Hello everyone.
I have a problem with the engine in my little Komatsu forklift, and I was hoping someone could help. The machine is an FG10-12 which I'm led to believe is an import model here in Australia, and it's powered by a Toyota 4P petrol engine & a single speed automatic transmission (forward & reverse).
The problem is the engine. It's near death and needs to be rebuilt, but the 4P is a virtually unheard of engine in this part of the world and I have trouble buying even the most basic tune up parts for the thing let alone anything heavy duty.
What I would like to do is replace the engine with something that is more common down here, and I understand that this particular model was also available with a Nissan H20 engine.
What I was hoping is that there may be someone here who has some experience with either or both of these engines and would know if such a swap would be feasable without re-designing the entire machine, as H20 engines are reasonably well supported down here and changing to one would solve a lot of my problems.
If anyone could offer any advice I'd be extremely grateful,
Regards,
Darren.
