Reply:Very Nice work. I get farmers that go to auctions and buy backhoe bucket that don't fit the boom , the pins aren't spaced right, or pin holes are different than what they need. So they come to me to make the bucket fit their backhoes.  I also Have bought several different buckets and converted them over to fit my Ford New Holland 555E backhoe.Co-Own CNC shop:Miller :1251 plasma cutter, MaxStar 700 TIG/Stick, & XMT 456 Multiprocess Welder.&  2 Hypertherm HPR260's Plasma CutterSorry I had a bad stroke but now I am back.

Reply:How crucial are the pin pivot points?Do you align them to the machine(taking into account wear, bending, etc), or just make sure they're trammed/aligned as the bucket sits(ie., like a brand new bucket)?  Hope I phrased that right.I'll never do anything this size, but it's always a source of worry when I fix an old part that's been on a piece of equipment for a long time."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
