Will the 52 Year Old Fork Truck RUN? & Can I DRIVE it HOME? ~ RESCUING a 1960's Fork Truck ~ Part 2

The Spark Plugs were MISSING for YEARS. There was a mouse nest on TOP of EVERY cylinder. The motor was totally LOCKED UP. The Carb was FULL of white power. The distributor was BROKEN in half, and it needed a NEW head gasket............Now Do you REALLY think I'll drive it home?!?
Join me & this machine will amaze you!
~
First off this is a late 60's Hyster (not a 70's, I was wrong) H60C Fork Truck that has a lifting capacity of 7000lbs. This machine has a 6 cylinder Gasoline F227 Continental Flat Head Engine. It has a HystaMatic transmission, which is basically a hydra-static style transmission, meaning it's an automatic and has no clutch, which is good and bad! It has air tires in the front and they look like they are holding air just fine!
Now for the bad!
The previous owners took out the spark plugs and for whatever reason they NEVER PUT THEM BACK IN! Then the machine was stored OUTDOORS where the weather and mice decided to fill up the top of the motor with rain and NASTY mouse nests!
As of recently, it was given to the guy I got it from due to it's issues. Since then he decided he didn't have the time to spend to make the machine usable again, and he was planning to scrap it!
That's where I came in, and I'm betting the motor is LOCKED UP!!
Let's find out if this 42 year old forklift is even salvageable and whether or not I should spend the time it might take to save it, we both know I WANT TO!!
I've been looking for a forklift in this size range, especially one that can drive on gravel / uneven surfaces, and I REALLY hope this machine is saveable!
Let's find out!

at the 3-4 minute mark...at the lower right (camera view) of the points there is a little hole with a slot in the points unit, and a slot in the distributer...you tighten the points screw so it grips a bit then stick a small screwdriver in that hole so that you can lever the points around as you check with the feeler gauge ...very simple...once they are at the gap you want, you tighten the screw a bit more and recheck that the gap didn't change...

[@jacquejecker4435]

glad i read the comments. I was going to make the same point. It is sure better than the fumbling you have to do to hold the points tight on the gauge, hold them against the cam, hold the gauge in them and then tighten the screw with your spare hand.

The seals on the control valves are "O" rings just under the cover plate on mine. You have side shift, I'm jealous! I maintained on of these H60's for a manufacturing plant in the 1990's. The driver did everything he could to break it. The best he could do was to break two sets of ujoints. I now own one that lived at a fertilizer plant. MAJOR corrosion!! Burns oil like it's free, but it holds down on the mosquitos... It's off road ability is great! I've used it for logging a tree or two on my little "farm".

The leaking hydraulics are normal it's from sitting , ESPECIALLY the control module , it just needs a seal kit and a flush and it should work fine. I fixed a forklift when I was working for the army that had a problem like this. Sat for years and the seals just got hard and stopped working.

I once saw a guy "fix" a leaking oils seal on a power steering unit by draining the oil out of it and filling it with gasoline, just the pump itself. Left it an hour or two then drained it and put the correct fluid back in, it was on a big old Dodge RAM camper truck. It did not leak after this and I drove it 12,000 plus more miles. Nope it wasn't me it was a country repair shop where I stopped to buy more power steering fluid. Anyone else seen this done or is it quite normal ?.

Totally incorrect - The standard tyres were pneumatic. Minimum 80 PSI. Solid tyres were used in locations were punctures were prevalent.

When a load of lumber was ready to be transported, a logger would yell "hoist 'er". According to the Hyster Company web page, this term became synonymous with Hyster trucks." (Google, of course!)

[@sshep7119]

Don't worry about weeping, gushing, holding, etc. Rebuild every cylinder...period!. Buff the rods (unless they are trashed), repack everything. Just because a cylinder is not leaking heavily doesn't mean that the seals are not dry, and brittle. You are moving some heavy stuff around at your place, dont be that guy and risk it. The repacking kits are NOT expensive, and it isn't worth risking loosing a seal with a load on the forks. The front shoes for the breaks are available, cut the rotors, replace the lines. Don't be cheap when it comes to the safety of the machine. The rear steering cylinder is easy to pull off and repack as well. How you handle the repairs to the safety and lifting systems will tell A LOT about you and your priorities. A name....since you salvaged it how about calling it "Sal"

[@aviewfarfaraway8560]

More accurate method for setting points: there is a slot built into the distributor and the points for a slotted screwdriver (visible on the right side of the points in your video) that enables you to twist the screwdriver to open and close the points before locking them down. The drawback to adjusting them the way you have done in the video is that there is some residual spring in the points, and when you remove the gauge after tightening the screw they’ll close slightly making the gap smaller than what you set. Using that slot enables taking that tension off the spring steel before locking.
