Keep in mind this unit is 34 years old (old enough to retire from the UAW auto plants)- parts will continue to be a problem in getting due to age and if available will be quite expensive and the unit will continue to have breakdowns. Consider finding a new used unit like only 15 years old. Most scrap yards will give you $350 to 500 for the unit due to the increase in steel prices - all fluids & batteries need to be removed.

Forklifts are like good wiskey they don't get better with age.
