Ford 555D Adding forks to bucket

Setteduke ยท 2020-06-25 12:58

Picked up a set of forks. Any suggestions on the hardware needed to weld to bucket. Is there a way I can just have them stay on the bucket and flip back when not in use? Picture of forks attached.

    Most TLB forks are designed for use with a Top of bucket set of reverse hook plates, the forks can stand until needed then dump bucket fully drive up catch shaft with hooks and curl back, Likely can find a dealer with some attachment plates in stock or find a tractor out and about take some measurements to set up a steel buy manufacture own. These are on the net but will require skilled welder and a set diagram for your tractor. https://www.palletforks.com/skid-st...ClpTPeYrVzwLZsemHIzm8mr8cSvvF1mxoCWu0QAvD_BwE
