TunaSlayet 88 #1 Posted December 7, 2015 Here are some action shots of my loader bringing in some fire wood for the winter. Always surprises me what the little guy can do. For those who are on the fence about getting a wh loader, it was a sound investment for me, and has save me a lot of hard work. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #6 Posted December 7, 2015 I have a laptop so turning it upside down is easy, but my wife thinks I am looking at a centerfold when I turn it 90* 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TunaSlayet 88 #7 Posted December 8, 2015 Hahah! I know. I have no excuse either. I can't figure out why it posts them upside down. The tractor has a M20. Just ordered a louvre red hood, and LSE decals. I'll try this again... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TunaSlayet 88 #13 Posted December 9, 2015 I know, the bucket had a decent bow when I bought it. I had tried straightening it with a steel beam, some large clamps, and a floor jack, and it worked for a while. It seems to bend again after moving a few yards of crushed stone. Out of ideas here? If anyone knows a way of keeping the cutting edge true, please fill me in. I have already added gussets to the top deflector to add strength, but I think the whe bucket is just kinda weak.

doc724 925 #14 Posted December 9, 2015 If you want to keep the cutting edge true, weld another 1/2 thick plate of the same width as the original cutting edge under the existing one. The section modulus (geometric property) of the cutting edge is a cubic function of the thickness and a linear function of width. If the original cutting edge is 1/2 in thick, adding another 1/2 inch will increase its resistance to bending by 8 times 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,049 #15 Posted December 9, 2015 If you do weld a plate to the bucket proceed with caution, Stitch weld it, skipping two inches for each inch of weld. If you were to do a continuous bead of weld it would cause it to warp. Even if you clamped it to something sturdy the heating on one side will cause it to warp. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
