          I posted when I made them, they are in this very forum on page 2, April 2011, Pallet Forks. A nice weekend project.

            Those look great Eric, nice work.

            I have a pair of medium sized fork lift forks. Going to make a TPH fork lift, in my spare time.

              Me too Bob. The fellow I'm getting the wood from has a home built aluminum pallet thingy on his three point. A really sweet TYM 450 tractor, gives me tractor envy for sure.hailking Their USA headquarters used to be right down the street from my store. Some moron manager sold the Koreans on the idea that someplace big that doesn't even know what a tractor is would be a better place.yell  A really, really nice piece of equipment though. Me, I get pallets multiplying like rabbits at my store and pick the best to take home. Nothing like going out to get wood at 2:00 AM in the dark and stepping through a cheap pallet to figure that one out roflmaoroflmaoroflmao

                  Looks like a back saver! I had buddy ask about bucket forks just the other day, going to send him here to take a look.

                  Tinbender,
                  Are they still “Store Bought Purdy”? Ya know, in the first pic, it almost looks like the push bar on your Chevy is a grill guard on your tractor, which I thought would be a great idea when hauling logs and anything else with a chain. Love your old chevs. My 72 3/4 ton is still earnin his keep too.

                    They do still look purdy in the pictures, but most of the paint is gone. I may blast them and trade out material with a powdercoat customer just to see if it holds up any better. I doubt it though, it's no magic bullet.
