The next problem is taking the wheels off, they are held by nuts that
are 1 3/8" or so wide.

A while back you had a video of a something like a 2" impact wrench.
That will snatch that nut right off.

He sold it not long after he bought it. And it would have been a bit
of overkill for this, plus he would need enough air to get it moving.

For this, something in the 3/4" to 1" impact would be plenty.

The fun part is picking it up to work on it - you need a special
low-profile high-load floor jack to pick it up, so start looking.

Sometimes there's a place for a 'stubby' bottle jack or a "Toe Jack"
they use to get charter bus Tag Axles off the ground - but be careful,
if you drop that fork truck on your toe...

You are also supposed to have special low-boy jackstands for fork
trucks, but that's easily substituted with good cribbing lumber and a
chunk of 1/2" steel plate on top to spread the load steel to steel.

One Good Thing: This one looks like it has enough ground clearance to
go outside and deal with a little snow without getting instantly
stucked. Once it has working brakes, that is...
