A while back I finally broke off the tabs that lock the forks to my skidloader plate. NH has a simple way to do it with 4 tabs welded to the bottom back of the attachments and an angle top bar that hooks over the top plate. I had converted some forks from a bobcat that had a whole bunch of junk welded on the back,---VERY complicated set-up, so I cut 50 pounds of junk off and welded the tabs on to match my NH along with a top angle and did it all with the torch in a hurry. This was 25 or 30 years ago and it all held til I got the brainy idea to subsoil with the forks! ---NOT their intended use I know but going slow all was fine til I hit an old concrete foundation at the edge of the garden and broke my tabs off. anyway I got fancy and cut some new ones out with the metal cutting band saw and am about ready to weld them on. I cut them out rough then ground them down to close shape of original NH tabs. Copied a tracing of the original tabs on my bucket and went from there. Raining here today so cant weld them on,---gotta work in the wood shed instead! some pix of the new tabs. I also used thicker metal this time too! LOL!
