Using an I-beam, chains, a bottle jack, and eventually forklift forks, he attempts (through trial and error, two setups, and manual measurements) to press the bucket lip flat, ending with roughly a quarter-inch improvement. Useful for owners with similarly warped buckets looking for a homemade straightening method, not tractor shoppers.
Posted by the w8bya channel, an owner sharing a hands-on DIY fix filmed on a cell phone with no professional production.
The owner's bucket bowed from years of back dragging dirt, leaving gouge marks on the sides while the middle never touched the ground.
Set an I-beam above the bucket, chain the bucket up to it, and press down on the center with a bottle jack, using boards to spread the force.
Yes, though not perfect. The final result was still off by about a quarter inch each way, but much better than the original bow.
