    ​​​​Great Find,
    Hyster Parts should be easily available

      I don't know if this is still true but at one time Hyster used their own nuts and bolts of weird sizes and pitches such that you had to buy everything from them at crazy prices. I hope your score is not plagued with that weirdness.

        Nice to have, those little suckers can lift a lot. Here I need a rough-terrain type, happily there's a rental yard close.

              It actually runs but I don't have a propane tank for it yet....

              with a bit of clever, no one died

              and it's now resting

                  Looks like a nice easy way to put a motor in a lifted truck. I'll be doing the job on my 3500 with my engine hoist / crane . I just hope I don't have to take the wheels off and set it on the rotors . Should be great for unloading a box truck of a 632 crate motor !

                          Ever think of using an RV propane tank?
                          they usually have built in gauges

                            I have an RV propane tank... yes, I did.... mounting is an issue, getting it filled is yet another one.

                              in other news, this is leaking

                              not quite sure what it's called....
