[@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

[@joepotenza1349]

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

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for those kind words

[@shawnmarvin6348]

Timing, fuel, compression! Works every time!

[@DontbeWily]

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

[@davida.p.9911]

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

Love to watch ya Wiley, I'm born and raised in McDowell County WV, but now in Martinsville Va., but we are the same people, keep on keeping on buddy

[@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

[@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.

[@allensharlow7763]

That old tractor runs good👍🍮😎

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

[@user-og9hd2sj8z]

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

[@williammccartney4833]

Wiley another successful start!

[@ronevans852]

Wiley that thing looks terrible. Hope you get that running.

[@DontbeWily]

I feel its pain 😂. 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

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.

I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness friend but one of those battery chainsaws with the twelve inch bar would be perfect for your situations. I saw you toting the Echo with the Mack video and that's a bit much. Nice to see you cranking on the Fortrrss compressor, God bless harbor freight,

[@DontbeWily]

Amen on the Harbor Freight. Echo was Mickeys and it was. Thanks for watching and sharing

[@KenthGustafsson300]

this video was fun to watch cause the cool ans slow happening.

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you

[@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
