Thats thinking outside the box. Just finding a clamp to take the pressure is the hard part.

Shouldnt be hard for any non cheapo clamp. Yeah that is a heavy duty one i happen to have.
Considering all other ideas though it would be work the price of a clamp.
The square tubing is thick wall too.
I knew better than to scrap that 4 years ago.

Nice!


I will have to remember this trick when I get around to straightening mine.

I might do something similar with mine when I also get around to straightening it out. It's been an extra difficulty working on this project, lots of FEL work with back dragging. We've moved about 25 tons of 3/4 minus gravel into our 85'x25' turnout area attached to our barn.

Yours would be very easy to get straight. Mine was bent big time. I done alot of work with that bucket and never bent it. Let someone else on it and bam.

Add "No you can't use my tractor"
As the list grows

You can insure additional strength by adding one of these. Two bolts and it's on!
