Allis-Chalmers Forklift questions

   My Friend has, after her father passed, in her possession and wishes to do a full service  and needs knowledge of her forklift. Her father had purchased it new. There are not books or manuals with it. I have not been able to find the ID plate either. It is a diesel forklift. It has been sitting untouched for numerous years.
I drained the fuel and put in fresh, installed a new ignition switch, (keys lost years ago), installed a new battery, hit the key, it cranked a couple of times then fired right up. Runs nice. But, I wish to drain all fluids, replace all filters. Then she can use it. Runs sweet. 

Here are photos of the forklift.

I could use a service manual besides the ID plate info.

	I think the Unites States NAVY purchased it brand new. I'm not a forklift guy, but there was once a "tag" on the forklifts mast spelling out it's capabilities for weight and height. A picture of each side of the engine might help some others in identifying what model of machine it is.
