Gerry O,
1. Buyer beware - don't fall in love with the paint job (w/lots of over spray)
2. Even though the truck does not have a data plate, the serial number of the unit is stamped in the frame probably on the RH side of the frame under the engine cover. Clark s/n has a format like ****-YYYY-ZZZ.
The seller calls it a late 60's model the only way you can confirm the year of manufacturer is via s/n - lift truck don't change appearances every year like automobiles - they change about every 5 to 10 years (closer to 10 years in the 60's).
Without a data plate or model number, the basic lift capacity is difficult to determine - the seller says it is a 4000 lb. lift but Clark made this design unit in a 3000, 4000 & 5000 lb lift capacity.
3. The seller says the hydraulic all work fine BUT THERE IS NO LIFT - the lifting function is part of the hydraulics in my opinion - this should be a red flag, too..
3. This unit looks like a Clark model CY 40 which was replaced in 1969 by the C500 -Y40.
4. $2450 + tax+cost to ship+lots of repair cost to fix the brakes & hydraulics ($ amt unknown) & other stuff is a lot for a 40 something year old truck.
5. As a trade-in most dealers would say this unit is worth $0 or $500 (as long as the price of scrap steel remain above $.10 /lb.
6. This unit has air tires -not really compatible for a welding shop - tire puncture - I would recommend the tires be foam filled or a solid molded type to eliminate the flat nuisance.
