Hi Dug, The problem with these earlier ones was that the forks were only what? Only 3/8" thick and made of steel, I think. They would bend. The replacements are 1/2" cast iron teeth; they don"t bend, they just snap off if overloaded. So anyway, what happens with these old ones is that they would bend and the first tool that some old farmer grabbed was the darned welder, tryin" to "brace" the teeth. That just doesn"t work and is what I"m faced with; getting all that old badly welded crap off of the head. The best way to strengthen the things is to use the factory Farmhand reinforcement, which is nothing more than an angle iron laid crosswise across the top of the forks out where they start the bend downward. Then two smaller angle irons were welded perpendicular to the first iron and straddled each fork tooth with a bolt thru the two irons under the fork. That way, nothing is actually welded to the fork itself. Allan
