4x4 Forklift: Dana 70 Axles and Skid Steer Tires!

Another forklift followed me home, and this one is a 4x4. It's got a 4 cylinder, 4 speed, 4,000 capacity (maybe), and 4-wheel drive. I'm thinking of it as the 4xforklift...

With Dana 70 axles on both ends and some kind of Ford 4-cylinder engine, it looks like it will be a great rough terrain forklift. That's just what I was looking for in a machine to move stuff around in the mine. Pretty much everything on it is worn out or broken, but that just means lots of fun in fixing it!

That is a TCI H4m-50, 525A or 525B, the serial number is stamped on the top of the frame next to your left foot. Almost all parts and manuals are still available from Herculift Manufacturing in Schofield Wi. The 4-speed range transmission is a borg warner T-18 and the forward/reverse transmission is a borg warner T-72 velvet shuttle shift, the tee in the brake line is part of the clutch cut-out circuit also called an inching valve. When you press the brakes, a signal is sent to the cut-out valve in the transmission (solenoid operated) allowing you to decrease speed while maintaining full throttle. I would be happy to send you a diagram with part numbers if you want.

Unlike most of your vehicles, you are a finely tuned mechanic and master of improvisational wrench turning comedy. Great stuff!

It's amazing to me that something that moved off the trailer under it's own power is in such an... interesting... condition. This should provide tons of fun and entertainment for years to come!

Who woulda thunk a forklift video could be so entertaining! Im actually watching it a second time. 😂😂😂 Keep up the great work!

Even if it's broken to heck and back, if you got it for only slightly over scrap value, AND he told you how bad it was to the point he bored you... that's (at least he sounds) an honest dude. Most sellers i deal with will resto-paint their trash and tell me a tale. It's gotten so bad that i've started saying asking if it's freshly painted so i don't have to drive over there and waste my time.

One of the most honest channels on youtube.

Anyone else want to see the goo be power washed off?

Who knew that performing basic maintenance that had been deferred for decades would yield such positive results?

Hello! Just leaning back....letting the commercial play before the movie starts. Have a great weekend everyone!
(I originally found this channel from a fork lift video...long ago. )

Travis was right. Almost all parts are available at Herculift. Just so you know, Schofield is right by me.

You make my heart feel better. I bet the old forklift feels better also. When I was still working they had an old Hyster made in the 1940s. It sat in the back of the lay down yard for years at a time, but when needed our equipment mechanic would go fire it up and the job got done. Keep up the good work and don't get too fancy.

The guy who told you that it needed everything from front to back and top to bottom wasn't far off. That's a daunting amount of work. But I like how you take something that's only worth it's scrap value and turn it into something that's actually useful using parts that are probably only worth their scrap value.

How did I not know about this channel. I laughed probably 95% of the time. This guy has good humor.

Always enjoy your unique narratives.
Possible an old Manitou 4x4 rough terrain forklift

It looks like a windham forklift . They used ford parts. The motor is a ford either 134 or a 172 tractor engine. Have fun 👍😊

[pcarson]

As a professional forklift operator, I found this to be highly entertaining. Thank you.

[drewnelson]

I feel like we would be great friends. Hell I've driven on the street with only one front brake. Love your since of humor and all your videos. Keep up the great work
