Chain Hooks

[mcnitt]

I recently took delivery of a GL3430 on which I had a graple installed on the loader. I asked the dealer about installing a couple of chain hooks, and what he did was to have two clevis type 5/16" hooks put on the sides of the grapple frame. I don't want the grapple on all the time, but I see a frequent need for the hook/s.

Where is the best place on the loader for a hook/s, and how should they be attached?

Here's a link to a post I made about bucket hooks with adjustable position so you don't have to worry about what the best position to put them in is. Since then I have added some lock bolts to the hooks, not so much because they shift during use , but because they were vibrating which was really annoying. Now they sit tight.

Yup, that's true. There was a thread running just a week and a half ago. Here's the link to it. Inside this thread, you'll find links, to other links, to even more links.

Good luck. This thread is 2.5 years old.
