Hi folks,

I have an L3750 with the 4540a backhoe and would like to get a narrow bucket for trenching. It came with a wide heavy duty digging bucket.

Research would indicate that many standard buckets will fit the pin spread dimensions but that Kubota used a 1 3/4" x 12 7/16" pin part #70050-2422 with 3/8" "keeper bolts" and most standard buckets/machines use a 1.5" diameter bolt.

I do see that in the Kubota manual that there's a bushing from 1 3/4" to 1 1/2" part #70050-2038 that maybe was an option to size down to the standard 1.5"? But then I don't see a 1.5" pin in the parts list so maybe that was from a third party who supplied an implement with 1.5" hole dimensions?

Anyway - need some edumacation from the gurus on how to fit a smaller bucket and where to go looking for bucket and parts...
