Bucket Hooks

HUCKthe1 · Aug 3, 2007

I got them from mail order. I would give you the email address but they took so long that I am not sure where I ordered them from plus I am waiting for my credit card statement to see if they even charged me. I just did a Google search for grab hooks. I want to say they were about $6 a piece. I was connecting my chain with a shackle to the bucket and that was a pain. The hooks make for quick and easy picks now.

Rob, Thanks for posting that link. I struck out with some local suppliers who only have hooks for attaching to chain, no weld on units. I will have some hooks headed my way real soon now.

Thanks again,

Pat

Some time back I posted about adding hooks to the bucket of my B7610 loader. I did and thought I would show a picture of one of the hooks. The paint on the hook is scratched up a bit due to use.

I reinforced the lip of the bucket at the location of the hooks and then used a section of angle iron to mount the hook with some plate added to the bucket itself to spread the load over a larger area.

So far, so good.

Happy

to see that you aren't one of those touch-up paint guys.
