Different kind of chain hook.

Thanks guys for all the comments and likes :thumbsup:

I painted the hook thing last night with leftover Nissan Dark gray forklift paint that I used on my grill guard.
The Kioti seems to have 50 shades of gray on it so not sure which part it really matches, if any.

Here you can see the shackle mount underneath that acts as the nut too.

I know, another color. I did not have enough leftover Nissan paint to repaint the shackle mount on the bottom. As you can see, paint has a hard time surviving down here anyhow. I have a bar welded on the front of the shackle mount to add even more area to distribute the load.

I reused the thick grade 8 washers but installed 2 new 1/2-13x1-3/4" Indiana made bolts.

Here is a Ken's hook that I welded to a pallet fork frame. I am getting tired of wrapping a chain around this beam so think the hook will come in handy. The pallet frame is formed 3/8" steel designed for a skid steer so I feel it will handle the load.

It was just painted a hour ago as I type.

For some more ideas.
Here are some more hooked implements.

My homemade subsoiler. Had to put a hook on it too.

Here is one on my EA box blade. It has been painted since the photo.
