Bucket Hooks Weldable Hooks

[bmac]

I've seen a number of posts with nice photos regarding hooks welded to FEL buckets. However, I'm curious about placement of a hook(s) on a backhoe bucket.

Can anyone describe (or better, show a picture) of where on the BH bucket a hook should be placed?

Thanks

Most hooks you see on backhoe buckets are placed relatively close to the hinge pin. To locate the spot rotate the bucket both directions and find the closest point to the pin that it will not make contact.
