Hello,

I have just purchased a Yale Forklift and have no idea what age or model it is. As a newbie to this forum I will have to find my way around, but if anyone can help me identify it, that might help me in the repair process. Currently it needs some TLC, it doesnt select gears, has no brakes and the steering is vague (to say the least).

I do like a project, so this weekend should be the begining of an interesting restoration.

Here's a link to a picture, I just have to work out how to add more of them.

Any help on identification appreciated, happy to answer any questions put to me.

Regards,

Steve.

Too many numbers. This is probably a component number for the bracket.

A quick look has revealed a number stamped on the steering column upper bracket, it appears to be 2517936 81 CF

Thanks for the reply,

I'll hopefully get a good look at it this weekend and see if I can locate a serial number. Is there anywhere specific I should be looking?

Regards

Steve

WOW, that is OLD. I am not sure of the exact model but I would guess it is 60s vintage. Could be a G51P or a G83P The serial number should be stamped in the frame. If you can find it I should be able to get you a model type.
