Abandoned 70s Toyota Forklift | Will It Lift Again?

Ike has had this old Toyota forklift for years, and it’s been sitting abandoned behind one of his houses for at least 8 years. It ran when parked (but needed maintenance). We need a forklift for our new shop, so Ike brought over the old Toyota gas forklift and we get it running and put it back in service!

Forklift tech here, looks to be a Toyota 3fgpu10. Parts will be hard to come by as Toyota marks up older parts an insane percentage. Best bet would be an aftermarket supplier using the above model # or using the carburetor to source a kit. I can help more with better pictures and parts sourcing, as the company I work for is a Toyota dealer.

[@anesthetized7053]

hope they see this!

[@an04ker]

Who’s buy from a dealer. TVH all the way.😜

[@FarmerFpv]

They should just put a Predator 212 in the forklift.

[@joshuagarcia8547]

@@FarmerFpv two 212s. At 9000 rpm.nice. speed forklift

[@dancearoundtheworld5360]

Toyota guy here, I think they should mod newer style parts for it like solid rubber tires and a cushion seat

[@CarsandCameras]

Sup ladies😎 yeah, I got a forklift

[@WildfoxFabrication]

But do you have your forklift license? 🤔

[@DaxtonAnderson]

Y'all need to add awnings around the front 3 sides of the building so you can store your projects around the outside! It'll cut down on shop space and give you guys a place to chill.

[@hoosierproductions06]

After watching you for years, it is so much fun to see you guys working on larger projects. Love yall!

[@jacksonledford6874]

It's actually becoming cars and cameras not just karts

[@caseyjones1999]

Forklift is a great addition. I love that it's the classic Toyota lasts forever forklift. They had to take the zinc out of the oil because it plugs catalytic converters along with lead. But for off-road and race applications it's great for flat tablet cams

[@charlesgunzelman3323]

You can just use Diesel engine oil for non-catalytic motors. It's still got zinc in it. We use it on dirtbikes and other motorcycles.

[@NoWr2Run]

@@charlesgunzelman3323 YES, STP IS A JOKE.

[@kentkirkpatrick7953]

Has nothing to do with the cat getting clogged. Should not be burning oil anyway...

[@vonanglin7468]

Build a platform or shelf around the inside perimeter of your new shop. Make it big enough and high enough to put all your small projects on. Since you have a forklift now you can lift them up out of the way. Would help create more floor space

[@faolan571]

That’s a great idea, would look awesome too

[@taurincochran3398]

You guys are really establishing yourselves! So proud of you guys! Congratulations Charles!

[@AgentWest]

Put an LPG carb on that lift so you can use it inside! As for fork extensions, some C channel works nicely, but keep in mind that with longer forks lift capacity is essentially reduced. Be careful with that. And since this one can not side-track like that three wheel piggyback one, get a mower front axle and make a steerable dolly out of it if you plan on moving more long stuffs (boards, pipes, metal stock) with it. The dolly won't have the same capacity as the lift, but at least you will be able to move stuff with it instead of doing that whole 'dog with a long stick' maneuver.

[@watahyahknow]

now that you have a forklift it prolly be a good idea to install a pallet rack on one side of the shop so you can stack up the projects and karts all the way up to the roof one thing i know is that thse forklifts use a toyota car engine mightn be industrial adapted (like a chaindrive for the cam stuff like that ) that zink additive prolly makes a good engine assembly lube , it thick sticky and slippery

[@FoolOfATuque]

Yeah they are planning to rack go karts and Mini bikes on their wall there from what I remember on past videos.

[@bashr52]

I've been meaning to tell you guys for a while now to look into Brad Pen oil. It's specifically formulated for flat tappet cams, as it has high levels of ZDDP. I run it in all my air cooled VW builds and I've never had an issue with a flat or prematurely worn cam.

[@larryalexander4833]

Appreciate the heads up I'll look into it .

[@danf4616]

Zinc additives in oil tend to ruin catalytic converters over time. Safe, of course, to use in older machines like this and pre-cat cars.

[@Ratkill9000]

Not always the case. Zinc is used in high mileage engine oils to help.

[@c0c0asauce]

@@Ratkill9000 The active ingredient is phosphorus and that is added through a component called ZDDP (Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate.) For products that meet the ILSAC GF-5 specification, the phosphorus levels for the oil must be less than 800 ppm phosphorus. The ILSAC level for phosphorus has been reduced to protect the catalytic converter and other emission protection equipment. I usually use a ZDDP additive in my first starts and in older style engines with solid tappet/lifter setups. Apparently the additive is illegal in some places. I bet those places do strict emissions testing and have very high rates of catalytic converter theft.

Any vehicle can be pre-cat with a sawzall and a little pipe.

Happy New year guy's and Thankyou BendPak for being one of "our guys" new sponsors I can't wait guys knowing how fastidious John seems to be the shop is going to be fantastic I bet it was so hard walking away for Xmas knowing you had all those new presents waiting to open when you got back? Remember safety first guys when using Forklift Sally and working with the hoists it's not the drop that kills you it is the sudden splat in this case. Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺 😁

[@chopshopminibikes170]

Happy new years! Loving the new shop. Keep up the great footage

[@DaxtonAnderson]

Once Junkyard Diggs is through that property of cars, Isaac should invite them out with their camper for a few weeks to get a bunch of his cars running+driving so he can start moving them. Isaac we all see you trying hard on your channel, but they'd be able to knock out a bunch of cars in a short timeframe of all the cars with little problems you don't have time for. I'm sure they'd do it for free just for the content on their own channel 😂

[@vicguy01]

I pulled wrenches on those old forklifts for 5 years. The Toyotas were really easy to work on. You should be able to find the parts you are looking for at a company called Total Source.

[@isomer13]

Good to hear about Charles and the new addition to his family. I said it before but, yeah. Looking forward to the coming builds and episodes. Love this channel.

[@adrockey]

Great video guys. I'm a Ford man till the day I die. When I was in Arizona doing a lot of off-roading I loved my Toyotas. There's some serious quality in a Toyota. Plus for the last 16 years I've driven a off-road forklift outdoors in Iowa. Someday I'll have my own small forklift like that. I'm always finding things that I could use a forklift for and you guys are definitely going to find out how handy it is. Just like you said tired of working on the floor put that go-kart up in the air on the forklift. I'm glad you guys just clear-coated it because it looks cool.

Nice little forklift. I needed a small one here but have decided to build it from stuff i had around plus some surplus purchases. amazed that fired up so easy.

@@FarmerFpv 🤣 That would be hilarious! .... but a classic Toyota engine converted to LPG would be way more rad.... And a lot less toxic inside the shop, being breathed...Not to mention the old rusty tank can now become a weight/ballast, instead of a fuel tank...

What a cute little forklift! 😍

[@cpayne5]

A good fleet oil for you guys would be Rotella 15w-40 diesel oil. It has enough ZDDP in it to protect all your flat tappet engines. If you want a synthetic, or a better flow rate when cold, you can use Rotella T6 5w-40. Both are great oil and better than a modern SM/SN/SP+ZDDP additive, imo. The SBC in your old truck will love either, as well. You could run this oil in pretty much everything you guys have. Both can also be used with wet clutches, too. So, motorcycles/atv's.👍

Seeing you guys playing with STP reminds me of a time I wanted to grind valves on an engine, but I lost my grinding compound. I had made my own compound before using heavy grease and some grit from the shop bench grinder. I didn't have any heavy grease that day, so I tried using STP. It would NOT work! Any time a particle of grit got pinched while in the STP solution, the grit pushed out of the space, leaving only STP between the two surfaces! Try it, its truly amazing!
