I had a Hyster 8000# outside forklift that I was trying to sell and decided to tear it apart and scrap. It weighed just short of 13,000 so I could almost get what I wanted for it. I pulled the Perkins diesel out and a bunch of parts for other projects. Hated to do it but it has just set at a customers place if I needed to work on his equip. Now he has 2 boom trucks and we haven't used the hyster much. Good part is while waiting to unload part of it I noticed an AC B sitting in the yard. So for part of my scrap money the B came home with me. Can't believe someone scrapped it. Great shape other than motor was stuck. 20 minutes after we got it unloaded we got it to roll over. It had water in #2 & #3 cylinders and 2 stuck valves. Great sheetmetal, new manifold, foot brake conversion, belt pulley, PTO, and hydraulics. So another project! At least it's Orange! On a Case note. Did Case use Perkins 4.2?? in anything. The Perkins is 1968 vintage indirect injected. Good motor, and couldn't let it go.
