home made jonny bucket

[can whlvr 994]

I fabbed up this bucket to see if the jonny bucket are feasable to me,and yes this thing is great,i used a small winch to lift with,at first i tried the manual lift,count lift it by hand,and my c160 auto is not working so this is what i came up with.When i get more time i will build a full steel one but this one works great.When i get my 160 fixed i will put a front tilt cylinder on also

OT, but how do you like the Honda power I think I see there?

I am a huge honda fan,ihave 3 kohlers and i love these engines,but the honda is very capable,this one is a 13hp,pull start, no battery,no electricalsystem like starters and coils,and soliniods,key switches,safty switches,which i say you must be very careful not to start in gear or it will take off!!!! i m iss the head lights in winter so i will have to use one of the electric starts with lights this winter.I snuck a battery in to operate tyhe winch,i just charge it once in a while.

Me too. 11hp in C-111 driving a 48" deck, no problem.

I want to build one, never thought of using wood though. Glad it works for you.
