Don't get me wrong, y'all are great, but man-cub takes the cake when he does a project. You can tell his mind is going a billion times a second and if you can catch up to his speech, he has great, very detailed explanations of what he's doing and why at all times. Great stuff!!
I just reinforced my bucket and added a spill guard. My mods added 100 lbs to the weight of the bucket, but my tractor has enough hp and lifting capacity that I won't notice the extra weight. The small Kubota tractors use light weight buckets because they have a very low maximum lifting capacity and they are unstable when lifting at the max. The best buckets for those small tractors use thin but high quality steel with strengthening bends and folds in the steel. They are plenty of complaints on the tractor forums about how a heavy bucket made someone's Kubota useless so they had to buy a new light weight bucket.
Nice job Mancub, I was wondering why you did not use the plasma cutter to cut all the old bucket out? the only addition you could make to your new bucket is to put a spill guard on the top edge of the bucket. have a look at one of Paul and Cathy Short's video on this they make many parts for Kubota Tractors and the spill guard video is one which would be of interest for you.
Planned to build a spill guard. Just ran out of time on the video release date. I think they help protecting the hood of the tractors and and the bucket could hold more
Video idea.... a similar class of repair using just a cutting torch, angle grinder, and a stick welder. As much work repair is done with just those tools as with a shop full of might, jigs, ultra flat tables, and plasma equipment. Along the same lines... a repair that requires out of position welding.
WAIT TILL you put it in the Tractor! You Will NOTICE a difference ,Not for the better! Good luck, thats why those LIL tractors are made of LIGHT Weight materials. For your sake i hope it has a backhoe attachment
So, not for nothing, but the Kubota probably doesn't have the power for any of your upgrades to matter. That said, adding 1,000 pounds to the bucket probably makes the Kubota completely useless.
Buckets weights 280lbs. Lifting capacity is 1200lbs. You can shim your hydraulic pressure relief valve so you can pick up more weight. Have common sense when your doing that. Don't be imbecile..lol
Fishfind3000 i have 1 pump that driven off the crank that is bolted on the right side of the block. The hydraulic gear pump has approximately 1850 psi factory set.How i know that. I hook a hydraulic guage on the out flow of the gear pump to a line. Then look it up in the manual to compare psi. The kubota manual was 200 psi higher then my readings.Then I hook the hydraulic guage up to each line between each spool on the monoblock control valve because there is 2 pressure relief valves in my control monoblock and check them. My factory lines are rated for 4500psi. I am going to start at 2,000 psi and work my way up until I like it. I will stop around 3,000. I shim pumps before just by adding 200psi helps alot.
Just curious did that grinder have a deadman switch? The grinders with the On/off (vice deadman trigger) are DEADLY! ESPECIALLY using cutting wheel! I had one kick out of my hands and hit the inside of my leg where the femoral artery is - the deadman switch kept it from cutting me open!
@@FishFind3000 isn't that what you do with a rebuild and not a restore but either way is fine. I just think it would be better to replace the back and connecting brackets but its up to him and the owner of the tractor bucket
I would've fitted and tacked that narrow flat bar in first then tacked the square tubing against that. The bucket is much better now before it looked like crap, be sure to video the paint job, it's not done til painted. Also I prefer 95/5 with 70s.....
The only advantage to doing it this way is to have a good skeleton/frame for how to make it the exact same way to fit the loader. Other than that, why wouldn’t you just buy a new one for cheaper lol.
It is worth stressing that when using wire wheels, especially those "twisted, hard wire" variety seen here, a safety glasses is simply A MUST, period (and a full face mask is even a better idea). Those wheels have this nasty tendency of wires breaking off, especially toward the end of their service lives. And such piece of broken off wire has such a high energy that it can pierce not only through thick fabric (like in working clothes) but then through your skin as well. (I'm a big fan of those wheels, but I hate plucking the wires afterwards from my chest and belly.) Just imagine what will happen to your eye if one of them shrapnel hits it - KYEGB ("kiss your eye good-bye") would be , methinks the most likely outcome.

