I bought an all terrain forklift.

[@JohnDeereHay]

This video is interesting timing. Been looking over several all terrain forklifts that are sitting in a closed down salvage yard.

[@45Deere9500]

Everything I read and hear is that John Deere starting fluid is the best, 80% ether.

[@MrWisdom79]

Zip ties and bias plies would agree 🤣

[@reedmartin6614]

One thing we've done with our lift is to reverse the forks on carriage slide...mount 'em upside down....looks weird as hell but gives you an extra 30" or so of lift when lifting a component up-over-down....needs a warning lable tho to warn of severe pelvic injury if walking near it in darkness....one of those like decal showing person caught up in a pto shaft....except this would show person doubled over, holding the injured region with both hands etc. Great channel and don't ever slack off on commentary...its right in line with what a huge group of folks think and always nice to hear!!!

[@michaelcarron3418]

Superglue the magnet on the camera. Check that oil dip-stick., purge the fuel filter of water, can of starting fluid, check air filter, look for critters nests, chewed wires. Check the water in the radiator. That starting fluid may get that bead back on the tires.

[@alco4248]

I hear you on the forklift being handy to have around the shop. I have a 5000 pound Hyster pneumatic tire forklift, and a 12000 pound Drott Carrydeck crane, and they are invaluable.

[@73DiamondReo]

when i use the ratchet strap trick i beat the center of the tread with a hammer and keep tightening the strap. it distributes the tension around the whole tire instead of right at the ratchet

[@garyhelms3467]

Hopes this works out for you Warren, I think you need to catch a break....

[@twistin140]

cant wait for part 2 of this one...... nice buy Warren.

[@JPilot2]

G'day, Warren! Great job! I'm so happy for you! What a neat find, and a handy machine to have around the shop. TCI H4M80 All Terrain Forklift 4X4, has a 21' Lift, Side Shift, 6000 lb. Capacity, 4 Speed Trans with Torque Converter Reverser Transmission, fabulous 4 cylinder Diesel Engine. Weighs 10,000 - 12,000 lbs. Plus! It Will Go Anywhere!! By the way... 'TCI Power Products' began making the Dynalift tele forklifts in North Dakota in 1974. It was purchased by Gehl in 1988. The TCI Dynalift was the predecessor of models like the Gehl 663 Dynalift, (TCI which was green OEM color) which was one heck of a good forklift, built like an anvil. And, they're a very nice machine to work on. Telescope cylinder easy to remove, Rockwell external caliper brakes can be serviced without wheel removal, protected hoses on outside of boom to fork level/tilt cylinders instead of inside the boom. The 663 had several nice mechanic features, too. Enjoy! Cheers! :-)

[@f0rumrr]

Looks like a decent tool once all is fixed. Good purchase.

[@DXT61]

I have been told the newer starting fluid had something changed where it doesn't work near as good or not at all for popping beads. A tire shop owner told me that when i couldn't get it to work.

[@davidgriffin14]

"Jonathan W" on KZbin just got a forklift today too. It was a 1957 Champ. Wish both of you luck with them.

[@zukowski2023]

Yeah, your just rolling with the punches Warren, that's good to see. The forklift will be just what you needed around the shop. When you can't rely on people, you can always count on your tools..Thanks for the Share and Stay Safe! Cheers!

[@rangitui2632]

Lulu with Warrens help can fix anything , this guy, with lulu supervising , is a genius , Wazza never gets the shits , but some things come close , if everyone in the world had his wisdom and honesty we would all be in a nicer place.

[@CAPNMAC82]

Seeing Warrren's take on a "Will it Start" is well in keeping with why I keep coming back to the channel.

[@chadsimmons6347]

Hey Warren !!! Can't you pick that mast up with the crane on your truck then chain it ??? Won't need to add good oil over bad as they say !! GOOD find !!! Enjoy it when you get ALL the issues fixed !!

[@Jdigger4130]

I used to see those TCI lifts towed behind trucks a lot I the 80s n 90s. Maybe that lever is a roading disconnect Warren! Killer score

[@davidsparks8436]

We use to have a Gass 4 cylinder ford TCI. It is easy to pop those mast seals bouncing a load across a field...

[@michaeljohnson-jh2eu]

That must be an old a/c Delco alternator. When you use a screwdriver to ground that tab in the rear to full field it. I remember that expression when i worked a a GM dealership

[@mikeshultz1007]

I didn't realize just how bad the new starting fluid is until I used some old stuff. I have a friend who works at a local waste drop off site provided by the city and it's mainly homeowners dropping off old fluids and chemicals when they clean out their garage. He brings me all kinds of cans of good old stuff before california ruined all the chemicals.

[@AshMcFarlane]

that view you see whilst driving is amazing

[@mfc4591]

Nice forklift. No electronic crap. It will be of great help to you.

[@danstafford6347]

The other week, Peg (Zip ties & Bias Plies) found the same issue with lame starting fluid. He switched to John Deere starting fluid and it works like it should.

[@robertbradford7892]

Absolutely great point no electronics, it sounds good.

[@scottdrenske830]

New used toys are always fun tell you get all the bugs out. Little jealous I've been looking for one for while.

[@jasonwells7737]

We had them at the lumber yard in the 80’s, pulled them behind our trucks to the job sites

[@lloyddieter3896]

A little jealous…I need one of those.

