mahindra 1640 bucket hooks

[nosaint]

Hey all. Been looking at my bucket and there's no flat surface along the top to bolt on hooks. I've scoured the internet and there's not a lot to find. I did see a couple videos of people welding them on--one added reinforcements to the top of the bucket and the other welded them to the sides and middle without reinforcement. Does anyone have photos to share showing what they did? Thanks.

Thanks. I'll give them a call. It looks like the Mahindra buckets are a bit weird on top.

My son and I are getting ready to put hooks on a 1640 also. We are planning adding a piece of 2 inch square stock behind the lip on the bucket for strength. Then put 2 2200lb eye bolts through the 2 inch stock and the bucket with a chain clevis on each one of them. Will let you know how it goes.
