I have a 1987 John Deere 950 (4wD) That I installed a "Great Bend" bucket loader on about 10-15 years ago. I can't seem to find any information online regarding the bucket or the company. The bucket was an aftermarket install due to the fact that (according to my JD dealer) John Deere had stopped making buckets for the 950 when I finally got around to wanting one. But now, the bucket is split out the back so I decided to price out a replacement bucket before taking the old one to the welders.
When I called the dealer the other day, they sounded as if they had never heard of the bucket (go figure) and said they'd call me back. The deeper I dig, the less I can find out about this unit. Can you help?
There are 2 decals on the loader itself. One says "GB" which I think stands for Great Bend, the other says "M20" which I assume is the model. Any info on this would be appreciated. In particular, I need a source for replacement parts.
