Forks/receiver for FEL

[uphill]

I recently read a thread on adding forks to a FEL, but now that I have pictures of my attempt, I can't find the thread.

My 2 in. receivers slide over the FEL cutting edge and secures tight with a twist bolt and chains to the back of the bucket so the receiver can't slide foward.
Once the receivers are attached anywhere on the bucket, I can insert the 18 in. or 36 in forks which bolt or pin in the bottom/back of the receiver.
Any device which fits a 2 in. receiver can be used, such as the truck's trailer ball attachment which I failed to include in the pictures.
The 18 in. forks are used for logs,etc and 36 in. forks for pallets and such.
Hope whoever had the previous thread still has an interest.
Thanks.

Mrjimi,
You've been busy! Maybe we ought to call you metalman.
I especially like your tree and root bucket. I'm gonna have one of those one day. I'm sure you'll agree that having the idea, thinking about it, and making the plans are at least half the fun. Using it afterwards is icing on the cake.

Yes sir its a great time searching and looking and making something work That bucket is my favorite toy, I can dig trees and dig shallow trenches and lots more. Next toy is hydraulic PTO to run my Howse 5 foot RC in the front of my skid steer. Property taxes come first now, YUK
