Hey guys. My old forklift has finally packed it in. Have been limping it for the last year. Old jigger is not worth an engine rebuild so I was toying with the idea of mounting the fork frame on the front of an old 65hp fiat. Heavy tractor should handle it and won稚 be lifting excessive weight. Wondering if anyone has done this at home from scratch and not bought an entire assembly to bolt on the front. Looks like there are heaps of rear mount ones but I would rather it on the front so I can drive around with the load on. Wondering how far back you started the frame to mount the forks on. Any pics or drawing on how to start attacking this project would be very helpful. Thanks.
