How I Straightened My New Holland Boomer 45 Bucket
Overview
This isn't a review or walkaround, it's a DIY repair project where the owner fixes a bowed Boomer 45 bucket bent from years of back-dragging dirt. 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.
