Backhoe bucket parts?

[countrybumpkin]

I'm getting started on build a couple of smaller buckets for my Hoe, and was wondering if heavy wall DOM tubing would work for the weld in renforcement eyes that the pins go thru? Or should I try to buy some somewhere, Threr really isn't a good place to find stuff like this in my area.

I think that plain DOM tubing is generally what is used.

I've used it for many projects,the latest being a hoist for the dump truck.
