Fork extentions for loader on GC2400

[bakerg]

Need to move some stuff from the barn on the farm my mother sold, so I found some scrap steel and made forks that will mount on the FEL. Used 2x3 tubing for the forks and 3" channel for the back stops. Made the forks so they will slide on the base of the loader bucket and made them so they will lock in place so the don't fall off. Width between the forks can be adjusted by just sliding the forks along the bottom of the bucket. Works great so far.:thumbsup:

I just use a box blade I made, might have to add some more weight to it though.

Bakerville is still at the end of our road and myself and my mother each have an acre lot that have been severed from the farm.

Forks look great, but man.........that green has gotta go:laughing:

Yeah, I will have to paint the forks black. Even the box blade just doesn't match the tractor but that was the paint I had. May paint it red and black also.:thumbsup:
