Also not yours does as mine where the weight of the bucket rolls it back when parked. Piddly poor over heavy mechanism!!
Yikes,It made quick work of clearing an overgrown waterway. Unfortunately, the garbage 4-1 bucket let me down when I was a little overzealous with a black locust. I’m really not too excited to try and fix it. Anyone know of some good salvage yard leads?View attachment 187345View attachment 187346View attachment 187347View attachment 187348
wow lotsa new tooffiesView attachment 189091 View attachment 189092 View attachment 189093 In the midst of not having the time to work on it, I perused Rock and Dirt and found something I needed...
It looks as though that weld was done with solid wire and a mig machine. I have never liked a mig for work of that type. Have had a lot better luck with dual shield wire or using 7018 or 8018 for those types of repairs. Those little dimples on the end of the bead steup stress concentrators.
You may have better luck than me with those types of repairs though.

nige wish i had seen this post a couple days ago before i put this back together. thanks can use that idea in futureToo late for this repair I know, but it may prove useful to somebody in future....
Welding to the open end of a plate it's obviously difficult to avoid stress risers when starting and stopping a weld bead. Run out tabs tacked on to the plate at one or both ends of the weld allow both the arc to be struck and for each weld bead to be terminated outside the boundaries of the structure that is being welded. The tabs get cut off afterwards using a grinder with a cutting disc. The length of the tab, highlighted in yellow, should be as a minimum equal to the thickness of the plate being welded and preferably closer to double the thickness.
