Dear Mr. Wes Now I will watch even all of your old videos. Don't know why, but I like repair videos about forklifts. Even more if it is green. 👍👌👏 Best regards luck and health to all of you.
A popular way to extend forks is rectangular box tubing sized for a decently close slip fit over the existing tines. Secure with a chain or other quick-release method and enjoy. For indoor use it's often handier to have the original short fork tines and that way you have both.
Slowly working my way through your back catalogue - nice forklift, but it looks like a nightmare (just started part 3, and found that it is...). I've never had any joy with a reman. engine either.
I have a little ugly Clark-C500-30 about 1968. got for free got it to run, runs kinda gutless but hydraulics work and starts easy, first start up after sitting blows a lot of smoke. only 3000 lb. capacity but the one job of moving my lathe and lifting the back of my boys toy hauler to flip the axles has paid for itself. runs on propane. hope all goes well on the project, I don't have the engine skills you do but plug away
i got a freebie scrapped clark, a 1994 model though...had sat outside 2 yrs, thought it needed engine rebuilt- here that was about all that didnt need much :) brakes, mast roller,tilt cyl mount, trunnion cap, lift/tilt controls, tuneup, valvecover gasket, a few seals, steering links, and of course wiring was a total mess... kinda surprised it was all just a bunch of 'little' poor maintenance items that did it in (used trucks dont go for much over scrap these days- this one got wrote of as not worth the time and money). anyways, it turned out to be a really nice truck, took a month or so of evenings...www.flickr.com/photos/90822467@N08/44805143722/
I'd say this is a damn good channel...love the old equipment restoration vids...let's see more buddy..I've seen pretty much all the vids and you have a gift for repair..keep the awesomeness coming...😎
