Decided to spruce up the bucket with some red paint to resemble the ESCO bucket I duplicated some before this weekends "Big Dig" at the National Pike Show. Last time out at the Cabin Fever Expo, I had trouble seeing my bucket with the lighting there. There are still wear plates and better teeth that need made on this bucket but that will come some day.

After years of searching I picked this little gem up this week. It took a long time to find just one but now I have two. One for each side of the boom.
These are actual porcelain enamel signs Bucyrus-Erie had on their Bulldozer cable controls from the 1940's - 50's





Here is the other one I have
