Front left tire 'found' a nail.psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss  I think I had it easier than the tire guy. He wondered why it was still on the rim. I carefully explained that I don't have a red 'S' under my T shirt. If my name was 'Chris' , I'd clean and rebuild the entire forklift before the tire comes back this afternoon...... Jay

Most of the worlds' problems can be quickly resolved with a careful dose of plastic explosives...  Ain't those forklift tires HEAVY? Mine sure are... ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest. |

jay, I like "Old Yeller"! I moved my own old yeller a little today and am not very comfortable yet. But was glad I got the brakes working and the neutral safety functioning too. Thanks for the update. I wanted to take mine out in the snow so bad!!

Chris, With those tires, I doubt if you would even gotten far enough to get the rear tires off the concrete before you would be stuck. Great machines - on a hard surface! |

My Hyster H50H has tires alot like Jay's... a little wider, possibly a little taller, and while I can drive it off the concrete... if the ground isn't really dry, it won't get far before going on a mining expedition. ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem.

These are 'Ironman' brand,never even looked at them when I bought. Guy had 4,only needed two. I figure the grandaughter will still be using it long after I'm gone and never ever need a 2nd set of rubber. Yeah, I KNOW about mining expeditions... at least 1-2 a year, never found gold though... Last spring I used my Kubota to dig it out and then D-14 to pull it out, 5 HOURS later after I said 'hmm, looks solid enough, oopsy, then some 4 letter words,'.... 50 days until Spring......... ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Ok, so I jsut 'had' to try the new rubber out.... ...hmm they're not really so good on ice....  kinda like 'teets on a bull' really..... OH well, a GREAT excuse to get the D-14 running ! The 'trick' was to put FL in reverse, tug on long chain then very CAREFULLY get off D-14,get to FL to shut it down before hitting D-14. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

well, come here this Spring, and I'm SURE I'll bury the Fl again....seem to do that 1-2 every spring...sigh.... So far I've used my D-14, neighbours HUGE loader, Hydro linetruck, neighbours 4x4 F150, and Kubota to 'release the forklift' over the years.
