in the edges?

[@lockmaster50169]

after you get the bucket welded fully you can set a bottle jack in the center and heat it with your rosebud as you flex it upward then add your inner supports that will work just fine

[@zx8401ztv]

You could put the bucket back on the machine, make it horizontal and fill it with your scrap metal for weight, heat the bar, you may gain a little more, but dont go too far :-D Oh, cardboard cerial packets are good for tenplates, free too :-)

[@billstmaxx]

+zx8401ztv well there are grease seals in the holes on the machine so i dont want to cook them

[@zx8401ztv]

+BILLSTMAXX :) It was just a thought :-)

[@bigbear3505]

bill . the best way to straighten out your bucket ..reconnect your bucket to your excavator and then used the john deere 110 to put that bucket inside and ten just heat up the pipe red hot and move up with excavator just enough straighten out

[@billstmaxx]

+bern trailboss well there are grease seals in the holes on the machine so i dont want to cook them

[@bigbear3505]

oh yea I forgot .. maybe just try without heated instead bill .. might work but you must go very slow to do it

[@BNSFfan1996]

you could put the torch on the opposite side of the weld... if you heat it and simulate a weld it will bring it right back.

[@billstmaxx]

+Joey Broadston i did try that.. got it red hot and it didn't move back at all :(

[@godsmack113]

the mini ex looks pretty bad ass with that bucket on it

[@brittfarms2018]

put the bucket on the exc, and maybe set the push blade on the bottom, and curl the bucket just a little and see if thatll help fix the bow.and with ithe pins in on the exc, that should keep the brackets from moving sideways .posibly

[@JohnDeere50d]

we have a skid steer with a power broom. we use half metal and half poly. poly then metal poly then metal and so on

[@loganbedard4905]

Haha! Did anyone else see the beaver face for a second and then it went to commercial? Lolol

[@justinandjacob9082]

Bill you should make a heated cab for the 110 so u don't freeze all winter

[@perryostroski5460]

love your videos

[@jakeschisler7525]

Also anytime welding to unit you should take of negative cable to battery so not to fry anything

[@nathanbrodeur]

Bill I think that you got those gloves when you bought your air hammer at John Deere

[@sparkyprojects]

What if you place a spreader plate in the bottom (so you don't bend it) put a jack on top, then heat the tube each side of the mounting plates, hopefully the mounts will stay parallel, you could add a G clamp to prevent them spreading. Overall effect should be that the tube looks more inline, with just the middle bit with a slight kink btw, Yorkshire IS in the north of England Wonder if that G Thomas is someone i've talked to here in South Wales, though there are a lot of Thomases in these parts.

[@billstmaxx]

+Sparky Projects actually i looked at it again and its bent in my favor.. it will be pulling against that bend when i curl the bucket

[@DieselRamcharger]

Just lay it out using a tape measure. Draw one line on your template paper, measure to your next point and go from there. Its easy!

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

Wish I was closer, I could direct you to a straightening job on the bucket,

[@customowing]

A pointed burring tool would make fast work of cutting those tack welds.

[@talfacprez]

It HAS to be cold where you are. If we get what our local TV weather call "Cold Canadian Wind", and I live in Oklahoma US, It REALLY has to be cold where you are for us to also feel it down here.

[@The756935]

Bill if you want to clean some snow come to fairfax Virginia were we are giting 30 inches of snow all weekend

[@noahlechner1036]

+joseph bond Yea haymarket Va #snowmageddon.

[@MrOly0001]

on the heat warpage just close one eye and it so bad lol lol lol(i cant believe u welded it with it just tacked, nice job(oh btw ur fired)

[@billstmaxx]

+oly o cant fire myself sorry

[@maplemanz]

Just curious ? Why do you need such a wide bucket?this will put a tremendous twisting forces in your boom and bucket,which will eventually lead to cracks.I have a KX41-3

[@prestoncomans9733]

hey Bill have you thought about building a rake for the mini ex I think it would work really well on the mini ex

[@CalMUK91]

I wouldn't worry about the bucket being snug, if it was loose it would walk and pivot when scraping.

[@DavidsVlog]

That's some major warping bill 😕 try a scissor Jack to bend it straight at least with that you will have control buddy :)

[@DavidsVlog]

use a piece of wood to spread the load and a scissor Jack to slowly straighten the bucket whilst applying heat

[@GeorgeGardinier]

what would chuck2009 do to fix the weld. you know what he would say, i think you watch him

[@billstmaxx]

+George Gardinier he'd likely cut it out and re make it

[@aemt1131]

+BILLSTMAXX :) Could always cut the pipe loose, rotate it so the bend is on the top and re weld.

[@thinkford]

I wonder if your going to get some of that winter storm south east of you sounds nasty!

[@Waiakalulu1]

I'm wondering if it will bend back when it's used some?

[@bennyrlove]

don't do nothing - you will be pulling against the bend when scraping - it will straighten then.

