Needing a handy method of taking a chain, or strap, I made a pair of hooks that rest against the ROPS BOLTS for hanging a bucket or other things. I used. 1/2" rod cut and bent with torches to the right angles, then drilled each for a pin that holds the hook secure in place on the ROPS. SAFETY BLUE Rustoleum paint is a very close match for LS blue.

Dang, just spent $60 on the Bigtoolrack ropsrack to do the same thing, and your hooks look much sturdier. Great job

Thank you ! Bigtoolrack makes nice stuff but if your setup doesn't hold up, you can always fab up a couple hooks that are easy on and easy off.

Using tractors always needs using other tools. All need a better way to carry tooling safely. Hard to beat a bucket. Nice job!
