Running the CMP Forklift
Hi Guys,
Great comments and suggestions. Next week, it is supposed to warm up a bit. Jim and I are going to take a tarp, generator, heater, spare battery, gas and some ether and see if we can get it started. It ran up until January 2012 so once we get it warmed up and new gas in it, I'm hoping that it will fire. If the lift, brakes and engine are good - I'll test it around the yard - I might just run it down the road (10km) to our shop. I'll have an escort, flashing yellow light and slow moving vehicle sign.
I'll take this vehicle and a Chev FAT frame and chassis - with winch - from the property. Remaining there is a Chev FAT that has been heavily converted into a skidder, along with a Chev C-15A - stripped down and modified Cab 12 - that are also available. I can't save them all. Let me know if any of you are there are interested in them - they will eventually be going to the scrap yard.
