I am trying to replace a set of manure tines on an old front end loader. The dimensions are 1"x1.5"x32" solid square. I am pretty sure that the original are not an ordinary carbon steel since they are much more rugged. They just do not bend very easy. Anyone have any suggestions on what type of steel would be a good replacement or what the original may have been made of? Thanks for any suggestions.

Mitch,


I made a set of rock tines for my skid steer years ago out of truck axles. The tines were indestructible! The bucket was a little less so however. Find the appropriate size axle and weld away.

Find someplace junking out disks, and use the square shafts from them. Been working on the old H loader for 20 years, dad used 1 soft shaft & it bent in a year, the rest are still straight.

About 20 years ago I built a set of tines for a front end loader.

I fixed them so that they clipped over the front edge of the bucket, then extended into the bucket where a couple of bolts held the whole thing in place.

I used differential axles out of late '40s Ford pickups for the tines. They were tapered on the ends, not too big around and looked great.

The problem came with weight. I was putting these tines on a small compact utility tractor. Between the tines and the tractor being a small one, it wasn't a good idea. Perhaps I just used too many tines.

They may be made of T1 steel. It is a heat treated steel with a yeild strength of over 100,000 psi as opposed to regular mild steel with a yeild strenght of about 36,000 psi. Check with a steel supply shop, they may be able to help, but be prepared to pay. One other option. I used to work for Gehl Co. The tines they used on their later model skid steer manure forks were made of T1. They might be made to fit. Hope this helps.

John
