Otis forklift model # ??

Hey guys, I recently purchased an Otis forklift from a business (for personal use) and I need to replace the brakes on it, but I don't know what the model # is. All that I can find is the rear weight has Otis on it, and the front has a plate with the serial number... and the bottom left of the plate has AU-1738, but I haven't seen anything on google with au-1738 in regards to a forklift

I couldn't find a way to submit pictures here, so here are some from my dropbox:

It is a Baker. Otis owned Baker for some time in the 70's and 80's.
The model is most likely an FMD040 or FMD050. The 40 has 7" wide drive tires and the 50 has 8" wide tires. The serial # will be stamped into the frame parallel to the ground towards the front sides of the floor board. The serial # will start with either 18... or 19...
