Vintage Toyota forklift help needed

Morning everyone. New here, thanks for having me. I'm in need of some help with a vintage Toyota forklift. Not being able to locate any model numbers or a production date tags on the unit, I have no idea what I have. I'm thinking early to mid 70's. It does have a 4 cly. gas engine, with a yellow label on the valve cover that says "2R" with some additional text, all in Japanese. The motor needs rebuilding since its suffering from very low compression. And I'm sure the carb will need overhauling as well. Can someone give me an Idea of what motor and carb is in this so I can start searching for parts??.....thx for any help.

The engine number should be on left side engine on a small ridge near the clutch side.
The chassisnumber is on the left side underneath the hood, where the hood makes contact with chassis.
Maybe i have some info for you.
