I just got a forklift the other day because I thought it would be what I needed. The data plate is missing, but it looks like a Cat TC30. It was apparently built not too long after Caterpillar took over Towmotor, because it has the Towmotor name on either side, and Caterpillar on the counterweight. It has a 4 cylinder gasoline Continental, 2 stage mast, no power steering, no side shift, no cage, and is hydrostatic. If anyone knows if it is not a TC30, please let me know. I bought it because it was low to go around in and around my shop and outbuildings. Big mistake. If it even looks at grass the traction tires just sit there and spin. It doesnt sink low enough to bottom out, but just sits. Anyone know of a dual front wheel conversion for these with 12 lug wheels? Anyone ever used the tire studs I have seen for ice to get traction in dirt? Anyone know of a pneumatic/press on type rim to convert this one off of the cushion tires? Also, my rear steering tires are VERY worn and thin, anyone know what size to get (these are all chewed up and say nothing). As I'm sure you can tell, I'm new to this forklift bidness. I hate to get rid of it, it runs great, lifts fine, has low top clearance so I can get it where I need to, I just cant do my outside chores with it. Plus, I think it is neat looking and I have an affinity for old iron, even if it is ugly (previous owner painted it pink for no reason, gotta fix that).
