    Bucket chain hook placement

    I know nothing of course but I didn’t want my bucket wider. I now would also have concerns about a straight lead from the hook unless it pivots somehow

    Bucket chain hook placement

    Thanks for the warning about about needing a spacer. Good point that I had not considered. I do quite a bit of sailing and fair leads are important in ropes, but it didn't cross my mind about chain & hooks which seem indestructible,

    Thanks, everyone for the input. Here’s what I’m thinking. At the lift arm. Easy to drill. Out-of-the-way, but usable. I have some potential to bend the upper lip where the chain runs across it, but I don’t anticipate lifting terribly heavy items.
