Ah- the last great forklift Clark made (IMHO). The truck that lasted forever & parts were easy to get. Not my favorite to service though- very tight working conditions & if leaks bothered you- this truck wasn't for you.

The best all around lift IMHO was the 3 series Toyotas with the 5R engines. Easy to work on, parts availability was good & pretty darn good put together truck. Never had many problems servicing these- pretty basic truck.

If it had a fault it was that it was maybe too basic- the newer Toyotas had bells & whistles that attracted buyers. Such a shame these trucks went away.

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
