IMO, I would not mount the thumb to a bracket that fits into a 2" receiver. Too much slop in the receiver and the thumb would probably exert too much force on it when closing. I would center notch out a piece of 36" x 3/8" angle to fit over the receiver, weld it to the bucket and receiver and bolt the thumb mount to that. I bought two thumb mounts and welded one on the bucket, one on the forks. That way I just pull 3 pins and move the thumb to which I want to use.
