Looking good! :thumbsup: I defiantly would do something about the lack of roll back with the forks flat on the ground. I absolutely love having the 35* roll back angle on my Deere, it allows you to stack so much more in your bucket and rarely spills a load. :thumbsup: I definatly envy you on those forks, I have been needing a set since i got my Deere, i have to wait until i sell my small utility trailer to get a set though.

Thanks Jake looks like you are getting some work done yourself! :thumbsup:

Yup we need that roll back for sure thats my thinking also. I like as much control as I can get especially when it means I may be picking stuff back up by hand that spilled. :laughing:

I think California hit that fix right on the head. :thumbsup:

I am keeping the fork angle (or lack of) in mind when I weld the SS plate on my bucket when I get time for it maybe this weekend.

I have already taken the forks off so I could mow and it is very easy to do. I can see I will appreciate changing attachments on the front being as easy to change as the rear that will be nice. :thumbsup:

Well started the bucket change over this afternoon and went great up to where I ran out of wire so calling it quits will finish it later. I have 2-3 hours of chores every nite between the pond and garden so I am out of here so here is some pics the splaining of why I did what will be first of next week sorry.

The last weld is done (I hate running out of something right when I am almost done) and its painted and all is well.

The mount before was higher on the bucket by 1 1/2" roughly -pic 4, and I raised the plate as high as I dared w/o weakening it at the top- pic 5. I sure didn't want to lose the ability to lift the front wheels off the ground and I didn't still can.

I now have a center place to hook a chain when necessary that is an added bonus. :thumbsup:

I have been thinking about the forks lack of rear tilt and no adjustment and believe California's idea is the way to do it so thanks to him! :thumbsup:

I have some 3/8 flat and I plan on building a wedge basically to weld at the back of the forks where they bear down on the lower bar across the quick attach I will post pics later.

MMmmm i am now going to do something like that, looks to be a relatively easy conversion.:thumbsup: well done.

 

[Car Doc]

Thanks guys!

Yes it went real smooth I was done in no time. A little expensive but what isn't these days anything that saves you time and effort later. :thumbsup:
