Bending forks from a forklift question

Posted by Justin SE IOWA on November 17, 2013 at 17:02:36 from (166.181.80.115):

I have forks and a mast off a forklift. I welded the mast to a plate so I can use them on my little skid loader. One fork is bent down a couple inches. I plan to hook a big heavy duty come along from top of the fork to the end of the fork and heat the 90* bend with a rosebud until it bends back straight. Will this make the fork lose the temper? My skid loader is small and only has a lifting capacity of 800lbs so that would only mean 400 lbs per fork anyway. Any other thought of straightening it out?
