First of... More??
I mentioned about a year ago maybe building a few of these that were cub sized. About 2 months ago a guy, very interested in my larger version, wanted one for his JD 425.
So here we are, building my first authentic version of the R-Bucket. I actually have two models drawn up, the one currently in production is a RB-46. It is Super Garden Tractor sized at 46" wide. I have a request for a garden tractor sized model that will be around 38" wide. Hence the model number would be RB-38. I am building templates to speed up the process of production, so in the event somebody requests one, it can be done in a reasonable time frame. ANYWAY, Keith (Nightow1) and I picked up the sheet metal last night and cut out the sides and main bucket. Today we went to a near by welding shop to get material for Keiths 3pt and the R-Bucket. While we were there we had the bucket heal bent. We then tack welded the sides on and started prepping the center pieces. Keiths daughter has picked up the hydraulic cylinder, hoses, and fittings at surplus center, that stuff should be here on Sunday! Here is where we are currently! ... Stay Tuned!

This afternoon turned into a mildly progressive one. Got the frame started on and slots cut in the bucket. A good majority of the time was spent building a jig to uniformly cut out the slots in the bucket for the frame and cylinder. Once finished the jig made quick work of cutting the openings.

Worked on the R Bucket a bit last night. Started to built the frame rails for the bucket. Got all the angles figured out, built a jig to cut them, and recorded all the measurements.
This is one of the two rails required for attaching the bucket to the frame. Hopefully there will be time tonight to make the othr rail, then glue them to the bucket and give it a rang of motion test. Started out with box tubing and ended up with this...

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
