Thanks for the video. Worked like a charm. Figured there was something fancy I was going to have to do to get it in the new handle because it was so tight. Four good bumps on the concrete floor and it's like new. Thanks!
will be honest, could have done without the first few minutes of personal explanation.. BUT, that being said, the video was very helpful.. Especially the seating of the fork into the handle by driving the butt of the handle into the floor. That alone saved me many swings of the hammer, and worked in less than a minute! So, thank you for taking the time to make the video, it was very helpful.
Ben was right, it was helpful to me. Fork price went from 16-24 dollars when you made this to now I’m seeing 60-80 dollar signs at the box stores and tsc. Can’t even find handles in stores anymore so making one out of hardwood shipping pallet I picked up from an industrial park. Thanks for your help with how to disassemble.
Your Buddy is correct the little things do matter !!! I have a few of the farm the guys trashed ,, I have to look into fixing/replacing the handles .i was thinking it was a lot more to fix with the metal collar . Thanks for the video .. I just learned its a easy fix ..
Thanks for video. Was the shaft on the fork square? If so where did you find the appropriate handle? Been looking locally and all are round. Thanks. Dw
The shaft was round, and I looked for a long time around here as well and finally happened to find one at our local farm supply store. I know that’s not a ton of help but best of luck!
Thanks gents. I end up inquiring at my hardware store. Staff member there had some experience and said the round hole handle works on a square shafted fork head. He had two sizes. Picked the smaller one and drove it in with a wood block and hammer. The square peg in a round hole keeps the head from rotating in the handle. When I got the old handle off I could see it was a round handle too.
It took 2 minutes of introduction about the family and friends to get to the subject. Good information, but way too much introduction. Video could have been done in about 1 minute..
@@scottpetermann5366 It wasn't I didn't like what you said. I just wanted to get on with the information of replacing the handle. I did follow you advise. I had two old broken pitch forks. Took the fork from one and the handle from the other and made one good tool. I also drilled a hole through the steel sleeve and put bolt through. Works great. ( I did have a good day; Thanks)
@@gordonb1528 glad it help even a bit. And I will heed your advice and work to be concise! I appreciate the constructive criticism and with use it in the future! Thanks Man!
Great video and very helpful, I will replace the handle in my fork tomorrow. Thank you.

My shaft on the manure fork is rectangular! 3/4 in by 1/2 in. Help! What size bore might work?

Handles are not cheap. Often cheaper to buy a new tool.
