The original subject was "Old Clark Y20 forklift yardlift".
Ok, so I actually drove the old Clark out of the shop under its own power for the first time last night! 3 new tires, new wheel cylinders, master cylinder and a carb swap and she was good to go. It is missing the floor plated and gas pedal (see picture), so I'll have to fab up something. It is also missing the gas tank, so I'll mount a little mower tank and battery on the engine cover. It'll be ugly, but I think it'll work. The original battery is in the rear and you have to remove the big weight on the back to get to it. I really need this little machine to lift my new compressor up to the loft in my new shop building. Hope it can handle it!
