new holland 4 ever Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I would say nails. I would leave a bit of round nail and then file the rest of the nail down to look like "tines" (square....ish). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 some plastic rod would do just as well, they sell loads of different diameters on it, just file the end f down to make the point, light and glues nice and easy to otherwise try some brass rod, or if you can find it some ally rod, i have some in 2mm dia which makes great forks ect for loader, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 i have used large hair combs in the past may be of some use to you \ the tines are spaced even then as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
