I went to drill my holes for the pins and I did not realize the pins are nonstandard size.
I had to order a 30 mm hole saw carbide tipped. It will be here tomorrow.

My quick attach plates are all cut out 3/8" plate the same size as the original.
I hope I have the quick attach laid out where it will work well.

I will tack weld the plates together before I drill so the pins fit well.
I am not set up very well for cutting 1/2" and 3/8" plate so it is taking a while to get these projects done.

I bought four weld on replaceable teeth for the new bucket. They are 156.
I received points when when I bought my pallet forks. I was able to get 5 bucket teeth for $7.50 shipped by using my points from my other purchase.
This was a great deal.



While I am waiting on my 30mm hole saw I started on my 16" bucket.
I have the front ½" plate cut out the top sides 3/8" plate and the back plate 3/8" plate.
I will cheat a little and I will use a 3 pipe on the top back so that will give me a good radius there.

My over 11' surplus steel is now 7' long and being used up.
It is a nice chunk of 3/8" steel.
