Hello from Suffolk, VA

[jspelbring]

I'm a part time sawyer and was looking for a decent machine to move logs and lumber around. I stumbled on a Craigslist an old military rough terrain forklift. It's mine now, and even came with one of the printed TMs. I'm hoping to find out more about it, and restore it to its full capabilities.

Welcome to the site.
That looks like a fun project to work on, and it will serve you well when completed.

Might help if you tell us the model and the TM number. The NSN would also help.

Nice machine. What engine is in it?

The original was a gas engine. It was replaced with a diesel from a Ford 5000 tractor
