    I got it welded up. It is a lot tighter now. Thanks to everyone for the help.

    Actually it is closer to 5/16.

    Grapple Bucket pops off 2013 299D

    It looks like I have 3/16 inches of wear to build up. Not as much as I thought.

    Grapple Bucket pops off 2013 299D

    I talked to CAT. Their drawing says the top angle is 40 degrees. The length is 353.7mm from the top of the top angle to the center of the pin--squared to the side of the plate.

    Grapple Bucket pops off 2013 299D

    Is there a drawing for the CAT mounting plate--not the implement? I can probably do the cardboard template but it would be easier if there was a drawing already done.

    I keep staring at that drawing. I get more confused the longer I look at it.

    My pins look ok. Fully locked down they are a little over an inch. Is that about right?

    Grapple Bucket pops off 2013 299D

    I've cut it and have been fine tuning it to get a proper fit. I have my levers up as far as they will stay. Are my pins in a normal position here or should they be flush?

    If I read the diagram correctly it is 15 7/8. Right about where I am shooting for.

    I am going to cut this weld and the other weld on the other side, bend the whole bottom plate down to around 15 inches and reweld it. Sound like a plan?

    I measured this distance on my stump bucket and it was around 15 inches. My grapple is 16 inches. This pictures shows the bottom of the grapple bucket.

    OK. My lock down levers I can lock down with a finger. They are very well greased but maybe not enough spring pressure?

    That looks like a good start.

    Grapple Bucket pops off 2013 299D

    So if I hammer on the bottom of the pins and there is no play the springs are good?

    I'm not sure how it looks relative to a new one. I've been using the hell out of my stump bucket lately and it never comes off.
