The bucket (L1750) on my LA480 loader, shall we say, has some character. The inside corners are rusted out, the top has a nice frown and a split but it is still useful. I may try to weld some plates on to keep it going. But, I have been thinking about replacing it--probably with a used one from a salvage yard. Finding a bucket cross-reference chart has been impossible. Can anyone suggest bucket models that fit on an LA480 loader?

I'm assuming your loader isn't skid steer quick attach? If not, the first thing I'd do is install SSQA. Then your options for other tools, as well as buckets, is almost endless.
Otherwise, you could hire a good welding shop to cut and weld the ears to fit your loader.
