Tractor buckets take constant abuse—from digging, lifting, and everyday farm work. We recently completed a tractor bucket repair in London, Kentucky, fixing a torn lower edge and damaged mounting section to get the equipment back in service.

At McCarty Fabrication, we provide tractor and heavy equipment repair in London, Corbin, and across Laurel County, KY, helping farmers and contractors keep their equipment working.

The Problem: Torn Bucket Edge and Damaged Mount

This tractor bucket came in with:

  • A torn section along the lower edge

  • Bent and deformed steel around a mounting/bracket area

  • Wear from regular use and stress

If left alone, this kind of damage will:

  • Continue tearing further

  • Weaken the structure of the bucket

  • Lead to more costly repairs or replacement

The Repair Process

For tractor bucket repairs, the goal is to restore strength and reinforce weak points so it holds up to real work.

1. Straightening & Prep

  • The damaged section was pulled and straightened back into position

  • Cracked and torn areas were cleaned and prepped

  • Steel was ground to ensure solid weld penetration

2. Rebuilding the Damaged Area

  • Torn sections were rebuilt with new steel where needed

  • The mounting area was reshaped and reinforced

  • Fit-up was done to ensure everything lined up properly

3. Welding & Reinforcement

  • Welded for full strength and durability

  • Reinforced the area to prevent repeat failure

  • Built to handle real-world use—not just look good
