I live in Rosyth in Scotland but am stuck down in Sussex because of the virus. I am on a farm and the owner has a Komatsu Forklift Mod. PG 15-10 Ser. No. 66160 fitted with a Datsun PU engine converted to gas. We used it the other day to move a couple of heating oil tanks. Worked Okay until the fan belt broke. Looks a nightmare to change. Tried to find a manual but no luck so far. It has had very little maintenance and I intend to do some while I am here.

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
