That bucket sure has seen some use! What's the repair procedure? Will the entire flange be replaced, or just a portion?

The pin diameter is 60mm, and the bucket is for a VOLVO EC160.

Here's the EC160 bucket repair, tightened up the holes a little, welded the pins in place, and welded a cover plate on each side.

That will be taking a quick hitch for sure. Tom thats a good way to not only fix a mess but to improve the bucket doing by it. Good job
