Here's a few pics I've taken along the way...
The top pin is the one I made. It's 4130 that's heat treated. It's in the high 40s on the Rockwell C. Not the ideal material, but the price couldn't be beat!

The only measuring device I had that would measure 10" was a tape. I had to make four spacer/washers in this area, but them bitches fit like a glove. Two of them are .218 thick and the other two are .343 thick. The much thicker ones are 1.320. Everything worked out surprisingly well!

I made another spacer to go on that left side. The original coupler had a latch around that dog bone and these make up that difference.

That three foot bucket looks massive...my old two footer needs a new coupler welded on to fit the pin-on style x-change coupler, but I'll get around to that eventually.
