Hi all,

I have just bought a very rundown and unloved Toyota Forklift. I think it is a 2FG20 but I am not sure.

The plate has the following stamped on it:
42-2FG20
40-2FG20-61901
118 IN
4000 LBS
7250 LBS

All the legends are in Japanese so I'm guessing the first line is the model no, second serial, third ???length???, forth lift weight, fifth gross weight.

Can someone shed some light on what the exact model number is, so I can look for a manual. Also how do you tell what year it was made?

It has some cylinder leaks so I will need to buy some seals and get those fitted. Brakes fade they will need looking at.....so a service manual would help, but so far I have not found one, not sure if I am using the correct search terms though hence the query on the model number.

Any help is hugely welcome as this is virgin territory for me.

Al.
