Weight of the hook block is 66 g. Combined with part #70644 and two 2L axles is 77 g.

That hook element great, how much does it cost?

Okay thanks, might take a while before I can order it. I have a tight budget for Lego. Have to order 289 parts all together for the backhoe, a rechargeable battery box and adapter included, so costly. But I hope to order it this year.

@Richard Dower Here is link https://www.shapeways.com/product/JATZFZNJC/lego-hook-block?optionId=58285314

Some new parts are available:

Larger excavator bucket loosely based on Liebherr V-type bucket. It is 9 stud wide while previous was 7 stud wide (Efferman's are 10,5 stud wide and 8 stud wide).

My replacement for lego part #6574. Even though it is made by 3D printing, it's still cheaper than most bricklink shops.

My alternative for x873c01. But not yet ready, i made few mistakes so it is worse than original. I have to redesign CV joint hub and slim down some areas. When it will be ready it will cost around 7$ per piece.

3L version of 15459. After a youtube video made by František Hajdekr i am trying to improve my design of ball socket, but in this creation socket is too thin and disconnects too easily, especially under high angles.

Witch bucket would fit the backhoe I am building best, it's the one from Jurgen Krooshoop. Looking for both a good frontloader and backhoe loader bucket for this machine. The one you made for the front looks like a good size.

@xsysiek, would you be willing to rescale your LT Bucket to be 11 studs wide?  I've recently built @Flybum's Volvo excavator, and I haven't been able to find a bucket that correctly scales to it.  I currently have your LT Liebherr Excavator Bucket on it, but it doesn't quite look right. 

I'd be willing to compensate you for your time.

[xsysiek]

I will rescale it. Just give me some time.

Thanks!
