I am in search of attachments for 330cl excavators, D linkage. It seems the DB linkage on the newer 330 d's and possibly 336's have a 10mm larger pin diameter but similar bucket ear dimensions.

Has anyone ever tried weld boring db linkage buckets to fit the old d linkage?

Ultimately what I need is some good CAT d linkage attachments if any available for sale.

You can use bushings to size the holes down, but they are thin, and prone to break up. You can also bore the holes out larger and use thicker bushings. The ears and spacing are the same, so other than pin size it will work.
