So I picked up this 5000lb forklift at an auction and I'm wondering if anyone can help me identify more about it.
What I can figure out is it's a Yale/Eaton, it's Liquid Propane, has a Chrysler Slant 6, and its pretty old.
The Model number appears to be: LB3C050SAS102
I haven't figured out what year it was made, any hints on how to figure that out? The identification plate is really worn and I don't see it on there.
It needs a little work, but it does function. It's hard to start in cold weather, but it will run. The hydraulics work. I had to put brake fluid and coolant in it. It's missing a couple belts, and they seem to be a very odd size. There are two 1/4" grooves, for I suppose two 1/4" belts? Long belts though, none of the local auto parts places could help me out. I ordered a couple from the interwebs, but I'm just hoping I chose something that will work.
The things last oil change was in 2007, according to the date written on the filter, so it looks like it's been sitting around for a decade. The battery was so dead, none of my chargers could recognize that it was a battery and wouldn't even attempt to charge it.
But in any case, I'll probably have more follow up questions as I work my way through this little project.
