Bucket info for Kubota L2773/1200 front loader

[markvan59]

Greetings Kubotans!

My siblings and I have inherited my Dad's L295DT from the 80s and we don't have a material bucket for the loader. I have a remnant of the old one with the mounting brackets and the back-side reinforcement still affixed. I might fab the ends, shell and cutting edge, if I can get a good bucket profile. Soooo... does anyone have one of these buckets they could make a tracing from the end plate of and mail to me? Better still would be a tracing of the INSIDE of the end plate, because I think I remember the endplate extending past the shell a bit. That would give me more accurate shell geometry. We can arrange fair compensation via Zelle or something. I don't know how you'd get an accurate scan of it, but an upload could be a possibility also.

Thanks for reading and any other help!

Pretty straight forward roundback bucket. If you have the skills and equipnent to fab a bucket should be easy to questimate dimensions.

Thanks for the opinion and the picture. You're loader is not like mine. Different people like to handle things different ways. I hope this same assumption doesn't keep someone from coming back with the reply I'm hoping for. I have zero desire to "questimate" dimensions.

I don't have one, but I'm unsure of what you have Vs. what you need?

Do you have a picture of what you have already?

Seems to me, that if you have the mounting bracket already, the "bucket shell" would be a rather "generic" design????

Post a picture of what you have, for anyone able to help you to see. Kubota often has round back and square back buckets for the same loader.

For guys wanting a picture... I'll be where the tractor is in a few days. BUT, a picture of what I have left is too wrecked to be of much use to sate anyone's curiosity. I don't see a need for it in order to fulfill my request. If you don't have a Kubota L2773/1200 front end loader, this post isn't asking anything of you. If you do, I'd like a tracing of the end plate - assuming you're willing. I'm not making any demands.

My nephew took a cutting torch and trimmed the wrecked bucket away from what's left a few years ago after my late brother and a cousin mangled it while using the tractor to load an old car onto a truck to be hauled away as scrap. I was steamed when I found out. Superfluous information.

I hope to get a tracing because I think the back of the bucket is formed such that it will help me orient the bracketry on a bucket fabbed to the same shape in such a way that I end up with the correct amount of tilt at each end of the curl cylinders' range. I don't want to be perpetually cutting and re-welding to make adjustments.

Yes, I can figure it out. There are multiple approaches. I know you guys are problem solvers. But I'm making a simple request that fits the approach I wish to pursue.

So, I'll get a picture or three soon. In the interim, suffice it to say a flat end view of the image I found here is about what I'm after:
