This photo is a small sample of the machining of tools and (I don't know how to call this) the bolt heads that block the hydraulic cylinders and prevent them from leaving their housing



In this case, I needed to make the holes in that piece to place the locking tab




and these are some of the heads of those bolts that I mentioned before, ready to paint (I hate painting)



Before moving on to the painting phase, I still had to install some type of wear protector that has the bucket behind it ... I don't know the exact name of this piece, there are a lot of types and it's difficult choose, in fact at the beginning select a model and at the last moment, change to this one, that was more complex, but hey, in the end both would have been good
I'm going to put these bars



here


This part will seem silly, but it has cost me a lot to do it, since the bars are very close, in the end I did it by spot welding (a friend lent me an industrial welder) sorry i didn´t take photos after the welding

Now, we go to the painting:
All the pieces have several layers of primer and the same layers of paint












Now it's the turn of the bucket piston



and once without masking tape





The next thing is to mount the "denture" to the bucket
