Nice work. ONe thing I don't understand for those of you with forks that sit on a notched bar like that, is what keeps one from bumping up off the notch?

forks were given to me, i made the everything else, 5 inch c channel is a little over kill but that was free also, all done with torch and a mig, well ran out of wire, had to stick the top cage, next is a cultipacker, and FEL boom, thanks for the replys I dont know how to load photos on top of each other I thought I did..

Not a problem. It's good to excercise the horizontal scroll bar once in a while anyway. LOL

oh the bottom of the forks have a reverse hook, if you look at the first pic the forks have to slide on first, right now i cannot take the forks off without cutting off the side rail

Frontier forks are designed the same way. However, they have a "notch" cut into the bottom flange, right in the middle, that is just wide enough to allow the fork to be tilted up and removed from the frame.

I like the way you're thinking. You could make a whole series of attachments to go on the fork mount. Boom pole, receiver hitch, etc.

I think if you edit your original post and then put a carriage return (hit enter) between each of your picture files then they will stack properly.

Ya, mine was a little sticky at first, hadn't used it in a while either!

I love my forks; good build - you will not be able to do without them once you have worked with them.
