how do they look my first build?

 

[Bennet.man]

Looks good! Where did you find your forks?

 

[rockinmywaypa]

I think they look pretty darn good, a lot better than I'd expect for a first try. I almost didn't even see them because I didn't scroll sideways at first.

They do look good. Now that I found the scroll bar. I just wasn't seeing them at first.

Very nice job! I am impressed for a first timer

I have found that building my own implements and accessories has been very rewarding, you save alot of $$$ and have the satisfaction of doing it yourself!

 

[Red Beast]

very impressive.
and scroll bars?? come on you guys get a bigger monitor.....lol

 

[Runner]

Hmmm, scroll bar....yeah, I knew that....

SPO, they look great. Nice work.

You'll wonder how you ever got by without them.

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..

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?

THE QUICK ATTACH PIN GOES THROUGH THE NOTCH

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

"on 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.

good idea if I wanted to use the same quick attatch plate for a fel boom

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.

 

[spo307]

uh oh, you got me thinking now...lol

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.
