BUCKET LATCH PLATE INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE

Material to be welded is low carbon, grade 50
steel; use welding rods marked 6011 or compa-
rable.
CAUTION
Good quality welds are necessary for new plates
to be properly retained. Use a professional weld-
er if required.
2. Turn the bucket over and support it about
305 mm (12″) off the floor.
3. Cut the old lower retaining plates, 1, off the buck-
et and grind the area flat.
