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.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
