Hooks and teeth... oh yeah!

Here's what I did,

I welded one hook onto a mounting plate that I bought from Ken's on the lower portion of the rear of the bucket. I also welded a shackle mount to one of Ken's plates and welded it to the underside of the bucket lip inside the bucket. Combined with a clevis shackle I can use that for a single point lift using straps for lighter items.

I got a length of 3/16X3X3 angle to set on top of the bucket lip which I welded to the lip and to the back of the bucket. 1 hook in the center and the other 2 centered on the FEL arms. I added 2 small shackle mounts that I got from Ken's outboard of the hooks, again just for lighter lifts with nylon straps.

Nice work.

I plan to use it clearing some medium size undergrowth on my property. I would appreciate sharing pics of your custom bucket for ideas.

For tearing out brush, nothing beats a Ratchet Rake.

Has anyone done chain hooks to double wall top portion of 300cx loader as a bolt on?
Or is welding the only way?
