Branson 2400h Debris Forks and Bucket Guard

Cross posted in the customization forum, but wanted them here in the brand forum too. (admin please remove if not allowed)

Made some Debris forks that are 1.5", 1/4" wall, and fairly well sized for this 2400h Branson. Work great so far.
Rear guard isn't 100% done, going to add expanded metal across the top section once I get some. Might add some lower sections, but I wanted to leave plenty of room for grab hook use on top of bucket.

I really like that! I might steal your design. :thumbsup:

Feel free! it's simple and strong. If you'll notice, I made the outside prongs stick back and drilled the rear mounting holes for the ratchet straps in the back, they need to be in front of the rear edge of the bucket so they'll help pull the forks back against the bucket lip. (I think you can see it on one of the two last pics if you zoom in).
And if your bucket is like mine, the holes in the side for mounting the guard are already there and at a 45* angle (can't remember the hole center, it's not an 'even' number). I used 5/8x2" bolts with fender washer inside bucket and nylock nuts.
