I got forks.. but if I would have done my homework I would have the grapple instead. Wish I had the 3rd function already.. at this point it's a want not a need!
USA Did yours have sharp edges and burrs all around the plate? The hooks are not tumbled near long enough and he won't change the process to make them right. The burrs are a hazard and they also bite into the paint, if you file them off, well there goes the plating.Got my hooks in the mail today!! Have to say, super high quality, beautiful welds, and a great finish. Highly recommend Kens bolt on hooks! Oh and MADE IN THE
thats cool you should make some and sell them. Ive had 3 sets of kens hooks on 3 different buckets and use his tie downs on the rear frame. I may not be a metallurgist, but I know when I slap on a chain, or tie down hook, they have worked every single time. However, I have not checked for the paint being chipped off my bucket, i should go out now and have a look
Did you have to drill any holes to put them hooks on? I want A set for the front and back. Kens rear John Deere ones look like they will fit the front of my frame but they are out of stockthats cool you should make some and sell them.

Thats on the LX3310 @Gallows
Those are indeed the front deere tie downs that ken offers, they fit the existing rear holes on the LX frame perfectly. The holes already have a nut welded behind them (maybe for backhoe frame?)

The nut that's welded there is for a M16 bolt with 1.5 thread pitch, 30 to 35 mm long. Kens tie downs have a 1/2 hole in them, I just widened them a hair with a 41/64 drill bit and they fit up perfect. They make a great spot for rear tie down.
for the front I just use a D-Ring that I welded to a plate. In the back I dont use the drawbar for rear tie down and always struggled a little finding a good spot back there but kens product has been a great solution.
ah you have a backhoe! Are these holes used for the backhoe? I was wondering what they may be for, or possibly for shipping?
