NO, don't weld them!!! Like was suggested and used by many, make some channel iron extensions to fit over the existing forks. Take some channel that fits over the fork, weld a few plates about 4" long on the bottom to box it in and drill holes to put a pin across the back behind the bend in the existing forks. You only need to add 12". Probably lots of pictures of fork extensions on the net. OSHA really frowns on modifying forks in any way, including just putting a small hole in the fork for a pin to pull things backwards. DON'T ATTEMPT TO WELD FORKS TOGETHER! Forks are certified and modifying them voids the certification. I realize you just want them for your own use but DON'T attempt to weld them. Depending on the particular fork, they might be weldable but even then it would have to be done in a controlled environment done by a qualified welder using a very specific welding procedure. Along the same lines as never weld on steering or suspension components on a vehicle. Anybody telling you otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. 7018 would NOT be the proper rod for welding forks even if they were weldable.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