[@Mercmad]

I agree,Starting fluid today appears to be full of Soy milk instead of ether. I dont' need it often but it's a hassle when you are trying to fire some worn out engine. I would have loved an all terrain Fork years ago but what we had was an old Fordson tractor with Forks mounted on the back ,the back became the front... so it had the ring gear flipped to give forward gears instead of reverse .

[@airbats801]

gotta get that john deere stuff

[@robertquast9684]

Yup. John Deere is tops Napa has a premium grade that’s a close secong

[@robertquast9684]

I usually have better luck seating beads if I lay the tire down with the rim on a block to push the bead up on 1 side then you are only fighting 1 bead. John Deere ether is the best about 1 second for every inch of width. Forklift tires should be solid filled or at least a good dose of sealant

[@timsatori]

Awesome forklift engine sounds strong

[@deezelfairy]

Couple of ways we get the forks off the ground for transport Warren. 1) Use a hand winch/chain hoist hooked to a mast cross member and the carriage and just winch it up. 2) Use your crane to lift the carriage 2-3 feet so the lift chains are really slack, pull them forwards out the front of the mast then slide a couple of nice 4x4's between the chains and across the mast channels then lower the carriage back down - that'll just get the forks off the ground enough to get it on a trailer.

[@andyfitzgerald6615]

Nice addition to the tool collection,,

[@died4us590]

Thanks for taking us along Warren, love all your stories to, makes this my favorite channel. You do need this rig. God bless.

[@paxnune6368]

Never know what I will learn on this channel - offroad forklift - never knew that was a thing

[@roberthillyer2888]

Either kills an engine, best for cleaning parts, no residue. We take gas and soak a rag , then hold over intake. Or take old inner tube and cut a 8 inch circle around the valve stem , saving the stem. Take that over fuel filler pipe at fuel tank and run hose clamp around it. Plug off breather tube and put air into fuel tank and system. Crack open line at injection pump, then you know you have plenty of fuel. Works well for engine that hasn't run in a long time.

[@johnwaby4321]

It's taking a bit of work to get it going and to get repaired its going to be worth it in the end 👍👍👍👍

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Nice all terrain forklift should be a good one. Once you get all of it problems taken care of stay safe.

[@dougdegraff5892]

As a retired forklift mechanic, the correct way is to chain it is to one of the welded cross bars on the back of the mast. You could lift the carriage up with your truck Crain so you don’t have to waste all that fresh hyd oil. But it’s always your call for your own safety.. I only ever got to work on one of those old TCI four wheel models in twenty seven years , so they are like chicken lips pretty hard to find..

[@kenmccormick3052]

sounds like a great deal for a fellow who can fix stuff!

Nice find. Sounds like she runs pretty good. I have an old Allis Chalmers Forklift, previous owner built a hitch on the back to pull it behind a pickup for transport, not 4wd though. Definitely handy piece of equipment. Looks like some TLC and it will be fine. Thanks for the videos Warren.

Looks great Warren. And you've made good progress on it. That one will be so much better than the little hard rubber wheels that can't grip sandpaper. Should be a lot handier around the shop than the grader, but not for grading roads. You'll still need the grader for that!

Some times you can gently bump the back side of the alternator case with a hammer and get it to charge , the brushes stick some times from brush dust packed around the brushes and setting for a while too , but you probably tried that ........

Warren, the John Deere starting fluid is the best, it has the most Ether in it. It been a while since I looked at a can of it, I think it should have 60% or more Ether in it. 50 years ago JD had 100% in it. Damn companies keep cheapening up products.

[@donrandall2030]

Great find and handy tool. I can understand why your excited. My experience with big tires about the same

[@cwmbc]

ive used a chain winch in the past to manually raise the forks on a 4x4 forklift. then messed with the cylinder once back in the shop.

[@bobjones37450]

From my experience the John deere starting fluid is about the only good stuff left on the market. For that tire you had the tool in your hand to pop it up on the bead with. Shoot a little acetylene in there and light it off.

[@gregshearer423]

That’s just sounds like a recipe for disaster shooting a tyre full of acetylene

[@billw4746]

Warren is going to kick my butt. The man has a service truck with a crane he could lift the fork carriage and chain in up. As long as the lifting chains on fork lift did not bunch up too much. Warren is going to be using this fork lift all the time once he has it back it shape. I have a rough terrain fork lift I use it at the shop and in the field. The only down fall it is a 2 wheel drive but it does have differential lock. But it does have mechanical brakes so I don`t worry leaking brake fluid. If I was down south I would offer to help him part time. It is good to have help with the undercarriage on those D4`s.

Nice score Warren. I had an old military surplus Ross forklift WW2 vintage. It got the job done for us. Old continental flathead engine. Simple 6 volt electrical.

I think that forklift is meant to be towed if needed. The brackets on the side of the mast are to hold the forks folded up and the tabs on the back are for a tow bar.

Spray down all those linkage rods to everything with all that weather and not moving or vibrating to make sure nothing is binding. My column shift tractor stinks until I lube all those linkages and pedals after sitting awhile. Thought I was going to have to take the dash apart. That WD-40 gel formula works good on that king of stuff. You know all the other stuff to do to a long sitting piece of equipment, without knowing its full story, like that rubbing vibrating sounding thingy 😅😅
