I went to look at one thing and brought home another. I have been hunting for one. The loader is great but this thing will be real helpful with getting the shingles on the roof and the addition . I paid $4300 for it I think. I couldn't pass it up. Its in great shape. This thing was really heavy on the trailer . Putting it on lifted the rear of the rear of the truck 1 foot off the ground. We had to put it in 4 wheel drive so it didn't roll away. Here are some picture. Triple mast and side shift. It also has auxiliary ports. Can be driven in the stones or hard dirt. It went as high as the street light on the garage.

LOL, I've been there. Then I had a smaller fork truck that got stuck on every stone. I bought a skid steer and added forks. . But your stuck inside the machine while the forks are in the air. This is really going to come in handy. My son has to keep all the machines in the area of the jib crane so he can load blocks and heavy work. This is going to let him move machine equipment around and still be able to load them with engine blocks. Some of the diesel motors are heavy.

We use to have an old loader with a hook welded on the bucket. That thing was the greatest when I first got it. I could pull a motor anywhere. When that thing died I was lost.

Are you going to part this one out too?
Lots of guys would love this as their daily driver !
 
I hauled the old Nissan to the scrapper. Kept the Tank wish I would have saved the long forks. It fell off the trailer in Northampton. What a day that was. I had to drag it into Redners lot and go get the loader . Someone got it on Video and sent it to my son not knowing who I was. They said "watch this, This guy is a real idiot plus many more words and names. He never tied this fork truck down. My son saw it was me . He said the guys and him were laughing so hard they were doubled over
 
Nice score! It’s always funny until it happens to you, one day they’ll be the ones getting laughed at fighting something big, heavy, and without conscious in a public area.
 
15 years ago I bought a 50's era Yale propane forklift on ebay... turned out it was sold by a farmer just a few miles away. $285.00. No brakes.

I towed it home on a borrowed trailer with a solid steel floor. Rebuilt the brakes. Ran good for the price.

Then a few years later I decided to rebuild the Continental engine. Did that... but found that one of my friends who did some of the disassembly had lost the "dashboard" with all the gauges, wiring, charging system, etc. I wound up selling it for $900.00 to a scrapper!
 
I have a useless indoor only forklift. I use it a lot, for what i paid it worth every penny. I had an identical one with taller mast given to me,now its even better!
