Good Day-I recently purchased an AC 500 forklift, 4 cyl. gas, 5000 lb capacity. I dont know if this qualifies as farm or construction. It was originally painted yellow, and it runs on tractor tires in front, so I would classify it as a field lift. It will be in need of minor work, but I have been all over the machine to find a serial #. Nothing on frame rails or fenders. The only number I can find so far is an engine casting # (16016486-R)The manual I received with it is for a different machine. Any clues where a serial # would be hidden? Trying to nail down engine as well to be able to order some tuneup parts. Thanks for any help. I can send a few pix tomorrow if needed.

From the Engine Serial ( 160 16486 R ) looks like it has a 160 cu.in. gas engine simlar to D-15 Series II.

Thanks Gary-That picture is the same style lift. Its really handy because I do a lot of work off pavement. Would anyone have time frame those were built? Possible place to download a parts book or owners manual would also be appreciated.

Thanks, Richard, a putty knife and some degreaser proved you right.
