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.

At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
