Notice it snapped jagged in two spots, simultaneously. You can see the running weld from where it was fixed last time. Hopefully this morning's weld will hold as well. Was thinking about running welds laterally to build some strength up. The "right" sided bar is triple eyelet, and hasn't had any trouble yet. Go figure. This "left" side bar used to be a triple, but apparently last time the excavator snapped it, they couldn't find the third eyelet under the grade and just welded it as a dual-eyelet bar.
This is the piece that the rearward ram pushes on to open/close the bucket.
