Thank you for the information, I know you're right about the model # because another member on ForkLift Action.com has told me the same thing and he actually used to work for Yale back in the 1970's. The only difference is that our Forklift has a Chrysler engine in it.

I worked for a Yale dealer in the '70s. Send a pic to the e mail address in my signature and I think I can help.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
