Lets see your weld on bucket hooks

Bolt on dont count

Hey now…I did weld them to the plate!

I had welded them on the original bucket which was before I installed the quick attach plate. I found that in certain odd applications I may want to switch around the D rings so I did the bolt on plates for this one.

I put some shackle lugs on my FrostBite Grapple.

I can hook stuff in a variety of ways

I found most of the time I just wanted a grab hook and didn't like the complication of the shackle just for a grab connection so I added a grab hook too

I bought a used M5640 that had a middle bucket hook. Added A set of hooks and a lug in line with the Loader Arms. First hook I put on backwards - DUH - Decided to leave it and put one on both sides with a correct facing one. I actually use the backwards hooks for hanging heavy stuff close the the lift pins.

This is how I modified my light duty JD bucket. I cut one leg off of a 4x4x1/4 piece of angle with a plasma cutter leaving about 3/4" on the front side. I cut one leg off some forged HF hooks and welded those onto the top. I used the leg I cut off the angle to make pieces to reinforce the side like the HD bucket has.

I' m not even sure what that means? Insult or compliment?
