UPDATE, went to see the cark and it was a bit more of a project than anticipated so I passed. Major item of concern for was the mast would not stay up and would need diagnosis/repair. Also in discussions with the owner, a Fork Truck tech, I have decided to look for a more off road capable truck. Found a Baker FJF-040 and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts... At this point I am all over the map and very thankful for those who have been responding as it will help me make a better informed purchase. Google gave me a thread on this board that was pretty recent concerning brake repairs so at least others have these machines and are keeping them going. Thanks again! Mike
