In finally got around to welding on my bucket hooks. It's been a while since I've mig welded, so excuse the welds. Also the hooks have been in my basement, that's the reason for the rust. LUTT

lutt,
Looks like a pretty good job to me ! ! :2cents: I used the same type hooks on my BX2350 loader, and there has never been a failure to date. I'm sure you will get LOTS of use from them.

Good Job Lutt! I use my hooks almost as much as the Bucket.

Thanks guys, I appreciate that! I'm sure I will. I know I've wished I had them own there more than a few times already! LUTT

I think those welds look pretty good and suspect they'll stay put for a good long time. :thumbsup:

Grab a wire brush then a bit of sanding and paint if you want them to look factory installed!! :thumbsup:

Lutt, be careful with using only one hook. Applying weight to only one side of the bucket especially on uneven ground could tip the tractor on its side...Just a heads-up is all....
