Re: John Deere 2320 Home made FORKS!
That is an excellent job. They look very sturdy.
I really like the quick disconnect setup.

Re: John Deere 2320 Home made FORKS!
Thanks guys it took a little time cutting the gussets out and getting them all trued up but was well worth it. I got to use the rig today to move around some railroad ties and a small pile of tree limbs seemed to work very well.

Re: John Deere 2320 Home made FORKS!
That looks like it was factory made, you can tell that a lot of time was taken to fit and weld everything right. Very nice!

Re: John Deere 2320 Home made FORKS!
If that was all painted up, I'd have a hard time believing it was home made. Very good job.

Re: John Deere 2320 Home made FORKS!
Hey fireballferkey that is some great fab work on that set of forks. Do you know what class the forks are? I have been looking for set of inexpensive light duty forks, class I or II to use on a project.

Re: John Deere 2320 Home made FORKS!
Hello again FB,
Can you share what you bought for the JD quick attach pieces (JD part numbers)? I've been searching the parts site and can't seem to get results. It seems I might be getting the opportunity to build a pair of these for myself, thanks to being born in this part of the year. Oh well, she asked what I wanted....

Re: John Deere 2320 Home made FORKS!
Nice job on the welding!!!!
You should consider marketing your design. I bet a few of the guys on here would be interested. Scott Fab Manager http://www.welders360.com/ |
