I built a pair of bucket forks for the JD 2305 this weekend. They are in a rough finish state, I still need to grind, buff, and paint them this week. I built them out of materials I had laying around. The forks are 2"x2"x3/16" square tubing. The clamps are grade 5 bolts 3/4" diameter by 6" long. I also used some 3/4" rod, 3/16" and 5/16" plate.
The good and bad thing is that these things are heavy.
