Here are the pictures I've been waiting for a digital camera to post for over a year. Well, we finally got one.

Pallet forks are great. I think I use them as much if not more than the bucket. The forks are from a scrapped forklift which I obtained for $50 after some dickering. The rack I designed a built myself. They do adjust side to side and have locking notches as they did on the forklift. I still haven't gotten around to painting the rack yet, but someday it will of course be JD green.

those forks look great!

but reply to your own message and check the "I want to preview my post and/or attach a file" box and then continue and upload a picture and keep doing this to post pictures instead of starting new threads.
Again nice tractor and great looking machine!

That's a really nice setup where it can be used on either front or rear of the tractor.

great job Mike - you paint those green and you can sell them back to a dealer!!! (I gotta get me some bigger drill bits - don't have anything big enough to drill the holes for the three point hitch lower bolts.). Great set up and looks like it was a fun welding project.

gerard, just to be clear, the forks are Matt4200s, I simply combined 6 separate posts, each with a single picture, into a single post.
