Ohh how boys will be boys! Man. I wish that fell into my yard! All I get are toads, squirrels, and bills.
Btw. Yah. What he said. .

Way to go Jim, congratulations on finding a free soon to be moneymaker!

But the real question is: Why does anybody need 3 forklifts?

Jim,

Sure you need to keep collecting.
That way I can show my wife these posts and use them to show that I do NOT have enough tools and equipment.

Nice score.

Ditto


Kinda makes my score of the letter stamps I got for $15 and the like new Rigid shop vacuum for $30 seem insignificant

A little update. So far I haven't found any real problems. The hydraulic oil was about 1.5 gal low, the question here is where did that oil go? There are no hydraulic oil leaks anywhere that I have found yet. The motor oil was a quart low. The coolant was about a quart low, but clean. No oil in the coolant as originally thought. The transmission is at the full mark. I charged the (brand new) battery and fired it up. Only found one small oil leak from one of the lifter cover gaskets, a common problem on these. It's a GM 4 cyl and has the side lifter covers. About a 20 minute fix. No other leaks found.

It runs great and everything works. A few small fixes are needed: The propane tank latch needs a new screw, a small TIG welding project. I'll replace the valve cover and side cover gaskets, and needs a small exhaust leak fixed. I'll also do a motor oil change and change out all of the filters.

After the above is done, it will be ready to sell, that is if I can actually bring myself to actually sell a tool. The thought of that is painful, but it means I can buy more toys.
