[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 77593, member: 3290"] Hey ant, yes, it was way cheaper than buying one. And what fun would it be to just buy one?!? I am a stong believer in “fabrication therapy”. LOL!! We (Dad & I) actually built 2, one for the 440b and one for the 773. The cylinders were $100 each, the bucket teeth were $18 each (3 per bucket), the hoses and fitting were roughly $50 per hoe, the rest we built. Dad ordered up $600 of new steel (shop stock), of which we had a lot left over. We likely have about $500 in materials tied up in each one, if you include things like bucket cutting edge, etc. that we already had left over from other projects. Cheers - SR [/QUOTE]
