Massey Ferguson 1835M Cab
I have a Massey 1835M w/ a 72” bucket. I’d like to add a bolt on bracket to top of bucket that has the D-Rings, hooks, and 2” receiver. When shopping around on Amazon, and other sites, I see the manufacturer specific models for mostly JD, and when I see the “Universal models” they list a number of compatible manufacturers, but I never see Massey.

Was hoping to find something Massey specific. I assume most, if not all of the brands under “universal” have a level bucket top. However the Massey is not level on top, but rather has a raised rear ridge.

My alternative, would be to just get some material that I could butt up against the higher ridge that would act as a spacer to then accommodate a “universal”.

Before I go that route, does anyone know of a unit that is compatible w/ the 72” Massey bucket?

Thanks,

Wineguy

Is this the the bucket you have

If so can you bolt a flat filler piece on the top front to make it level and accept a universal unit ??

Actually the best bolt on hooks are not make/model tractor specific, in comments that say fits "XXXXXX" tractor is just to grab buyers.......

Want quality.....And aftermarket support?


Got to be 10 threads (100 or so responses) about weld/bolt on hooks...Try search feature.... You spend hours reading about hooks....

I personally fabricated some chain slots with 2x2x1/4 inch angle iron...

And then there is the shackle mount....

My dealer welded three hooks on my 72 inch LS bucket before he delivered the new tractor, I haven’t used them a lot but they have been very handy when needed. I provided the hooks and he charged $10 to weld them on, beautiful welds.
I have also heard plenty of good things about bolt on hooks.
