Looking for plans to build forks for john deere tractor

   / Looking for plans to build forks for john deere tractor #11  
I thought about building a set of forks for my 3 point hitch, but decided it was too much work. I stopped by a local forklift repair shop that I sold an old forklift to and asked if he had any old masts. I bought two of them in different sizes. Sure made it a lot easier to build, by just having to add the 3 point pins and a top link attaching point. I also have a lot better forks than I could have built out of my own stuff.

Did you keep the hydraulic cylinder and lift ability for the 3 point attachment?

I got this at a farm auction many years ago when I had a tractor:

Swapping to the bucket takes about 90 seconds,,,
