Alen,

Got a link or a phone number. My FEL can handle a little of 1000 lbs, so that size would seem to be right in line.

Well I got my forks today. Haven't tried 'em out yet but they look well made. First thing I'm gonna do is go to my dealer and get some paint to correct the only apparent flaw /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.

These were $267 plus shipping from www.bluelinemfg.com. They only weigh 45# each.

I mounted them on my extremely muddy bucket tonight. Here's a picture. The yellow sticker says something like - the 1000# capacity means spread evenly over both forks and no more than halfway out the fork.

Ok I'll bite. Why are your truck lights on, in the garage?

That happens to me every time I take a picture and my truck is in the picture. I forget that the side markers are also reflectors and will reflect the flash back at the camera. And that extra light rushing back at the light meter makes the rest of the picture seem darker.

Hey, congrats on the forks, Alan!

Except for the funny-colored paint job, those are exactly the same ones I have. You'll use them often, I betcha.

This question may have already been asked, but does anyone know if the clamp-on bucket forks can be used on a bucket that has a toothbar also??? I guess thats one of those "it depends" kind of questions /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.

Wal,

A while back I posted a photo that shows both the clamp on forks and the toothbar that I have being used together. I also detailed some of the measurements too.

Here's the link to that.

Anyhow, works for me. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Hi Alan, Ive built several including a set for my Ford hoe and a few others machines all the way up to a Dresser loader. I made a set for a 410 Deere hoe last winter when earthmoving was slow. The 410 needed to have mounts that allowed the bucket to let the forks dump to so i made my forks and in the top of the pivots i i fixed a slot to hold a 3/4 bar the width of my 2 inch bar. Then when i made the hooks a u shape to allow the 3/4 bar to hold tight. it works supprisingly well. I get about 300 a pair. the ones i made for my old backhoe i can attach them without even stopping the machine. Ill try to dig up a few pics of the 410. Best regaurds Taylor Lambert.
