The engine would be an Allis-Chalmers G-153, 4 cylinder, OHV. Can't help w/the spark plug type. Allis Chalmers disappeared from the market place in mid 1980's so parts are a bit hard to find for a 35 year old unit. But if you contact Komatsu Forklift at (708) 385-0330 (Chicago area) and ask for Scott Eller (General Manger with service/parts background) he might be able to help you or email [email address removed]. Scott goes back to the days of Allis-Chalmers and has a bit of gray hair like me. Make certain you have the serial number - should be on the trucks name plate & stamped in the frame - can't recall where to find it. Spent my first 14 years in the lift truck business w/ A-C before having the opportunity in 1981 to seek new horizons. That is when I first met Scott - use my name if you want John Johnson. Hope this helps.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
