Hey guys so I just picked this forklift up recently and want to know a little more about it so I can begin getting parts. Unfortunately the plate on the dash is not there so it makes it more difficult but I know some of you guys can tell by looking at a picture of it. So indeed I hope someone sees this. Also any trips helpful hints that will make getting this thing running better will be greatly appreciated.Here is a link to a google docs folder since the site doesn’t allow very big images to be attached. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1f1ttWaHCllbL8K1YTAp-69OVuuB9sAlW" rel="nofollow - Images.

OK, looks real similar to my FPD50-24-2PS...though yours is propane mine's diesel.

probably a Buda G153 engine. Further away pictures would help, keep sizes less than 2MB and they'll upload here.

I 'know' the brakes fairly well....

Can't tell what kind of front rims, mine are 'split' style....

FP40 with Borg Warner Transmission is my call, without seeing the engine, my guess would be Continental or Allis in the timeframe that was built. I have an F30 with a Continental in it and an FP60 with an Allis 230, both built in the mid to late 60s. Parts are pretty easy, most forklifts, regardless of manufacturer, used many common parts.

Hey jay I added some more photos in the google drive folder to give you a little more insight. I really appreciate the info. I googled buda G153 and the one in mine looks really similar. I added a couple engine shots aswell. Last night I bled the brakes and they seem alright lot of rust in reservoir so probably will be taking it all apart and cleaning the lines out good in the future. My main concern is I got a hydraulic ram leaking on the lower left side that is attached to the front left wheel but it doesn’t move. So I’m puzzled as to what it’s purpose is. If you have any idea? Also neutral seems to be touchy as in if it’s not prefect it will jump out. . I know I got a lot to say but hopefully you guys understand. Thanks

FP40 looks like it’s the one. Mine had side shift do you know if FP40 had side shift? Maybe that will help confirm the model.
