Thanks bud!
What do you consider "must have" accessories/options on the 2320?

It may be kind of difficult to find American made. I got these from eBay. They were,of course,made in China. Still a good quality hook though.

Thanks Greg
Not to change the subject...but I see you have a 2520. Your avatar appears to be a 2x20 series rear fenders, but I do not recognize your seat back or the green bar below it!? :confused3:

This kind of weldable hook for your bucket

Not that it would matter on a small CUT, but those are only G30 hooks. I buy mine from AW Direct, they are G70. I use the 5/16" size, and I weld these to 1/4" plates that are then welded just in front of the QH hooks on the bucket. I just did two buckets a while ago for friends and TBN members.
Thinks about offering them as a bolt-on's for those that can't weld...

You mean like.. drill & bolt..? I don't have a welder. If you were to consider it, what might you charge to do it?...think you are about 1 to 1-1/2 hrs from me.

I had a heavy reinforcing piece of steel welded across the whole top of the bucket, and then the hooks were welded to it. It REALLY made the bucket stronger, and honestly the bucket is already bent a little bit. If I had just welded the hooks to the top of the bucket, I would have it ruined by now!
Depends how you are going to use yours! Mine gets used carrying logs out of the woods, and its a beating on the loader!

I added an engine oil and water temperature gauge. I was not happy with the factory dash utilizing an idiot light to advise of overheating.
I live in south Texas where the ambient air temp is easily over 100% during the mowing season.
It's also interesting to observe the temp at different RPM's under different loads. It let's me know when I reach a preset temp by flashing the LEDs so I can throttle down to cool the block. Grass will plug the radiator screen and cause the temp to rise fast. It's too much of an investment to depend on JD's idiot light.

Yeah, I was thinking that...Aready have one prototype done. Not sure on the price yet, what would they be worth to you? A lot of guy's can't weld, so I thought this would help them, I am sure not gonna get rich on it! Or you could always bring the bucket to my house:thumbsup:
Yo Kennyd, Had to laugh "A lot of guy's can't weld" I've been doing it for years and still can't.
But I'm still learning. You're a good man.
