Excavator Bucket Rebuild Walk-Through

This Caterpillar bucket from a Cat 325 Excavator was rebuilt from the ground up, including the sides, grouser bars and wear block (to be installed). The shanks were also built up with weld to prolong their life. http://www.ifitjams.com/bucket.htm

if wanna save on the wear on lip or cutting edge, you can take a dozer track pad split them butt the grazer up against the lip in between the shanks and weld it on top and underneath... it will wear a long time... but if its a rebuild i'm sure they wouldnt like that, if you gonna paint and sell lol... oh like the 6in rolled striped, they wear a long time like that..

better off putting arrow head segments between the adaptors easy to replace than re building the edge

@KFCHambone Looks like it was fluxcore or dual shield 045

what type of welding rod do you usually use to weld those AR 400 plates on?

im going through the same deal right now on a 330 bucket. one comment though. hard facing the cutting edge causes the edge to loose its temper and will cause it to crack under stress. it is always best to either replace the edge or weld on wear plates rather than hard face. great fab though!
