I use these on GC2400, Hube uses them on GC1725MB
I also use pats quick hitch (CAT 1) as it gives just a little more lift than a normal quick hitch due to geometry. with the low ground clearance GC series have this matters.

These are probably the best things I've added when it comes to making my life easier.

Thanks again for all the help, I've got a ways to go and with my work schedule this will take a while.
Just found this nice reference guide for the tractor.

Looks like Agco offers parts book for the backhoe BH2720, can't find one for loader FL1805. Maybe the loader parts are included in the service manual?
BH2720 Parts Book $9 book, $30 shipping!

loader parts not in tractor manual. same with backhoe parts.
they will be online though.
click parts book then enter FL1805 in search box.

Thanks for the AGCO link. So that website is obviously pretty deep with a lot of information, and some hard to find.
Bro-Tek is back up and running. Ordered the 2" spacers, shipping was $30 which is probably normal, no additional charges.

Somebody tell me why the bucket hook location of being near the top on the back side (pic with the chain) won't do the same thing as being on the very top. Also a couple on the bottom of the bucket inverted.

You obviously have not worked much with chain.....
One places hooks on top plate of bucket with closed end forward..... Placing on back with open end down mean chain can/will fall out of hook if there is slightest slack in chain.... Remember what gravity does and any loose chain will take advantage of it....
Don't see any reason to put hooks on lower portion of bucket, but to each his own....
Something I would suggest for any time you are going to do hard pull and don't want to distort bucket or loader arms...
Some thing you need to have to work with chains besides hooks on each end of chain...
