The $400 Forklift Lives!!! (Part 2)

[@ChromecastM8]

How good is watching something other than an LS get fixed.

[@rogerhector5885]

bit of a change.

[@ChristianPareATLAS]

Totally agree. Nice to learn a bit of everything

[@MaxC925]

im so sick of seeing LS engines

[@azuthal]

[@joeeuston]

Dude what a gem of a channel. only 7k subs? Criminal. Feels like a breath of fresh air compared to so many other channels lately. Keep the vids coming

[@BustedBeaters]

Appreciate it! Slowly but surely

[@Rockport1911]

What amazes me most is that there are even new parts available for a 30 year old forklift. Yes its pricy but atleast available. Also between pressure washing oily stuff in the driveway and running his forklift out in the street something tells me this guy doesnt live in an HOA :)

[@BustedBeaters]

I was surprised that I was still able to find parts for it too. I imagine there's a lot of these old machined out there and there's a market for them. Hahaha no HOA but I am within town limits. Waiting for the letter in the mail!

[@79tazman]

Rebuild kits are readily available it's the actual transmission parts like the drum and other pieces that they don't make anymore but there are places you can get good used parts if need be.

[@Works_Garage]

I worked for toyota, i could get parts for any toyota a client had no matter the age, only price was the issue XD Oldest one i worked on was and got running was from 1989.

[@johndillon3689]

I needed parts for a 30 year old Honda 750 motorbike almost everything available. I did have to get second hand exhaust valves from a breaker in Toronto

[@jd-pf2oc]

Exactly what I was thinking lol

[@intosound913]

you found the secret back door to being "Forklift" certified, just buy your own.😊 great work man!

[@BustedBeaters]

That was the goal! And good luck pulling my certs when I hit something! Lol

Great video, i love when i find a channel with someone who just loves what he's doing. Can't wait for part 3. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

Hey! Thanks for watching!

[@unclea8148]

Very nice job. The 5 series Toyota is one of the best, I know of many with over 25,000 hours, 4Y engine lasts forever. As a forklift mechanic for almost 30 years I have to commend you on tackling this job, great to see young guys getting it done.

[@BustedBeaters]

Thanks! This is great to hear! I don't think I will put even close to that many hours on this one! Should last a very long time!

Damn it I NEED more forklift repairs in my life lol. Well done. Can't wait for the next one. Look forward to that square body in the back too.

[@BustedBeaters]

Thanks! Not sure what direction to take the truck just yet. I have a hard time getting rid of vehicles lol

[@JohnBarra-mf6vd]

I’ve rebuilt a few of those. Very simple. Take your time and pressure test everything before you put it back in the machine

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Great camera work and editing. Loads of shots and you didn't hold on anything too long. Super video

First time here, i do maintenance to machines, don't know much about cars mechanic or forklift, but that was two amazing videos, the First and second Part... I'll be waiting for the Next Video

[@BustedBeaters]

Appreciate that! I'm not an expert either. Just learning as I go!

[@astron4606]

Did not expect a forklift to have such a large engine and transmission, can bet you could power a car or truck with it in a pinch 😮

[@BustedBeaters]

I bet you could as well! They used this engine in some of the pickups back in the day

[@StaticVapour590]

I did not expect it to have torque converter and such transmission at all. I expected to see some sort of CVT or planetary gear thingie like on excavators I think (not familiar with forklifts or excavators)

[@TheAwesomeSam]

i have no interests in forklifts or engines/transmissions rebuilds, but i am enjoying this series so far. the videos are very informative. looking forward to part 3

[@BustedBeaters]

Hey! Appreciate that!

[@ArcoTwentyOne]

This was really fun to watch! Great job making sure everything was well lit and easy to see.

[@BustedBeaters]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dimitristewart2238]

Another little tip from your neighborly forklift tech grease the trunion grease fitting (lower mounts on the mast) on either side of the axle and it’s on the front and back of the rear axle ( these are always the highest wear points

[@BustedBeaters]

Appreciate the tip! I'll be sure to get these areas. They seem like a pain to get to lol

Greaat job young man. I'm impressed

[@an04ker]

I repair forklifts for a job. You should hang the engine off the overhead guard with a chain block when refitting. It makes it so much easier.

[@BustedBeaters]

You know... Didn't even cross my mind but this seems like it would have been so much easier! I'll keep this in mind if I ever have to pull another forklift engine!

[@ZakHesse]

Man, it’s 9:30pm, I’ve been sick all with Crohn’s I’ve just now had the energy to watch some videos and part 1 took energy to watch lol. I’m ready for part 2. Thanks man!

Great work; as a truck driver, those gearboxes would be thrown into gears opposite to the way rolling, hard on clutch plates, so that was no surprise seeing how they came out. Full credit to you for doing it as well as you've done it. reminds me of when I'd be swapping out engines or boxes. My dad would sometimes come out and help.

Transmissions suck! You get all fulla oil no matter what you do. I just rebuilt my A904 trans and still waiting on the pump seals to come in. Then the fun part of putting the slimey thing back up and in my truck. So far i'm loving your videos. : )

[@RandomDude320]

BADASS , Keep it up !🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SuperchiefApache]

So, for your information, Valvoline makes the same fluid for Napa, and less expensive. Also, you can always use scotch brite on the steels of the clutch assembly. If they’re not scored, or heat warped, then that is one less part to purchase. Amazing video bruh!!