Great video love all the additional things you did. I have a chevy 350 engine block that is cracked in 2 places, of course from freezing, in my garage of all things. lol I would live to see you weld a cracked engine block or an engine block you cut just to weld it. I have been putting it off as I don't have any way to preheat other than a rosebud for a torch. Can you show me how you would go about welding this? C'mon I dare you.
I like the project but you have to learn how to slow down when talking. You seem like your trying to say everything in 2 seconds. SLOW THE ROLL DUDE!! The video is had to watch listening to you. Your a very good welder but a poor speaker. Have Bob tutor you.

Mike, not bad at all. Keep 'em coming, each one gets better! Doin' Uncle Bob proud!
Well worth doing. Impressive attention to detail.
You’re killing it ManCub! Keep it up, you’re good at what you do!
Excellent job.gr8 teacher. Not only the How aspect,but Why you do it this way.
I would have welded 2 or 3 grab hooks on the top for lifting with a chain.

you did a nice job on that bucket ManCub, bravo!
Nice job Mike! Looks great!
Square tube is square, but box tube can be square or rectangular.
You will have to put that bucket on a cat now, the kubota wont lift it empty.🤣

Really strong improvement, but agree w/Jesse on the grab hooks.
14:18 I can hear Bob yelling at you from here.
Welding to the welding table, you vandal
Uncle Bob would say fill in those low spots then go count rocks in the driveway.. 😅
I wonder why he never came back
Another great video good job
Damn good work man
Thanks
Bob is watching from the sky and judging that welding table abuse
Wait, what happened to Bob? I remember when he announced he was leaving but did I miss something?
Did Bob pass away?
Have also been wondering what happened to Bob.
You know bob's still alive, right? Not unless he died in the last couple months anyway.
@@jsn1252 how come he isn't in the movies anymore?
That bucket will now survive apocalyptic zombie attack!

“Rebuild” as in “nothing is the same as the original rebuild, like a 72 Corvette. We replace one thing at a time until it’s not an original.” Nice.
Yep. I don’t get why they don’t just build it brand new. It would take less time then trying to cobble together a wrong out one.
Liked the HSS idea for the header man cub. Looks sharp, maybe some weld on D-rings or lifting eyes? Just a thought.

@@mancubwelder7924 that’s gonna increase your change or killing three pump and blowing hoses/seals. And it won’t overcome the weight.
@@mancubwelder7924 Depending on pump, the relief may have zero affect.
@@FishFind3000 The pump and hoses wont be adversely affected... How did you conclude that?

this bucket is getting to be like George Washingtons axe, only replaced the handle 10 times and the head 3 times, but it is still the same axe!
You should do the back of the bucket and connecting brackets also
Then it will be completely new. Not a single piece left from the original.
@@FishFind3000 isn't that what you do with a rebuild and not a restore but either way is fine. I just think it would be better to replace the back and connecting brackets but its up to him and the owner of the tractor bucket
I wish I had a plasma cutter. What's a good one for a beginner?
I would've fitted and tacked that narrow flat bar in first then tacked the square tubing against that. The bucket is much better now before it looked like crap, be sure to video the paint job, it's not done til painted. Also I prefer 95/5 with 70s.....
What is your reasoning? Curious
At what point should you just build an all new bucket?
Probably at the point that @mancub started the rebuild. I guess if you have the steel and the time....
The only advantage to doing it this way is to have a good skeleton/frame for how to make it the exact same way to fit the loader. Other than that, why wouldn’t you just buy a new one for cheaper lol.
@5:19 these tacks look pretty shitty? LOL

wait why was the "scrap" so big
great welding , hey ManCub what about some small refined jobs Tig welding miss matched metals.
Define mismatch tho.
Miss match copper to stainless, titanium to stainless!
They already did titanium to stainless long time ago.

Done that before. Grew up in old school automobile machine shop. There different types of filler metal you can use.
You need to get up with me boy.
75:25, co2:argon or argon:co2? thanks in advance
