(Pack of 2) 5/16in Bolt On Grab Hook Mount with Backer Plate - Includes Hardware

Tres bien construit, facile à installer et les crochets s'instalent à l'extérieur et les anneaux à l'intérieur de la benne. Les anneaux sont fait pour y installer des manille d'un diamètre de 13mm au maximum, ce qui est OK pour un tracteur sous-compact et meme plus gros.

Take your time installing these, it’s best to start drilling with a small drill bit and slowly move up in diameter till you reach the proper size. I put painters tape down and marked the location of the holes. I also used WD40 to lubricate and help dissipate heat when drilling. Once installed the hooks are very strong and work incredibly well. I pulled this large log out of the woods and was very happy with how quickly I could reposition the chain from one side to the other and take up slack. The price of theses hooks was around $60 which is very good compared to others I compared with I highly recommend.

Hooks look great with a very nice job of welding. Easy to install, drilled a pilot hole and then enlarged it to 1/2". I did add a flat washers to both sides of the bolt which did not come with the hooks. Probably not necessary on the underside as the backing plate is thick and strong. Bolts that came with it are grade 8 and I've had hooks on other buckets with lesser graded bolts and have never had a problem. I'm confident that these hooks will be plenty strong to pickup any weight the tractor is capable of lifting.

My RK37 bucket top was a bit too narrow to mount these back to back, one on top and one inside the bucket, so I mounted all 4, evenly spaced, on top of the bucket. I have a little overhang with the bases found large washers to go inside the bucket lip and added shackles. Once mounted they have been incredibly useful. I've lifted furniture, a 10x5 ft wood walkway, piles of wood and the ring + hook arrangement is great. Hook a chain on the shackle, bring under the wood and run a link in the hook. Or put a grapple on a chain, throw over a pile of wood and pull tight over the hook, then tilt the bucket back to lift it all. I painted mine red but the paint is already wearing off and the gold is showing. I plan to add the hooks to my new pallet fork.

In the listing it shows just the 4 parts , but actually 8 bolts came, but not about to mount sep without backing so used clevis inside bucket and hooks on top, 4 spare bolts . certainly robust , hope they take primer in a couple weeks ...
