Does the counterweight need to be removed to remove the radiator?

Can not remember on this old truck. Look at the rear of the counterweight. Most had a single bolt on the bottom rear inside the tow pin hole. There should be two holes in the top of the weight. Use a lifting sling to pull. Your #5000 forklift is more than large enough.

I was afraid of that. Is it tough to do? I have floor jacks, loader tractor and another lift truck rated at 5000#. Approximately how many bolts will I need to find before removing the weight. Thank you for all the help.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
