Need help identifying what kind of forklift this is every place I go can’t seem to find my model here are some pics. The pic of the forklift is not actually mine but is very identical to the one I have. My model says FT 40 24 C but people say it doesn’t exist Serial Number is 12932047 4,000 pound forklift.

Not the forklift doesnt exist....its A-C.......anyhoo ,its likely to have one of the small tractor motors in it,which due to collector interest are easy to get parts for.....Unless ,you find another fork for spares ,than the rest is a matter of repair or rebuild ,not replace.
 
Looks like a Allis Chalmers "FT" series which would date from late 50s to early 60s. They made FTs from 2000 to 10,000 lbs but I don't know much else. If it is a Allis gas motor then its probably the AC 226 cubic inch Power Crater engine. Pretty much everything is available for that motor. It was used first in the WD-45 then later the D-17 ag tractors along with cotton pickers, combines, and as a skid mount unit.
