[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 8317, member: 82"] I have an older style hoe that i am going to re-build a bit. I want to make a few new buckets and was considering modifying the existing setup to the same basic style as the new buckets. The setup it has now has the bucket curl ram attach directally to the bucket. and it has a pivot pin that that holds the bucket to the arm. I thought the later style basically have an adapter that has the pivot point and ram attaching and that entire *adapter plate* attaches to the bucket. Is this correct or is it just for specific machines? The only reason i want to do it this way is to prevent me having to pull 2 greased pins out in dirty/sandy soil to replace a bucket then keep it all clean then re-grease before i can use it again. I'm probably being silly as i bet i won't change buckets often but its an option and then i don't need to make multiple adapter plates to weld to the new buckets. I bought a mill last week so i can bore the holes out on the rams and install bushings. I have wanted a mill for so long, when i get some tooling made i will be making plenty of metal chips :) I just need to get the Morse taper cutting sorted out, its not as easy as it looks to get the angle spot on! I think i need to build a jig for the lathe, they want $600 for one in the shops!!! [/QUOTE]
