Beautiful work, brother.

Thanks!

You were smart to leave the cylinders connected to the bucket for the reseal job, it makes it much easier to work on.👍

[@dmsentra]

Works good. I used the same techniques years ago to repair a car haul trailer that was in a wreck. Fairly mangled and after I got done you couldn't tell anything had happened.

Nice work sir! Quality work and also quality video production.

[@chrislindquist2003]

Nice job. As always, a great video with great narration and explanations. Keep it up bub!

[@hectorcalderon3011]

The marking is ingenious I need to do that I'm always straightening something and it drives me crazy I never know when I have passed the previous point good idea thanks

[@AlwaysBored123]

Glad it helped. You can also measure how far out your hydraulic ram is if you're using one.

[@Matt.Jungfleisch]

Well done, getting it done the right way.

[@theessexhunter1305]

good fix on the bucket, UK fabricator watched it.

[@TractorWrangler01]

Well done.

[@grahamcifuentes4451]

The long way round, but it did the job nicely!

[@grasub1]

The bottom lips where the front meets the back are worn - these should overlap and this will support the front when carrying load. Build up both lips.

[@AlwaysBored123]

It's not worth the time and effort to build up a skid steer bucket. If that cutting edge ever wears back to the bucket skin I'll cut it out and replace it.

Nice work bro

[@terrytenley9327]

Ever think the bottom of the bucket has to thin of steel.. ? I hope that the bucket does not bend again.. Nice job..

[@AlwaysBored123]

I think it's probably fine for it's intended use but I guess we'll see.

[@chrisoakey9841]

Have you considered welding a pipe under the v in the bottom of the bucket then a plate so it is flat underneath? This will significantly stiffen the bottom of the bucket.

[@AlwaysBored123]

@@chrisoakey9841 That would be good but I would have to cut out the plate that's already there and I don't think it's strictly necessary. These things do fine as long as you don't abuse them.

[@MyChannel-d2e]

You have the coolest vids man, how did you record audio at the end with the drone footage? Did you have a mic I’m guessing?

[@AlwaysBored123]

Thanks. Yeah I just had a mic on the skidsteer.

[@alphonsotate2982]

4 in one are nice

[@UncleWillie]

I recognize that track.

[@smplyizzy]

Question: did you pull out that pin out with the slide hammer by screwing into grease zerk hole?

[@AlwaysBored123]

@@smplyizzy No the grease fitting for those pins is on the base of the cylinder. There is a separate threaded hole just for pulling them.
