donnyc 1,203 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Just wanting some more buckets for my mini digger ..I know my pin sizes and the width between the ears its the size between the pin centres Im concerned with ..Are they critical? As one pin is fixed but the other could go up or down in size well I think it can as its swivels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suffolkpoacher 219 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 what make digger mate as they can vary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
donnyc 1,203 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Its an old powerfab but all diggers are the same as far as I can see ..two pins on bucket but ones fixed the other isnt ..Just wanted to know if it was a critical measurement bettween the pins.The way Im thinking is it could either extend the bucket from opening and closing or restrict it ..awkward to explain really ..The buckets Im looking at the pins centre to centre are 95mm the one on my bucket mearsure 140mm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suffolkpoacher 219 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 i can see what your saying think it would restrict it when curling the bucket up maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
donnyc 1,203 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Thats what I thought but I dont think it would be enough to really affect it ..Think Ill buy them anyway as they are cheap ..Worst way would be to plasma cut two off and reweld back at the exact size Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suffolkpoacher 219 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 if there cheap try it and see what happens but as you say you could allways just reweld it ,best of luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcher-lad 2 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 or you could just sell her to me ?? lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nakednutt 58 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 it does matter donny. you could cut them and re weld them but it aint worth the hassle imo. you need the pin diameter, dipper and pitch size to get the right bucket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
