I like the cooling systems on those things, no water pump. I've done lots of work on the old Clarks over the years. You can remove the upright by hand. Unbolt it and walk it like a ladder and lean it against the wall.
I recently found one buried in weeds at an abandond building while on vacation in North Carolina, looked like it had been left there for quite a few years. It had US Navy markings on it and a serial #CL132896 and a US and an anchor stamped in the middle at the end of the serial #. I know it was military surplus, was just wondering what year it was.
I took a few pictures of it and sent it to our sales department and told them it looked like something they'd try to sign up on our PM program as a joke, can't figure out why nobody is answering the phone down there now when I call.
Thank you. I shall post pictures when I am done for those who might like to see them.
Regards,
David
It was delivered in May of 1962. The date stamp at the end of the serial # is 5-62 and was stamped by the dealer to show the date delivered and is not part of the serial #.
The engine is a Continental model N62.
According to Clark Material Handling website the truckload was produce from 1945 to 1967. You might want to contact them at their headquarters in Lexington, KY, 1.859.422.6400 if you can get a hold of a Scott Johnson he can or direct you to some that can help.
At their parts distribution center they have one of them on display (or did when I visited there.
