I am trying to get the capacity for a JD BW14746 front bucket. I cannot find anything that mentions the capacity in JD 's docs

What loader is this bucket for? I haven't been able to even locate the number you gave.

I also think you have the BW number wrong.
Do you know the width in Inches or mm? Std or high volume?
And as posted above, for what model loader?

There are 2 buckets for the CX300. The one I have is a bit thicker on the metal and has a replacable edge. Its the right part number since the sticker is still on the used tractor I bought. I called a dealer and its a part they can order but he did not know the capacity of the bucket. I am using it to sell mulch with so I need to the capacity.

I think I rememeber a post of 1/3 of a yard but can't seem to find it now. I doubt the hd bucket vs materials bucket will make much difference, it's just a matter of some flat stock on the top and outside of the bucket that's different.

Looking at an older sales manual for the 300 series loaders, I found two buckets that have similar numbers to yours. The BW14146 is a standard 61" materials bucket, and the BW14764 is a heavy duty 61" materials bucket; they each have a 9.0 cu ft struck capacity. The 53" buckets have a 6.0 cu ft struck capacity, and the 73" materials buckets have a 10.7 cu ft struck capacity. If your bucket is a high-volume (light materials) bucket, a 73" is 15.0 cu ft, and a 85" is 17.4 cu ft; these would not be common. The Deere configurator shows the two numbers I gave you as the current 61" buckets for the 300CX. Is it possible that either of these are the numnbers on your bucket?

So if there's 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. The 9 cuft bucket would be 1/3 of a yard.

Thank you for the information. I thought the bucket might be a 1/3 of a yard by it size but none of the newer literature mention the buckets capacity.
