How funny... The word where Lucifer resides was blanked out.. lol..

If I cant get this forklift to fire up, can it be pulled up on a tilt bed? to be towed?

Woah... That would be wonderful.. I will look tomorrow when I'm there.. I hope like **** your right !!!

Thanks Speedfreak !!!

I looked before and couldn't see anything :(

you can acces the starter from above. Open the hood and see. On the db33 diesel engine the starter is located on the right hand side, seen from driver's position, below the hydraulic main valve.

Thanks Speed freak,

I'll be there Saturday... I did tilt the seat cover forward.. no access that I can see to the starter, much less even see it... I assume this is a pit kind of thing? I need to gain access from underneath? kind of crazy... :(

Direction control lever should be in neutral position. You could try overriding safety circuit by turning on key switch and put 12 volts directly on the starter solenoid connection. Be sure to prevent truck from going forward or backwards. If its in the direction control lever and transmission solenoid is powered durng starting chances are that the truck will move as soon as it runs.
