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.
