345CL buckets on 345BL

xcavate ยท 2012-05-07 19:31

I have a both a 345cl and a 345bl that I would like to be able to interchange buckets with. The quick coupler on the BL is to small to accept the larger pin on the cl buckets. My 345cl doesnt have a coupler so we rarely change buckets on it. Any ideas that dont cost alot of money to get the cl buckets to work on my BL machine. I still want to be able to use the buckets on my cl.

    get 2 new pins to fit the bl and put a bushen on either side then it will pick up the bucket works for me or you could grind off a pin o a lathe and use a bushen on 1 side
