Could you torch the holes then clean them up?

That is currently what I am thinking I will do as a back up. But I will try to drill them first.

I also have a 3/8" x ~4" cutting edge off of my snowplow.

I may weld this on first. I am not sure, but I think my L/LA463 cutting edge is 1/2" thick. This would give me a 7/8" thick edge to bolt the teeth onto. But the bobcat teeth only have a .650" opening. I am going to need .875" IF the LA463 edge is 1/2" and .750 if the edge is 3/8"

But I found this place

They list 22 different bolt on "unitooth" teeth. Varying sizes and openings. As well as price, $12 up to $20+. But some of them dont list the opening, so I am going to have to call them in the morning.

Decisions, decisions????

I have to measure, but If MY edge is 1/2", I will probabally just buy the $10 each bobcat style and use a 1/8" washer to fill the rest of the opening and be done.

The LA463 is not a real strong loader compared to some. So I will take my chances, but I dont think I will be able to bend it even with bolt on teeth.

Are Excavator Buckets Universal? Which Bucket Fits My Digger?

When it comes to fitting excavator buckets and attachments, many operators wonder if there is a universal standard that applies to all machines. This guide will address the common question of whether excavator buckets are universal and provide a detailed explanation of how to determine the right bucket for your specific digger. By understanding the intricacies of bucket fitments and the essential measurements required, you can ensure that you select the correct equipment for your excavator, optimising performance and efficiency on the job site.

Are Excavator Buckets Universal?

In short; no, excavator buckets are not universal. However, there are times where machine fitments are often crossed over, so buckets that fit on one excavator will also work on other excavators. For example, a standard JCB 801 bucket, will fit on a standard Kubota KX36 machine, or a Bobcat X335 will also fit a Volvo ECR58 machine. To complicate matters further, when you start to look at larger excavators, such as 12 ton and 20 ton machines, they are often fitted with a hydraulic quick couplers which feature a travelling latch. This means that the buckets that can be used on this machine are almost always universal, as the hydraulic hitch will pick up the slack between the pin dimensions of different sized buckets.

Which Bucket Will Fit My Digger?

To determine which buckets and attachments fit your excavator, you need to know the pin dimensions of your machine. Specifically, you must measure three dimensions: Pin Diameter, Pin Centres, and Dipper Gap. For this, you will need an excavator bucket or attachment that you know fits your machine, along with a tape measure or ruler. We recommend using a measuring device that can measure in millimetres (mm) for greater accuracy. When purchasing buckets, attachments, or hitches from a manufacturer, these pin dimensions will be requested to determine the precise model that will fit your mini digger or excavator. If you don't have an attachment available, follow the steps in the video below to learn how to measure your excavator without any buckets.

How To Measure Pin Dimensions

Measure the Pin Diameter

Measuring the pin diameter is straightforward. Take one of the pins you currently use to attach your digger bucket and measure its widest part. The easiest way to do this is with a set of vernier callipers, but you can also use a tape measure or ruler. Alternatively, you can measure the inside of the hole on the hanger. Keep in mind that if the bucket is well-used, there may be a few millimetres of wear.

Measure the Dipper Gap

The dipper gap is the internal measurement between the bucket hangers, where the main arm of the digger and your bucket link fit. Measure the smallest internal size, usually found between the bosses. The easiest way to do this is with a tape measure or ruler. You can also measure the outside width of the bucket link, but this method can be less accurate due to wear, so use it only if absolutely necessary.

Measure the Pin Centres

The final measurement you need is the pin centres, which is the distance between the centres of the two bucket pins. The easiest way to measure this is with a ruler or tape measure. Instead of estimating the centre of the pins, measure from the front edge of one pin to the front edge of the other pin.
