When I bought my tractor, it came with some old school clamp-on forks.
I immediately noticed that there were two RH forks, instead of one RH & one LH.
(See the stake pocket for vertical 2x4s, 1st two pics.) When I asked the PO, he said when he bought them mail order, they sent two of the same hand, but they would only correct the mistake if he paid the shipping to return one of his. Being "thrifty" he said no.
They work the way they are, but it has always offended my sensibilities, so I cut & ground some welds, and re-welded the stake pocket on the other side.
I feel better now.
