Hello all,
The original bucket on my b1630 loader was at the end of the road. The previous owner i believe narrowed the bucket to 42 inches and was shy of useless with a badly worn edge.
I found a 48" quick attach bucket at a local dealer for a bx series tractor and figured i would make it work. A new one custom built was 1200 dollars plus shipping. This bucket was substantially cheaper. A friend of mine has a plasma table so making brackets was simple enough. He even found the kubota file and cut it into the bracket for me.
We cut off some of the factory brackets. I ended up going the pin on route. I have no desire or any other attachments that i would use a quick attach setup for. Keeping it simple was my goal. The brackets were cut from 1/4" plate and closely matched the factory setup. I wouldnt be happier. This bucket holds easily 2x's what the previous bucket held. All it needs now is some paint.
If anyone is interested in these brackets let me know.
