Just finished up my fork build for my mini crawler. I was fortunate to find a good set of forks from my local junk yard. This is the first attachment I have built. The fork frame is made up of 3/8"x 4" flat steel. I used a 3"x 1/4" thick square tube for the upper support and a 6" piece of C channel for the bottom support. It turned out well. I need to cut out the notches for the pins to engage so the forks will stay put when in use. I do want to make a quick-attach bracket so that I can switch from forks back to bucket. The only problem I have encountered is the top rail hits my cylinder. Hopefully the quick attach will space it further ahead to give me more clearance.

What the heck is that thing? I do not believe I have ever seen anything like that. Looks handy though.
