I got a quote the other day for a professional shop to overhaul the bucket, $2280.
This seemed a bit much, and I set about straightening it. I got started but the crack was snagging and I had to go do some work.
Fast forward and I need to do a big job with the 120. I did not want to take a cracked bucket, so I cut the crack so it would pass freely and heated and docked it out straight-ish.
Sorry, no weld pictures. I will get those later. The bucket gets a 3/8" by 2" armor wear plate right under that crack.
