sounds like a good deal if it works. From personal experience: Run that V4
regularly or the valves will stick, and if you don't pull the heads
regularly, (to free up the stuck valves), the head bolts will rust in and
break when you have to pull the heads ( to free up said valves). Have fun.
Otherwise it's a nice engine(even runs on only a couple cylinders).

Today I went out and bought a old lewis sheaprd forklift. I am not quite
sure as to the year, but I think it looks like it was made in the 50s. It
is
a stand up version and is a capacity of 4000lbs. The engine is a wisconsin
V4. It seems to wrok well and aside from a bad paint job looks good. As
good
as a 50? year old forklift can look. I was told the engine is a rebuilt
one
rescently put in.

I paid 350 for it. I am hoping this is a good deal. I will not be using it
that often, just a couple of times a week right now.

I am wanting to get a manual for it and find out anything I can about it.
If
anyone has any info about wisconsin engines or lewis shepard forklifts I
would like to hear it.

I guess I just feel like announcing my newest toy
