I have a Clark C500-50, 4000 lbs forklift (not sure the year). It has the flathead Waukesha D-155 engine. I have neglected to change the oil for sometime and just did today. The problem is I do not have a way to access the oil filter. I assume it is on the underside near the oil pan. I don't have any other equipment around to lift this forklift so that there is enough clearance to reach the filter. What is the safest way to get this up into the air enough to access this filter? And I suppose first of all am I looking in the right place? Thanks,
Shane
