I might be asking a dumb question, but here goes: The cutting edge for my loader bucket has worn to the point of needing replacement. I actually bought it this way knowing I'd have to change it at some point. What's on the bucket now looks like something Mickey and Goofy might have come up with and then welded the daylights out of it top and bottom. Looking around at my "inventory", (my wife refers to it as something else!!) I've come across an old Fisher plow that appears to have a sufficient enough length and straightness of cutting edge that might just fit the bill. Would this type of steel be suitable for this application? Can I grind the welds from the one that's worn out and bolt my salvaged plow edge to the bottom of the bucket with Grade 8 carriage bolts? Most of the work this machine does is light duty grading of my gravel driveway, the occasional pile of loam that needs to be relocated and snow removal. Thanks in advance for any info and help with this.....
