I recently purchased a Paulson front end loader to put on my WD-45. When the loader was delivered to the pick up point, the guy I bought it from said he could not find the bucket that was supposed to be with it. So I am stuck with trying to locate a bucket and they seem to be very hard to find. I called the Paulson company and they said they could make me a new one for $611 plus shipping and that it would take at least several weeks to get it. Since the loader was only $200 I'm not saure I want to go that route. I was thinking about the possibility of making my own bucket. Paulson would not give me any specs on the bucket.
Has anyone out there ever built their own bucket, and if so could you provide me with a little info such as what kind and thickness of steel to use, any tips about welding or any onfo on how to determine pivot point for the trip bucket operation? Also, does anyone have or can anyone get photos of a Paulson 40 inch bucket. Finally, if anyone knows of a used bucket that fits the bill and that is reasonably close to East TN. I could use that info also. Not asking for much, huh? Thanks in advance. Rick
