Thanks Johnr, I will check out what you supplied.

Another thank you goes out to --
Howard Sellick at sellickequipment.com
for providing the following information.

Looks like a Ford Tractor Wheel Loader. Parts should be available from your local Ford Tractor Dealer. The Mast is a Harlo manufactured near Grand Rapids MI. You could contact them directly.


If my avatar ever gets approved, you will see what this beast looks like.

Not that any of you would want some free math, but if you do, I give it away at (sorry, I forgot no URLs) It is TotallyFreeMath

My thanks to all, Terry

In western part of Michigan I recall a brand of rough terrain forklifts labels John's. They made lift primarily to service the apple growers. Like most any one could they would buy a power train from Ford - then go to ACE hardware , NAPA parts store, sheet metal fabricator & welder and make these "unique" looking lifts & sold them inexpensively to handle the apple boxes on that beautiful west Michigan sand.
Another company that made lifts, but not certain if they got into articulated units was called Harlo - they were a ugly Yellow painted lift & used sliding section mast uprights vs a roller type..

This may or may not give you a lead but at least a couple doors to peek into.

Colin at Sellick Equipment was very kind in trying to answer my question. Below is his response.

Terry,

I ran this by some of the "senior" staff here and not one person can remember any OEM using this chassis to manufacture a forklift. If this was a production unit from somebody I'm not familiar with it at all. You could maybe check with a company called Swinger who manufactures similar type machines still today. Sorry we couldn't be of assistance.

Good luck,
Colin Sellick

Thanks for the lead. I have sent them a request about the forklift and a question as to whether or not they can get any parts that I might need.

Run this by Sellick Equipment, Harrow, Ontario. They started their business 40+ years ago using Ford as a base prime mover.
