Check other side ,looks like you may have crack there
Can using the teeth on my bucket to break up concrete with the bucket curled all the way back cause damage to the pins or other parts?
Seems like you do it similar to most of the rest of us if you're breaking up slabs that you can lift a corner of just lift em' and shove something under the corner then come down on the center of it with the heel of the bucket... saves you teeth this wayCan using the teeth on my bucket to break up concrete with the bucket curled all the way back cause damage to the pins or other parts?
I'm not an expert welder but what do you guys all think about 7018 on AC?
Buy 7018 for AC if not it's hard to weld normal 7018 AC but possible. 1/8 120 amps or soI'm not an expert welder but what do you guys all think about 7018 on AC?
Had a good long welding session on Sunday and buried a bunch of 7018. No support plates at the moment but should hold up just till I finish a few more tasks, then pull the bucket off for the winter, get it powerwashed and inside and go for a much more intensive repair.
Thank you all very much once again,

I think it comes down to the machine. Some machines don't like it, (like mine). I have better luck with 6011.
Welded into the dark and it's been raining & snowing ever since.No photos?
Why not fix it right the first time? I would have beveled if from the outside, pushed it together and welded the inside first. You could put a couple extra passes to add extra meat on the inside. Then grind from the outside into the root of the weld from the inside to insure 100% penetration. Taking the bucket off and putting it on its side would make it easier to weld the outside up. If you have any slag pockets or lack of fusion could be a potential source for new cracks. Preheat around 300-400 deg's. is sufficient.
