Good luck. Find a toothed bucket and remove the teeth.

Not necessary to remove the teeth!
Weld a piece of cutting edge across the inside of teeth.
Then, at some point in the future (if using a Kubota brand bucket) you can drive the tooth pins out, (Kubota brand only) add new teeth, thus reverting to a tooth style bucket if you choose.

I have modified both my 16" and 24" buckets in this manner.
