Reply:That eye is actually where a pin slides through in order to latch the bucket on,it's a quick hitch bucket. It's not under cut that area just hasn't been filled in after air arcing yet
Reply:oh ok i thought you were finished i was concerned of the stress on that area that caused the crack and that it will probably crack there againBacked my CATMA over your CARMA oops clusmy me  What would SATAN do ??

Reply:Upon further inspection and fitting it on the machine there is no room for gussets so it's just gonna have to be what it is. Denrep it's a JRB quick coupler

Reply:Originally Posted by 700RI can see them now that I quoted your OP and fixed them.  Posting the [IMG] codes in a sentence makes the post look like:picturepicturepicturepicturepicturepictureWhich just runs off to the side of the screen.  If you hit Enter between each picture, starting it on a new line, it looks like:picturepicturepicturepicturepictureWhere we can see them all.  Anyways, It looks good!
