Is the cross section of your bucket (shape of the side)not a rectangle but rather similar to a section of a circle with the bottom flat where it contacts the blade? If so do the following: Determine where the shape of the side of the bucket changes from a curve to straight. Draw a line from that point to the other end of the curve of the bucket. Measure the length of this line. Then find the midpoint of this line and measure perpendicular from that point to the back of the curve of the bucket. Then measure from the point you earlier determined where the side of the bucket changes from a curve to straight to the front of the bucket. Send me these three measurements and I'll calculate it for you. If it's not clear what measurements I want contact me by email and I'll discuss it with you in more detail.