[@BustedBeaters]

Ohh nice! I had no idea. It's crazy how many factories pump out the same thing under different labels. I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever run into this again. Thanks!

[@dpsilver1]

Good job on soaking the plates, usually trans clutches recommend that you soak them for a minimum of 2 hours before installation, a friend of mine soaks them for a day. There is also a downside to not soaking them some clutches may burn if you don't soak them

[@BustedBeaters]

This is good to know! This is right in line with what I was seeing online

[@Jason-co9ep]

Wow, that was quite the undertaking! I have a forklift (or two) in similar condition, so I would definitely be interested in a price breakdown on what it took to repair. Great job man!

The seal between the diff and the trans is usually the reason of the failure. The diff oil is not compatible with the trans friction plate adhesive. Believe me I learned the hard way.

[@AndrewX192]

This series has made me glad I got a Toyota 8 Series Electric for scrap value and thus far have only had to throw some golf cart batteries + and a 1000lb of counterweight material at it.

[@BustedBeaters]

Yeah I imagine they're much simpler machines. I would consider electric but the batteries are so expensive. Sounds like you found a way to keep the cost down!

[@AndrewX192]

Yep, if you want new batteries so you can run it all day then you gotta shell out the 4-5k AND invest in a suitable charger to get enough current into the battery to avoid stratification. Most PIT chargers are 480V/3ph so that pretty much rules out new 800Ah batteries. That said, most of us probably don't need a truck to run all day, and thats where a few GC2 or L16 batteries come in. I can unload some pallets or move heavy stuff around easily with minimal noise, maintenance, and high precision and charge on any 120V outlet when I need to. The shop crane & counterweight moment you had in the part 1 video was relatable. I had similar struggles trying to get the old 2200lb battery out. I ended up tying the crane to a SkyJack and using that to pull the shop crane out since it was impossible to move the shop crane on my own.

[@BustedBeaters]

That's so cool! It never even crossed my mind that you could put a smaller battery in them if you don't need them to run as long. You're right, most people would never need to run a lift for an entire day. I was also concerned with the charging requirements but, like you said with the smaller batteries, being able to charge on 120v is a game changer. Hahaha yeah, It's a real struggle. Before I attempted to move the counterweight I was thinking "how hard could it be?". 2K lbs is a lot of weight! Sounds like you got it done though!

[@brianmooney7009]

You are very talented. Your the first person ive ever seen torque spark plugs. Great job snd great video. Just curious how old you are. You seen realy young snd are very knowledgeable. Thanks Brian Long Island NY 😊

[@BustedBeaters]

Appreciate that! I have a fear of overtorquing them and stripping out the block lol! I'm not as young as I look. Low 30's!

[@spartan8892]

Nice video bro turned out great! For the 286 dollar steering components you could drill out the hole a little bigger then press a brass bushing in, to clean up the slop and make them serviceable.

[@BustedBeaters]

This is not a bad idea. I was thinking about welding it shut and drilling out the hole out again but, this seems like a much simpler option

[@79tazman]

I just want to say your the first person ever that I have seen use a torque wrench on the spark plugs

[@BustedBeaters]

Yeah. I'm always afraid to over tighten them and strip out the block

[@lawrencegoralski3029]

Take the rear steering joints out. Stake the bearing back in with a chisel or punch, indent the steel around the bearing inwards to hold it in place.

[@BustedBeaters]

I didn't even think about that but it would work! I'm going to have to do that!

[@grumpysgararge5860]

Check the alt pulley to make sure that it is still “v” shaped, yes, pre soaking clutches or required to prevent what happened in your trans, and metal strainer is often just cleaned. Check Hercules seals in Florida.

[@BustedBeaters]

That's good to know. Still pretty new to all of this. I'll check out Hercules Seals! Thanks!

[@the_hate_inside1085]

Noice progress, keep em coming! Yeah lifting heavier stuff without a counterweight installed does not yield optimal results...

[@BustedBeaters]

Nope! Not at all lol. I was hoping it had enough in it to at least move it to a better spot. It didn't

[@MyLifeThai371]

Those parts bills sure hurt. Ouch! Hopefully you don't have a $5000 bill like Robby Layton did when he had his engine rebuilt on his forklift.

[@BustedBeaters]

That's a decent amount of money. I shouldn't be that high! 5k I'd about what a used one of these machines is selling for in working condition

[@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions]

Watching you rebuild that trans was refressing. I am about to pay scrap value for a Hyster H80xl! A 8000lbs rated forklift. 4 front tires all brand nee, worth the money I am paying for the forklift. Was going to try and rebuild the trans myself also. Never done it before

[@BustedBeaters]

That's awesome! I hope it all goes well for you! That's a pretty big forklift! I can only imagine how heavy all those parts are

[@79tazman]

Being propane the oil will look good or should look good all the time I had a car that ran on Propane and when I would change the oil it looked just as good as it went in it burns so clean compared to gasoline. Even the inside of the engine looked like new when I changed the gaskets in it because they were leaking.

Yeah, this one was in very good shape compared to all the other ones I was looking at! I haven't been brave enough to tackle something that's been on fire. Seems like an electrical nightmare!

[@FenrirFabrication]

@@BustedBeaters The electrical is definitely a fiasco. In the process of making my next video doing the complete electrical on the burnt bobcat 7753 I’ve been rebuilding.
