Welding a new bushing into the hinge joint on a mini excavator bucket. After filming the video I realized that part of the reason for the failure was that there were no tabs to prevent the pin from turning independently from the bucket. It should ONLY hinge on the stick where the grease is injected. I welded those on the next day. I still have the curl bushings to do, but its useable now. A prior owner had welded washers in an effort to take the play out, but all they did was cut into the pins.
