Hi. I have a Hyster forklift, Serial #A3D 2687C
I don't know anything about this lift, except that it when I view Hyster pictures it looks like either a YE40 or a HE50.
It seems that starter is bad. I put in a new battery and it just clicks, but when I jump start it with the new battery in place it does start, and runs pretty well.
So I am looking for a number of things:
1. What year is this forklift?
2. How many pound lift is it?
3. Which model number is it?
4. Any hints on where I can go to find a starter?

Thank you so much.

More information, a Hyster YE40, 4 cyl. lp gas lift

Hi. I have a Hyster forklift, Serial #A3D 2687C
This lift is a YE40.
It seems that starter is bad. I put in a new battery and it just clicks, but when I jump start it with the new battery in place it does start, and runs pretty well.
So I am looking for a number of things:
1. I think it is a 1959 or 1960.
2. It lifts 5,000 lbs.
3. It is a YE40
4. Any hints on where I can go to find a starter?

It is a 4 cylinder and uses lp gas. The starter on it now is a Delco Remy Model 1107163, Serial #8H26. Stamped on starter is the number 1936935
A parts place said they thought a HY118616A starter would fit it, but the solenoid is mounted 180% off from the starter on it now, on the opposite side of the starter (see pictures)

Thank you so much.

Ok, so now I know a little more, see above. Thanks.
