Hi! I have a 7308 loader with a heavy duty bucket and because the bucket has a large rolled top lip I was wondering what the best way would be to install bucket hooks.

Brad I have the same loader and bucket I put clevis hooks on each corner by the rolled part I also got a pair of hooks from the NH dealer they look like handles with a place to put a chain link in. I put these on the top of the bucket. You can see the handle type hooks in my picture #6 and the corner hooks in #18. ....

Six hundred and forty horsepower? Is that for real? I bet you don't get 50,000 miles out of a set of tires!

Is the car factory or aftermarket custom???? ....

Mark the car dynoed at 538HP at the rear wheels so estimated flywheel HP is 640. It is very squirrelly with street tires If I want it to hook I must run drag radials or full slicks. The entire drive train is custom. I bought the car new as a 1999 Roush mustang stage II then rebuit the drive train. ....

I hope you have 4-point harness in there instead of the regular belts.

No just regular belts. It is amazing that 281 cubic inches can produce that much power. It is not easy I smoked 3 motors trying to get to this point. There is probably another 50-60 hp in the motor but at this point I have it tuned very rich an conservative. I went a little crazy several years ago with the whole "fast and furios sreet racing Thing" After a few close calls and the fact that the car was well known in the area and nobody else would race me I thankfuly outgrew it. Now I do mostly car shows. Last year I put less than 400 miles on the car. ....
