Forks, forks, and more forks

[djw250]

Well, like everybody else, I decided to build myself some forks. I went back and forth about design between the clamp-on or chain-on types, and even considered some other designs, but decided on a hybrid between the two. The forks clamp on for quick, light duty work, and if it's something heavy I can chain or strap them on for added security. They are made with 2 pieces of 2X2X1/8 tubing each, and probably weigh about 50 lbs. The best part is I made them from stuff I had laying around and didn't buy a thing except some welding rods and a can of paint. They are Rustoleum Sunrise Red to match my Mahindra 3510. Here are a few pictures of the finished product.

OOPS, those pictures are huge. I'll try again.

Hey I have a workout machine like the one you have .... Not the brand, but where it is stored!

Yeah, I probably need to use it, but who has the time. My son uses it though.

Back when I worked in heavy equipment (younger & stronger), a guy asked me one time if I worked out. I told him no, I just work.

Nice job on the forks.
