Very clever! Set up for both front end loader and rear 3pt

Just out of curiosity... did you unload your son's welder in to YOUR garage? :D

Nicely done. I was thinking about doing basically the same thing with my 3pt forks but I think I'm gonna make another set of fork because I don't like the fact that my rear 3pt forks aren't adjustable just like yours. It would be nice to move them around for different situations.

I made a set of forks a few years ago that slid on my bucket and tightened down with a T-handle screw (You can see the T-handles I cut off in the background of pic 2). I liked jwaynejtx's idea and modified mine so I can use them front or back. Mine are also in fixed position but I rarely need to adjust them. This was my weekend project.
