I think the bottom of the bucket lines up with the bottom of the frame but I am not sure. I could only find 1 picture. Does anybody have pictures or a link showing them installed?

Here are a few for the next person looking.

I cleaned up the area with a flapper wheel:

I marked 4" from the bottom and a center line. I marked the center line on the frame. Mine has a drain or something (indention) that was center with the old bucket(between the bucket and frame)

Lined my marks up, clamped, tacked and welded them on:

Done:

You're welcome. I was a little surprised I couldn't find anything out there. Another note... cutting the old ones off with a cutoff disc in a grinder is pretty easy. The old bucket wraps under the frame so I just cut through that plate at the corner. One weld across the top and that's it they pop right off.
