Well with all the recent rain I got to finish and paint the forks up. I have to say they turned out better than I thought they would. While cleaning the forks up I found a cast date in the forks of F 1 36 witch sounds about right as I once saw a picture of the fork lift these came off of that was taken in the early 40s. I hid the way to take the fork shaft out, Take 2 bolts out and pull the cover off and pull the shaft and the forks come off to move them in closer than 24" apart, They will go out to 47" and down to 24" the way they are now so that's ware they will say 99% of the time. They do work good I have to say. Maybe I will build a firewood processer next? I am getting new ideas! We will see. Bandit

Your skid steer will inform you when you have enough on the prongs. Listen to it. Very nice fabrication. Jim
 
I did, It picked up and carried the smaller of the two logs but the big one I could only pick and carry one end to move it around so it could be moved with the tractor. It let me know loud and clear so I didn't try to carry it even it picked it up I knew it was too much for it. But at least my welds held and it didn't fall apart. Bandit

Thank you. It has the Ford engine in it, Never seams to run out of power just gas! Trying to find buckets or forks for these old machines is very hard to say the least so I build what I need, And if your going to build it build it right the first time. I have learned from my mistakes of the past so I over build if I can and try to make it look good if I can. Bandit
