Too cool for school! I was wondering why mine were black and not chrome as well but had not had a chance to do any research on that yet.
You guys are awesome! I've been in engineering work on Navy ships for over 30 years, yet I've been able to learn a grunch of new stuff just in my short time on TBN.

I installed some 3/8" plate on the sides of mine as well as the top angle and hooks. I hate bent up buckets.
Brian,
I know you will not overload that center hook on your bucket.
But I have seen too many buckets with hooks in the center that have bent top lips. Y'all. if you have a heavy load, please put it on a corner of your bucket unless it is really beefed up like Brians.hugs, Brandi

Hooks on the corner anything other than, will curl the lip.

Brandi, there have been a few posts where people are all worried about bending, tweaking the loader frame by having a heavy load on one corner only. What I think is that all the top lips of these AG type tractors need to be reinforced if you are going to be using that part of the bucket to support much weight at all. With a reinforced top lip and just a little common sense of where to place any particular load, most people will be alright.

Brian,
I agree with all you said.
Somewhere (I think it was building my pond) I tweaked my loader arms where one is a tad higher than the other. So my bucket is low at one end no matter where I have tilt. But I am learning how to compensate for it.hugs, Brandi

Shada,
Welcome to TBN!
New Battery, relay clicking equals a battery that is not charged good enough to turn your stater over or is not making a good connection.Tilt cylinder leak.......how fast is it leaking down?
Is it under load? Does it leak down when emtpy?hugs, Brandi
