Very cool, love the forks.

If a bolt breaks off, I weld a nut on the broken end, I ve even done this when the end was recessed a bit. The heat helps the stuck bolt and you can use a wrench on the nut just like the bolt never broke. Wire feed is my preferred welder for this. Jeep Water pump bolts seem to volunteer for this fre...

Wow, what a mess! thanks for sharing

That would be very handy! My ground is full of rocks though, what beautiful dirt you have
