1960 fork lift redux
Larry Jaques fired this volley in
:
I wonder how many of those parts are manufacturable by the home
machinist. Probably a pretty low number.
The engine, et. al., and tranny are probably not, nor easily replaceable,
but they are tough and built to last forever.
Most of the top-end parts like the carb kits and ignition parts are still
being made. The chassis/body/weight-bustle isn't going to fail. All the
hydraulics and mast components could be duplicated by any competent
metalworker. The hydraulic pump is a standard high-volume heavy-duty
truck power steering pump, still available.
Bearings, axles, etc, are standard items that were standard then, and are
still so now. 'Git 'em at NAPA.
