ABSTRACT:
A power bucket is disclosed having a first and second bucket half, each forming a scoop. The bucket halves are pivotally secured together along their top so that the bucket halves are movable between an open position and a closed position. A pair of bearing assemblies is provided for pivotally securing the bucket halves together with the bearing assemblies being provided on opposite sides of the bucket halves. Each bearing assembly includes a cylindrical body having a smaller diameter pin extending coaxially outwardly from one side. The pin is positioned within an opening in the first bucket half and the cylindrical body is removably secured to the first bucket half by bolts. The cylindrical body of the bearing assembly is also positioned within a circular opening formed through the other bucket half so that the bucket halves can pivot relative to each other. An improved cantilevered axle assembly is also disclosed for the bucket closure line.
