Hello everyone. I just found this site and this is my first post so please bare with me. I just purchased an old Toyota forklift. It was used in a fish plant here in Newfoundland, Canada for many years. It's a bit rusty but pulls great. Lifts great and all of that. It do have a fuel issue. Black smoke and fouling the spark plugs but I'm going to pull the carb off and have a look and clean it out.

The problem I'm having is that there's no data plate on the dash and I can't find the body serial number anywhere else on the thing.

Is there a serial number stamped on the body?
There's an engine number I found and the number is # 5P-0007786

I think the beast might be a 4FG20. there is the number 20 on the rear counter weight.

I was also curious to know if I could purchase a new engine hood that the seat sits on? Mine is totally rusted out. Thanks for any info you can give. Paul

PS. Here's a few pictures! You'll have to copy and paste
