yes I have forks for my loader,

but one can not see,
hard on the front axels, (at times impossible), (have considered a review type camera on the loader to see the forks).

has any one build a 3 point unit for the rear of the tractor to work like a real fork lift?

if so have pictures and how do you like it,

The guy I bought my tractor from was a roofer and had the mast from a forklift mounted on the rear. It was homemade but worked for him. Sorry no pics didn't need it so didn't buy it

There was a guy around here that was doing something like that on small case lawn tractors. It was designed to pick up trees at nurseries. I think he sold about a 20 of them.

I see forklift masts with 3pt pins on it and a Sa hose now and then..

Didn't build it, bought it at an auction 10 or 11 years ago. Sold it 4 years ago when I sold the tractor.

Messed up once where I worked we had 3 or 4 old FL that were going to scrap, I DID get the forks and frame for them off one of them and other maintenance guy said take whole mast & make 3pt with it. I said just wanted frame & forks for FEL use... :/ Ya never said I was all that smart lol

The rest of the mast & truck was dropped into dumpster for scrap steel.
