Help ID model

Hello, I just picked this up last week and there's no data plate in the normal area. I think I located the serial number stamped into the right side just near the end on the floor board plate. Looking online, I see Yales with the unique 3-post safety cage but find different model numbers such as KG51T-20H then another one that also looks the same with model L51AT-400F.
Here's what I know... single speed manual transmission, single stage lift cylinder (about 120"), cushion tires, I believe a Continental F124 engine. # stamped is F074474.

Eric,

Have not seen one this old in over twenty years. Suspect this is a 60's model. I believe that is a L51 model. The tire is actually pneumatic, this could be air filled or solid rubber. The serial number should have two letters, starting with AB for 1960 up to AK for 1968. 69 to 72 had block serial numbers. You can still get parts for the lift from aftermarket warehouses. Good Luck

The hard to do we do right away. The impossible just takes a little longer.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
