Absolutely.

Thanks @GeoHorn Note we sell weld on parts too, in fact our 5/16" and 3/8" hooks are the ONLY grade 70 weldable hooks forged here in the USA. We have a video on out YT channel showing the 3/8 ones getting forged.

Thanks! Did you read our FAQ's on painting?

I've not seen a bolted hook or combo there, so I can't advise. Here is how our customers generally attach our hooks to this style bucket:

The thread on GTT? Yes, that was amazingly BAD. Wow...just WOW. Even Titan has done better 😂 😂

The only thing you can count on is NO standardization. I just wish the gubment would outlaw NPT 😂

Post some picture of what you have, I'm sure we can help. You can also just google "orb thread charts"

Two hoses in a sleeve is just fine... We sell this product, its easier to install then the regular style. We have a sizing suggestion chart on the website too. https://www.boltonhooks.com/product/dura-wrap-sleeving/ https://www.boltonhooks.com/hydraulic-parts/

Me either, seems an electric valve and joystick switch would be easier to use and install.

Please read the first post, he is talking about converting from a pinned on loader bucket to a quick attach one, presumably the SSQA style.

What could go wrong? LOL. You know the answer….$400 vs $1500? Inferior materials, lack of engineering, shoddy sweatshop workmanship, and no customer support is where the cost savings come from.

Found two pics:

Yes, that can be done, I had some pics on a mini skid steer bucket but can't find them now!

You will be top loading the hook that way, and risk the chain slipping off. Either way, totally unsafe. Pleased consider a local weldor to help you, or our hooks that are designed for buckets like yours.
