Will it Start? 50 YEAR OLD Lift Needed TODAY !!!

[@shawnmarvin6348]

Timing, fuel, compression! Works every time!

[@DontbeWily]

It does. Hard part most of the time is getting fire to the starter

[@notajp]

One of the things I love about old diesels is that they can sit for years at a time and still start right up with a little coaxing.

[@DontbeWily]

Thats for sure. Sometimes the hardest part is getting where you can put fire to the starter Thanks for watching

[@richardcline1337]

A little TLC, a fresh coat of paint and that old gal is good for many more years.

[@scottlambert2949]

That forklift is very very old and take care and God bless

[@DontbeWily]

It ran for at least 2 hours maybe three and did what it was supposed to do after sitting back there so ling. I agree it needs to be taken care of and a little maintenance on it which is amazing sure they will do. Thanks for watching

[@davida.p.9911]

I love those old all terrain forklifts. Good job Wily! Thank you for sharing

That’s a nice old Massey Ferguson I’ve been looking for one of those for the farm.

[@Charles-qt2gx]

Would be a handy thing to have around the place. I remember a similar smaller version in the apple orchards that was basically a ford ag tractor turned around with a mast on the back.

[@DontbeWily]

What a simple machine. These things were built.

[@gradyyokeley9930]

That is outstanding bush craft, you done it without even cutting down a single bush. Great job Wily.

[@brocluno01]

Wily, you need one of these as a general tool like your Crescent Wrench. Just pick stuff up and move it so it's easier to work on 😁

[@DontbeWily]

Once again Wiley you have amazed me with your talent and skill Thank you sir for sharing this old ford relic coming back to life Looking forward to seeing your next adventure until then May Gods Blessings be with you and your family always

Amazing start up after setting so long gotta love the old equipment they were built robustly and near bullet proof. Amazing job getting it going..😎🇺🇸👨‍🔧🚜😇

[@DontbeWily]

I agree with you and thanks for watching

[@Camden09]

Unusual looking forklift Wiley, took some time to start it up. That is the oldest forklift i have ever seen. Awesome video Wiley 👍 👍👍👍

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for watching and sharing

[@williammccartney4833]

Wiley another successful start!

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you and thanks for watching

[@larrybolhuis1049]

As you were first trying to move it I'm thinking 'there has to be a stuck brake' or worst 'stick axle' because it wasn't even trying to budge. Once that brake was released it was like it was set free and off it went to work!! Maybe could stand a little paint here and there, but it looked to be working pretty well for going straight from nearly abandoned to back to work in such a short time!

[@DontbeWily]

I thought to myself there is no way stuck brake would keep it from budging. Just keep working it back and forth my brain was telling me. You were right Best parking brake ever

[@Ford7710]

Looks like a 256CI Ford industrial motor. Before you start it, give it throttle and mash the button in the stop lever on the injection pump. Looks like the date stamp started with a 2 so, 1972 or 1982.

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you for that info.

[@Ford7710]

[@geraldcrippen1649]

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks 👍

[@Sherlock067]

Whew Wiley too close to the truck ! Great to see it running again and working ! Looks like the fella with the trailer has got a lot of driving to do hope he gets there ok!

[@DontbeWily]

It took am minute for the steering to catch up

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video and Wiley. It was interesting and entertaining. That engine is a ford industrial type motor. Quite the old fork lift. Basic machine with basic controls. Sure has got huge extensions on the forks. Surprised you got it to run plus move and operate. The engine runs real smooth. Believe the engine is a good one. With some TLC and fixing it can be useful yet for some one. Good job Wiley!!!!’ Another one you got to run and operate. Thanks Wiley. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@DontbeWily]

I know technology made these things get put in the barn but as far as at a metal fabrication or a mechanics shop you couldn’t beat that. It would run a month on 5 gals if fuel

[@joepotenza1349]

Wiley epitomizes southern hospitality and really what Americana is all about !!

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for those kind words

[@kenburns4802]

Hello wily I said it before I will say it again you and my father are one your right with things made simple no bull simple those guys know the equipment they bought will run forever some spit baling wire your set thank you very much you bring me back to yesterday you bring back memories with my father I thank you

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you for that.

I want that little pontoon boat

[@DontbeWily]

I will find out. email me

[@sethgerber2132]

Windham powerlift, Elba Alabama. Before that I believe they where called Powerlift, built in Enterprise Alabama. I have 3 of them myself. 2 are 8,000 and 1 is a 12,000. My 12k has a john deere engine, one of the 8ks has a ford and the other has a perkins. They are great machines and I love seeing yall using one, especially on youtube.

[@sethgerber2132]

My 12 and one of the 8s say Windham, elba Alabama and the other 8 says powerlift, Enterprise Alabama, and seems to be older.

[@DontbeWily]

I believe Power Lift in Enterprise built the Viking Log Loader. I remember both companies.

[@sethgerber2132]

@DontbeWily oh ok. I wasn't sure. I bought the 2 Windhams first then a few years later I ran across the power lift and it looked identical to the Windham, the badges on the hood were even the same size and in the same locations. My Windhams say Windham power lift company on the badges so I just kinda put 2 and 2 together and guessed maybe they started off as power lift. Thank you for sharing your videos and knowledge 😃

[@dalehartley-vd9qo]

I'm glad to see the tractor up and running again good job Wily

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks 👍

[@staind288]

[@TheIronDuke502]

Hello Wily. I am kind of wondering if the rollers inside the track may be worn down to the point that once the mast gets to that certain height that they either pop out of track or maybe the mast is that worn. Even So, That machine is still very handy to keep around. That engine sounds amazingly good to have been sitting idle for so long.

[@DontbeWily]

I am think your on the right track no pun intended I think it definitely worth spending a little money on to use around that shop. Thanks for watching

[@davidguntren4487]
