I have two JCB 3CX buckets. A virtually new 12'' and a Geith 2' Both with pins fitted and good teeth. 10mm bottom on the Geith and 8mm on the 12''
£150 for the pair + pallet delivery which is £53+VAT from memory.
These came with my 360 excavator and have been replaced with the correct Takeuchi buckets on 50mm pins.
Please contact me for further information.

@Gruffalo. No PM but I will post pictures on this thread.
Ok. There's a little confusion @Chuckie. I have received your PM
Details;
These were a set of buckets that originally came with my TB175 excavator, which was fitted with a non Takeuchi quick hitch of uncertain age but worked well with 3CX or similar buckets with their 1 3/4" (45mm)pins. The distance between these pins made the crowd a little strange (too far apart) and when ditching much material was lost so I found jobs taking longer and becoming messy which is not my style. The original quick hitch was also badly worn. As I was earning £'s I felt that the best solution was to bite the bullet and buy a complete new set-up that properly fitted the TB fittings which are 50mm and not 45mm. The end result was that these buckets were put into store behind my barn.
The 2' is a Geith bucket with a 10mm bottom and strengthening/wear bars also welded on. The teeth are in good order as is the wall thickness. This is a bucket from probably the best UK bucket manufacturer. Distance between the 45mm pins 330mm. Dipper arm width or between the ears is 165mm.
The 12'' was new to me in 2008 and did about 500 hours in its first year. I took the teeth off as it left the bottom of a drainage trench lovely & smooth These are shown in the picture. The bottom is 8mm and the general condition is good with quite a lot of the original paint still attached.
Distance between the 45mm pins is 340mm and between the ears is 170mm.
I think it is a Digbits or similar manufacturing co.
The pins are round and are not sloppy in their holes!
I hope this information helps.
A pallet costs about £53 + VAT. I may be able to get this a little cheaper but I haven't asked.

I'd really like to sell them as a pair for £75 each which totals £150. This would mean I haven't then got an odd bucket lurking.....Plus the carriage of course.

Ok thanks, I'll have a think about it.
