I'm no expert but I doubt that's factory. Did you buy it new? Just looks like a square nut welded on the bucket. They did a nice job painting it afterwards.

No, bought it from the original owner with 350 hours on the clock. He was pretty detailed in pointing out darn near everything he ever touched on it, but never mentioned modifying the bucket - whoever did this did a really pro job of it, so if it's aftermarket it's got to be from a real fab shop.
Actually, here's a view of the same bucket on someone else's tractor, stolen off the innerwebs... note the outer bracket which I failed to grab a shot of...
