JD2010 with Freeman Loader - need to replace bucket

I have an old John Deere 2010 from the 1960s.
It has a Freeman loader. The bucket has rusted apart and needs replaced.
The side brackets are 42 inches apart, and it has one cylinder for bucket tilting, about 10 inches above the line of the arm brackets.

What's my options for replacing? Would this be standard enough I might find a used bucket that fits?
Would I need to get a skidsteer type quick hookup plate so I can buy a standard bucket?
I assume unless this is a standard size I would have the get things customized to fit the tractor.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

Until the skid steer mounting quick attach came along buckets were pretty much proprietary to each manufacturer, and often each loader built by a manufacturer. Width and capacity sizes might be similar but mounting ear dimensions and pin sizes differed. I would expect to have to modify any bucket you find, unless you come upon one for the same model Freeman loader as yours.

If you want a straight pin on bucket plan on finding one that measures up about the same dimension wise as your current bucket and plan on moving the mounting ears from the old bucket to the new one (or building a new set to match the old ones for the new bucket). Pay attention to the relationship of the lift and dump cylinder pins to the bottom of the bucket (affects lift height and below grade ability) and how they relate to each other in the forward/reverse direction which will affect how far the bucket can dump and roll back. You may need to put roll stops on the bucket to hit the lift arms to prevent breaking cylinders if you use it as a dozer with the bucket fully dumped (your old bucket may have them). You might want to have a fab shop look at yours and see what they say about rebuilding it. You didn't say if you are equipped to do this fabrication work yourself. Some real estimates (not my or someone else's guesses or what it cost them 15-20 years ago for one) for rebuilding your bucket, or adding matching ears on a different bucket, will better help you compare buying a skidsteer adapter mount and new bucket.

If you afford to do it and want to be able to easily change to forks, bale spear, etc., now would be a good time to get a skidsteer mounting adapter for your loader and a new bucket to match. JMHO

Thank you! I can't do any sort of metal fabrication so will have to get quotes.
The bucket has a backplane, forks attached, and a bottom plate that set on top of the forks. There were bolt on triangle sides. I never knew the bottom plate and sides were removable until they fell apart a few years ago.
Now the bucket is just an L shape and the 90 degree angle is cracking. The back of the bucket and pins are still pretty solid so maybe I can just have it fixed.
