Bucket Hooks Question for hook gurus

[Russ Hatch]

Can anyone give me the dimensions of the bolt on hooks, snatch and slip?
I need to know if I can fit them on a piece of 2x2x1/4 angle.
On another note, this site is expensive. Since finding it last month I've purchased a Ratchet Rake, draw bar, and 3 point trailer hitch for the drawbar.
I'm also planning a mod to the trailer hitch and a jackstand for my rear blade , along with hooks on my loader.

Russ, my hooks are exactly 2 1/2", welded onto 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 1/4" angle iron.http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...184275-mahindras-bucket-strength-dcp02744.jpg

Thanks for the reply, but I'm looking at the bolt on hooks at this time as I don't have my welder yet. The bolt on hooks will be used on the 3pt hitch mod. I can't really blame this site for the desire for a welder but it has motivated me to purchase one. LOL I will remember the dimensions when it comes time to weld hooks on the bucket.

Russ, sorry I missed the bolt on part of your post. Does this link help?Ken's Bolt On Grab Hooks

Yes, that gives me the grab or snatch hook dimensions, now just need them for the slip hooks. Have seen the slip hooks advertized for bolting onto trucks but can't find the dimensions of the hook base. I had looked at Ken's hooks but missed the dimensions when I was at his site the first time. Thanks

Russ, I have looked tirelessly for some small weldable slip hooks that would fit on the plates I have so I could offer them, I have had zero luck.

Can you post a link to the ones you are thinking of using?

I'm fairly sure if you just increase the size of your angle iron by an inch, you'll have room to spare with the bolt on hooks.
