I saw it. It starts right away and seems to function just fine. 10k
capacity. 48" forks.

The age is 30 years old (1981).

Condition is EVERYTHING. Any major repair is more than the value of
the lift. Parts are VERY expensive. They can be VERY hard to work on.

For example, my hyster clutch is weak. I got a quote of $2800 to
repair. And i know it would go $500 over when the bill came. So, drive
till dies; get another.
