Hi Prentice,

It is my client who owns the forklift, and not me. When I trained their staff this past weekend, I saw this make of truck that I have never seen before. Not that it is a beauty in any sense of the imagination, so I figured I would post my find. I do not need a parts supplier but I can direct my client to you if he needs parts. Actually, I urged him to join forkliftaction dot com and he'll probably do it this week.

What I do find amazing though is that no one is commenting on this Ross unit. I have the service manual dated May 1945 form the US war department. And although the truck is non-operational, it is still intact. I am sure that a well versed technician with some tools, machine shop and creativity skills could put this truck into working order, as a hobby. The truck is '64' years old.

I forwarded pics to info at forkliftaction dot com yesterday, and hopefully they will be up on the site somewhere soon.
