Unhooking a loader bucket?

Posted by Randy on April 01, 2004 at 13:10:55 from (208.44.151.58):

Ive got an old Shawnee front end loader on my 300U. Its real big and heavy and the bucket is probably the heaviest part of it. The loader is also bent, so when the bucket is down one end of it is up about 4 inches. The bucket is about 4 foot wide and made out of 1/4 inch plate and thicker in other areas. Its held on with pins, including the cylinder in the middle.
I can probably get it off with no problem, driving the pins out with a hammer. What I'm worried about is that I'll never get it lined up again to get it back on. Does anyone have some ideas before I do this? Sure would be nice to lighten the old girl up a little and not have that big bucket out front when I'm doing other things like brush hogging.
