Thought someone may find this bolt info useful in the future. Links to McMaster PNs below.
On two separate machines, brand new, half the bucket tooth hardware was destroyed (cross threaded) on removal. Combination of cheap hardware, black oxide finish (which gets compromised almost immediately on installation), maybe factory paint part of the equation, and my impatience (impact). First machine I cleaned up the threads, out anti-sieze on. Second machine I knew I wanted to replace the hardware anyway so I didn't bother.
This applies to at least the KB2465 and SB2420, as I know for a fact those their buckets are interchangable. Can't speak for other models but please comment below if you know.
Bolts are M12-1.75x50mm, 90° flathead. I chose zinc plated for replacement bolts (I hate stainless for its tendency to gal) and yellow chromate for nuts.
