1st of all "Anyone can't make those bucket hooks". I for one don't own a welder nor do I know how to weld. And secondly when I want something, I pay someone else to make it.. :thumbsup:

Right Kennyd !! :laughing:

Thanks;) Yours shipped out today...

Your right, anybody can make them, Kenny actually did. I searched high and low for a set of bolt on grab hooks and could not find them. I ordered a set two days ago, thanks Kenny.

At this point I think it would cost me about $100K to weld them on myself. First I need to build a garage, but before I can do that I need to relocate the electric poll, install a pad transformer and bury the power underground since it is where I want the garage. I live in a 300 year old stone house, so I need to be sensitive to the history and not throw up a cheap vinyl sided garage. Then I can buy a $500 welder and do it myself.

In the mean time a cordless drill and Kenny's hook are going to make me a happy man.

Ultimately I do plan on doing all of the above, but my todo list since we bought this fixer-upper house a year ago is huge.

Yours should arrive tomorrow (Tuesday), thank you for the support!

Shameless plug here: How about some hooks on the bucket: Ken's Bolt on Grab Hooks

I know, it is and old thread. A year has passed and I've never regretted buying the deer, for Valentines Day my Wife just gave me a pair of Ken's hooks. :)

After 56 hours on the tractor I'm still wondering how I managed without it.

I do have a stick welder, wire feed welder and a gas welder. But Kenny's hooks were still the best way to this without having to repaint the bucket. :thumbsup:
