Message: <blockquote data-quote="vinito" data-source="post: 90322" data-attributes="member: 12954">This will be together really soon because I can use these all the time.I just happened to see our local "hoarder guru" today out warming his car up, so I pulled in and asked him if he had any forks laying around. He dabbles in trading and selling stuff and has been collecting all kinds of cool junk forever. He asked me what size I was looking for, which hinted that he not only had some, but a few to choose from, hehe. I just said "little" and we walked about 15 feet across his 75 acre lot where a pair of little forks just happened to be kind of buried in the grass. We were almost standing on top of them already.So $25 later we were setting them into the truck. This guy is about 4 minutes from my house. I've been combing Craiglist for a couple weeks - very little even offered and what exists is over $500. They are always set up for a standard quick-attach which mine doesn't have, so I would have been cutting & welding anyway.I just have to saw some pieces, do a little machining and weld the mount together. Yea, that's building from scratch, but a fork bracket is pretty simple as projects go. I may have some working forks before Saturday I think.So for <a href="https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=54&frmView=ShowPost&PostID=89809" target="_blank">my new little convertible</a> I have smooth and tooth buckets, an auger forthcoming, and some much needed forks. Hopefully the auger works as it is but I won't know for sure until I try poking a hole with it. So all my attachments except maybe the auger should be usable at will in the next couple days or so. I'm pretty darned stoked.I'll post some progress pictures of the forks as soon as there's something to show.</blockquote>
