HF Quick Hitch Ford Mod

[scrout]

Oops, should read FORK MOD.

Here is a little something I whipped up for some light hauling. I almost just bought a carryall at Coastal for $125, but came up with this using some scrap I had. I might want to add additional support with longer pins if I think I want to try and pick up some substantial weight, but mostly this is for a box or platform for light items and hauling some lumber from my bandmill. The forks will fold up to a vertical position, a pin could be added from the rear to lock them down.Let me know if you think of any additional mods.

Very clever!! And nicely done as well. Good use of a minimum of materials.

Very nice work, one of the best I've seen here. Add the pins for fold up and I'll tip my hat to you.

Definitely a job well done! You've already got me going through my scrap pile. Thanks for the idea.

That is just plain nice. After seeing those welds I need to go back to drilling and bolting stuff together.

Scrout,

Nice work. Most of the mods here are evolutionary, yours is revolutionary! Expect to see future variations. Simplicity is brilliance.
