Default FEL Pallet Forks/Pin-on QA

Spent 2 days cutting drilling and welding up pin-on QA and a pallet fork frame for the forks I bought. It will be nice to be able to swap the bucket and forks with out too much hassle.

Here's the almost finished product. Still have to weld up a back-guard and then paint. Used up all of my steel angle.

Nice job!
That's exactly what I am thinking about doing (when I find that round tuit ).
Thanks for posting the great pics.

Thanks,
This project took me about a year to finally get round tuit.
Here's pics of the fork frame on the rear that I bought with the forks.

Excellent work.

I'm getting ready to do the same thing for my new Mahindra 5525 with the ML250 FEL. I should have gotten the QA when I bought the tractor. But such is life. Thanks for blazing the trail on this one.

The dealer quoted my something like $500.00 for QA for my ML106. Mine is not quite as pretty as a factory one but I only spent about $30.00 on the pins and the steel I got for free. One man's junk is another man's treasure.
