Trenching bucket build

I needed to dig a trench to run electrical to my pool for the filter. I had been using a long extension cord and I was tired of moving it every time I needed to mow the grass. So I built this trenching bucket for my 644 LBH.

Last pics for the trenching bucket build. All the metal was 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" except for the cutting edge which was 1". The bucket is the same size as stock Case bucket except for the width which is 9". I only used it one day but it will be used more this summer when I plan to dig trenches to run pvc drainage piping.

Yes the cardboard templet was copied from my wider case bucket that was on the 644lbh when I purchased it.
