Ken's bolt on hooks install question

[bambam31]

Started to install my new hooks on my L3800 w/a quick attach bucket and had a question. The pic shows the only position that I can mount them flush to the bucket. If I move them forward to go through the thickest part of the bucket, the front edge of the plate will not be contacting the bucket. Should I be concerned about this or has anyone else had this issue.

Theres a thread started on bucket hooks. Give it a read. I had a similar question as you and have some pictures explaining what I did in that thread.

Thanks. Looks like your hooks are not supported in the rear but it hasn't affected the use.

There is a small bit that is unsupported in the back of it yes. It was a smaller portion than lining up the front.

I don't think it matters either way.

It hasn't impacting any lifting.
