I followed all the links and looked at the pix - and also found an
actual propane-fueled fork lift on E-Bay. It's over in Davenport and
has been bid up to $380. My next door shop neighbor has an old Bendix
that I may be able to buy for about $300, but both of these take up a
bit more space than I'm ready to give up (yet).

Thanks, all!
