I made a 13" bucket for my CADDigger 728 about 10 y ago. I followed their plans to bend and weld a piece of 1/4" plate to form the carcass. It worked well and the bucket was hefty. The buckets I have for my Praire Dog b/h use a thinner main carcass and formed (curved) wear strips made of plow steel for the edges and center. Both use commercially-available tooth holders and teeth.