[@johngunn8117]

Bill you should get a plow on the front of your truck then why you were out doing the snow you would have heat and not have to wear all that gear

[@natenan5598]

Be a little cold or get a 3 to 10 thousand dollar plow I think he'll just stay cold and use what he has already.

[@billstmaxx]

+John Gunn ya but i done want to mess the front end of the truck up that's normally what happens to them

[@GrifFungin]

Do you own that house you live in or is it part of the compensation you receive for working at the cemetary?

[@talfacprez]

I think somebody wants Sarah to knit you a something John Deere and Kubota for you to wear.

[@James-uc2nd]

+talfacprez and stihl

[@GTFarming]

lol

[@stm5430]

Bill what are you using the bucket for?

[@TheOfficialRobbieTaylor]

Bill can the massive drill bit actually drill, can you make a short video on it

[@natenan5598]

I don't think his drill press could handle it it's probably around 2 inches maybe 3 in diameter.

[@billstmaxx]

+The Official Robbie Taylor likely would if i had a massive lathe

[@TheOfficialRobbieTaylor]

oh right ok

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

Bill, I almost bet in time, it will correct itself, 1/4 '" is really not that bad, now if it was an inch, I would be a little concerned. Let's just wait until you make it sweat a little and re - measure it.

[@guypenryn7008]

Hi bill does your wife use pure sheep wool straight off the sheep?i have a pet ram who thinks he's a dog I have got to shear but wounds red if you would like the fleece?

[@tim.m3293]

You could heat it up and straighten it with the press

[@callumsloan2983]

Hey billstmaxx I know what you should do with all the John Deere stuff you get in mail you should think of making a John Deere room for dilly ans also paint the room

[@stevenreissr1938]

Bill.... not good to use pipe for supporting edges, or in a place for strength...... always bends ........ flat bar (on edge), angle, or some sort of boxed steel would have been much better

[@GTFarming]

On camera that orange looked like kubota orange but IRL it looked Florescent but glad she liked it and in a way Aly liked the pink lol

[@1armedguy4]

Why would'nt hold the air grinder vertically in order to grind away the tacks ? Or use a 4 or5 inch electric grinder !!

[@billstmaxx]

+1armedguy could but the bolt that holds the blade was in the way

[@compactc9]

28:03 The McBeaver sandwich! That sounds so wrong in so many ways...

[@jameshurney4411]

+Billstmaxx should u have beacons on the big tractor

[@SledgeHammer43]

you need to get some salt before the US Eastern coast eats it all up. Washington DC is calling for 30 inches

[@DagonNaxos]

A bottle jack and a 2X6

[@swampratt36]

Buddy i love your vids but just aint got time to watch a hour long movie...ever consider doin a lil editing to get to the meat of the show instead of all the dialogue? Still subd n no flame intended just a suggestion. Thanks.

[@TheZwerfer14]

These brushes of your sweepthing cant you order them from somewhere else? Because maybe JD also buys it from xx manufacturer. Or they are ''smart'' and ''unique'' and make it so its a bit different :(:(:(

[@billstmaxx]

+TheZwerfer14 likely so i need a part number to look them up

[@josephspiteri2792]

Are you going to spray it orange like the mini ex

[@gopha533]

you got a burr for that air grinder?

[@robertreed3373]

fully weld it all then see if it pulls back

[@plowtruckdriver]

why not get a cab for the small deere and heat for the winter then take it off in the summer

[@ezrasmith3893]

BILL DID YOU EVER GET MY PACKAGE IT HAD MAPLE SYRUP IN IT

[@billstmaxx]

+Ezra Smith oh crap yes i did im so sorry i didn't vid it.. i do have it here tho... my bad sorry

[@ezrasmith3893]

+BILLSTMAXX :) thank you I've been wondering for 6 months

[@signptr]

So, you warped the shovel, big Deal, it still works as is. maybe when you aligned the mounting flanges you possibly pushed down with the machine. I think you're just being hard on yourself.

[@daniellabarre6078]

Billstmaxx I have some questions for u

[@SledgeHammer43]

they last twice as long Bill

[@alexfilms1463]

Does he own the kubota

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

We're supposed to get snow today: 2-4 centimeters! :-/

[@kylecimino3690]

I want snow but I live by the gulf of Mexico

[@billstmaxx]

+Kyle Cimino may get a blue moon first?

[@kylecimino3690]

+BILLSTMAXX :) yes but my mom hates it because it makes me out of control

[@jakeschisler7525]

Why don't you put a plow on your truck

[@rodneyperry2490]

A beaver is just a large rat.

[@theeasterntexan]

Hey bill what happened to flying Friday?

[@tmanmudder9517]

Prolly too cold for flying.

[@tmanmudder9517]

I wouldn't fly a rc thing in winter because it's too cold

[@billstmaxx]

+Taylor Lomax to much hate on them i was quite surprised on the response i received

[@theeasterntexan]

oh okay. What drone do you have

[@theeasterntexan]

BILLSTMAXX :)
