Hi folks, well, I am back with another slew of lifttruck questions.. i did not get a deal done on the Clark but it turned out good for me..

I was given a Cat V40B lift truck that had been retired a few years ago when my friend got tired of working on it.

He said that it ran, but would not stay running.. but when the engine ran, everything worked.. they use a lift all day long and bought a new one.

I am having it brought to my shop tomorrow and am going to start working on getting it working. I only use a forklift a couple times a month, so an oldie is fine for me. I have been using my tractor with a forklift attachement, but it is a pain inside of the warehouse..

Question: is there a manual available?? It is a gasoline engine, so it cant be too different than any other gas engine or can it. It is a flathead 4 cylinder with the distributor in top of the head.

Serial number: 79M4199

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gene
