1000 loader, 48" bucket

I have a 48" snow bucket off of a small New Holland Skidsteer that I want to put on my 1000 loader. A 48" snow bucket was optional on the 1000 loader.

Could anybody tell me if the bucket is supposed to be centered on the loader arm, or on the tractor?

Right now I have a 28" manure fork, with a tine cover that's about wore out. If I have to center the bucket on the loader arm, I'll cut a section out of the middle of the new bucket and reduce it to 36".
 

If I have to center it on the loader arm, it's not worth leaving at 48". It'll stick way off to the right and won't even cover the left wheels.

After I'm done welding it you won't even be able to tell it was cut. No worries about it being signifigantly weakened... Besides, I'm only going to be using this tractor for light light light loader work. Moving snow. Moving loose dirt. Moving my torch set from the garage to the barn and back. Moving some firewood. The bucket is really overkill for that.
 

Welp, good bad or ugly, the deed is done.

I cut a 10-1/2" section out of the bucket and welded 'er back together. Okay you can tell it was welded... I haven't done any hardcore welding in a few months. A little more grinding, a few coats of paint, and some dirt will cover that up.

It fits, it dumps, it holds up to the worst abuse I gave the old bucket and then some. Weighs about the same, but 10" wider than the 28" manure tines.

Some expressed concern that this would weaken the bucket. Maybe but near as I can tell, it's strong enough... If it doesn't hold up I'll cross that bridge when I get there I guess :)
