Ok... Unless there are strenuous objections, I'm going to stick the build in the "Generation 8-9" forum. Is that where you were thinking it should go Charlie?

That's fine with me. That's where I hang out anyway!

Sorry doc

Don't worry Blue... I'll get the forklift uploaded alongside Jeannie as soon as I have transferred the Jumbo info over. Then you won't be so lonely.

That's a great plan. I've been wondering how it came out, it was just suddenly being used in a pic you posted.

Also, PM'd a Grote part # to you.

The forklift is still a work in progress. It is running... in that I have repaired the oil pump and put the engine back together. And the lift is functional. But there is only enough electrical work to start and operate the engine. I have to jump the terminals on the starter to turn it over and there is no charging circuit for the battery. I done a fair bit of hefting with it though. I get used hydraulic oil in 55 gallon drums from work to burn in my oil heater in the garage. Everyone of them has come off the truck with the forklift. As did the mill I grabbed from work.

Nice. Do you have a barrel lifter?
If not it is a life changing device.

I don't. When I bring them home from work the drums are on a pallet. I unload them off the truck drive them over to the garage then pump the oil through a filter unit into a 375 gallon tote in the back which the heater draws from.

Then I'd say you don't need one lol.
