After reviewing a few threads about bucket hooks, I did a Google search and found the following web site:
Ken's Bolt On Grab Hooks
I ordered a set of three of Ken's hooks. I received them today and installed them this evening. I put one in the top middle of my bucket, and one by each loader arm. I set these outer hooks up so that the inner bolt aligns with the outer loader arm bracket. That gives me a little more span (than centering on the brackets), without seriously compromising strength. I should be able to chain stumps to the bucket now!
They appear to be very well made. You can see them on Ken's web site. I plan to post a photo of my installation soon, but not tonight. It's late already.
By the way, it turns out that the Ken who makes these hooks is a fellow TBNer - kennyd.
