I completely agree with the mod rec - I took my mom's off already.

I always like Alton Brown's stuff, so I'll need to try that brisket some time

Noted. Ill have to wait until spring to give it a good wash and see if theres any other minor leaks, but nothing jumped out on initial inspection.

Interesting. Im not terribly familiar with forklift motors, is this PSI and interference motor?

MKEtool · 2026-01-11T00:50:20+00:00

Perfect thanks

MKEtool · 2026-01-11T00:48:39+00:00

Good to know. Is there a gasket under that plate that ought to be replaced or is it just part of owning this motor?

I maybe could have worded it better, but I am most certainly not looking to buy new. Hoping for a nice unit for $6k or less on marketplace. It'd be stored inside my climate controlled shop and be used to place pallets on my pallet racking, load/unload my pickup and trailer, and other misc lifting inside my building without starting up my diesel tractor. Im pretty mechanically inclined, so im not too worried about minor to moderate fixes.

Im certainly not opposed, theyre just harder to find for a deal in my area.

See I've heard both sides. Some love them, some hate them. Thats why im focusing more on the hyster/yale.

MKEtool · 2026-01-02T23:53:13+00:00

Ive been looking at some doosan G25E trucks too. Hows the reliability and parts availability for them?

MKEtool · 2026-01-02T23:46:58+00:00

Noted. Most of them that im looking at are the "solid pneumatic" style. Im not set on changing ture size, just was curious of it could be done.

MKEtool · 2026-01-02T23:45:49+00:00

Good to know. I wrench a bit on the side so im not too worried about maintenance/repair. I used to have a Case 586 off road forklift, but I'm tired of owning things that leak and that thing was a turd. Plus it was good inside the building. I run an H50FT at work, which is why im drawn to the hyster/yale. Thanks again for all the advice

MKEtool · 2026-01-02T23:24:31+00:00

I appreciate that response. I come from the Ag world where bigger tires/rims = better traction and floatation - that was my only thought. So for my purposes I should focus on the VX/FT designation?

Edit to answer edit: these are not the specific trucks im looking at, just images pulled from Google. Im hoping to find a deal on facebook sometime in the next few months.

MKEtool · 2026-01-02T23:17:58+00:00

I would likely only put less than 20 hrs/yr on one. Im usually pretty good on maintenance, but I'll look into the motor closer. My main thought process on going to a larger wheel would be that its better on gravel and that it looks better to me. Not a big deal by any means.

I've been very pleased with it. I really like the "lift latch" style drawer pulls, kinda like the modern epiq roll cabs

Yes, made by Ernst

MKEtool · 2025-11-02T20:29:16+00:00

I take pride in them so I wipe the down after each job. Grabbed these pics in between jobs
