1954 Clark Yardlift Y2000

Hello everyone. I have a 1954 Clark Yardlift Y2000 10 Ton forklift that I have been using around the yard for several years. Got it on Craigslist for a good deal. I was moving some items around yesterday and the clutch popped and went to the floor. I opened the view port at the top up and could see pieces of the throw-out bearing as it had fallen apart. I took the transmission off and got everything out. I have searched online and I cannot find any information related to this old beast. Can anyone point me in the right directions for information and possibly some parts? I definitely need a throw-out bearing. While everything else seems in on shape, I would likely replace any parts I can get a hold now while I have the transmission removed.

I made a call to Holt California in our area this morning. I am waiting to hear back from them, but I am not hopeful that they will have what I need.

Thanks ahead for any help.

Well, I guess I wrote this too soon. Apparently clutch parts have not changed a lot over the years and my local clutch brake exchange had the bearing in stock! They pressed it on for me for free and everything! I took the other parts with me so they could inspect and they said everything else looked ok, so I did not inquire about any other parts but I bet they would be able to get everything pretty easily except the flywheel.

Thanks anyway folks!!

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
