Markct: I believe what you have is what I'm looking for. I will start looking in the junk yard for a set of forks. Thanks for the help.

By the way, how do you include a picture in your response?

wvbartman, where ya from, it doesnt say on your profile, if your nearby i may be able to build a simular set, altho there realy not that hard to make if you have a large drill press or milling machine and a welder, i actualy bored the holes on our horizontal milling machine since our drill press is a bit light for heavy drilling. the forks have held up great tho to all the abuse my tractor could dish out, i often use fork extensions made from 8 inch channel that are around 8ft long to move larger stuff like sheds, and last weekend i used them to move a slide in truck camper, that realy made the front end light but the forks held up fine, i use them with my homemade hyd toplink usualy which is a huge help, makes it easier to get under stuff and to dump stuff off the forks

Pekabu: How much did they charge you for a set of forks?

WVBartman -

Here's a nice site (seeing as you have a *nicely sized* tractor):

Attachments International

Maybe also:

Carver Equipment

Last - but certainly not least - try:

Markham Welding

Lots of folks here rave about Markhams' toothbars - I'm inclined to getting one from them too - if I don't build one myself.

I also picked up some used forks and welded up a 3PH frame:

I'm no expert welder - but my 3PH can only lift @ 1000 lbs - so I'm very confident about its strength up to that range. I'd have to be a bit more practiced until I felt comfortable with one for a 2000 lb capacity.

Hope one of those links helps,

Dan
