I MADE the Old SHYSTER do what it was BUILT to DO!! ~ RESCUING a 60's Abused Fork Truck ~ Part 4
Obviously the main point of a Fork Truck is to LIFT, and this one hasn't done that in a LONG time! It's time to fix that!
I'm going to start by pressure washing this old beast then get right into rebuilding all of the important cylinders: the main lift cylinder, the two tilt cylinders, and the side shift cylinder. Only one I didn't get to is the steering cylinder, but so far that one is working fine for now!
~
This is a 1969 Hyster H60C Fork Truck that has a lifting capacity of 7000lbs. This machine has a 6 cylinder Gasoline F227 Continental Flat Head Engine. It has a HystaMatic transmission, which is basically a hydra-static style transmission, meaning it's an automatic and has no clutch, which is good and bad! It has air tires in the front and they look like they are holding air just fine!
Now for the bad!
The Spark Plugs were MISSING for YEARS. There was a mouse nest on TOP of EVERY cylinder. The motor was totally LOCKED UP. The Carb was FULL of white power. The distributor was BROKEN in half, it needed a NEW head gasket, there was NO Transmission Fluid, the lift cylinder leaked like a FOUNTAIN and there were NO brakes!
So far I've corrected all of those problems other than the lift cylinder... I think it's time to make this beast DO what it was BUILT TO DO.....LIFT!
The previous owners took out the spark plugs and for whatever reason they NEVER PUT THEM BACK IN! Then the machine was stored OUTDOORS where the weather and mice decided to fill up the top of the motor with rain and NASTY mouse nests!
As of recently, it was given to the guy I got it from due to it's issues. Since then he decided he didn't have the time to spend to make the machine usable again, and he was planning to scrap it!
That's where I came in, and I'm betting the motor is LOCKED UP!!
Let's find out if this 42 year old forklift is even salvageable and whether or not I should spend the time it might take to save it, we both know I WANT TO!!
I've been looking for a forklift in this size range, especially one that can drive on gravel / uneven surfaces, and I REALLY hope this machine is saveable!
Let's find out!
