I'm glad there is a forklift section here. I love forklifts. Anyway, a while back I completed a minor restoration of an old AC forklift I purchased for my business. I've worked on several old forklifts, but this was the first one I owned personally. I bought it from a defense contractor. It was used in warehousing as opposed to a production line, so it doesn't have a scary amount of hours on it for it's age. It's a 1981 model with a Continental F245 6-cylinder LP and a 3-stage mast. It will lift 8,000 lbs. If interested, you can check out more details about the machine, with links to more photos of the project, on my blog at this link.
