Forks

[Bigboyskioti]

Hello all I've been waiting to show just what you guys have taught me over the last few months.... I still can't post pics in the photo section so I have them in Picasa... I made the forks out of 2x3 1/4 wall tubing. I think all together they cost around 100.00 to build! I know they will at least pick up a 400lb. box blade, and not even sweat..... heres the links from start to finish. And don't make fun of my welds....

Nice job. Do they stay straight when using them? I used 3 one inch fine thread bolts on mine and even after tightening them with a 3/4 impact wrench, they still move a small amount.

When they are tightened down I have yet to see them move. Might be because they weigh in around 50lbs each. hat's just a guess on the weight though
