The new Wheel Horse forklift

Well just drive the Yale out of it then.

Yup definitely red..

Yep.....total red looks the best....and can I suggest painting the front hubs/wheel nuts black also.

GT....I like the like....

That's in the future plans Bob, I just can't get the wheels off as of now. I have to find a really low profile jack first, preferably a real forklift jack.

easy way to take drive tires off is
1 tilt mast back with forks about a foot up
2 put wood blocks between mast uprights and floor
{may want to use a steel plate on top of wood }
3 tilt mast forward and now your drive tires are off ground

i need to see counter weight for sure but i may be able to help with simple way for steering tires

That is so smart John, Thanks!

Here's the rear.

i should have a easy way by end of day for this end
just need to ask someone out in the shop if i am explaining it right.
at work we have a boat load of new & almost new tires
that would likely fit and be free just need a tire press
as we put on white rubber tires to prevent skid marks on the floors

ok guy out in the garage said try to pick up something really heavy .. steering tires off ground instantly!
after a pot of coffee i got this out of him
drive fork lift on to a board like 2x8 or such to get the 2 drive tires and 1 steering tire on boards
turn steering wheel slightly to access the axle of the lower steering tire with common floor jack.
this lower tire will have little if any weight on it till i gets to the level of the other tire that sits on board.

Geno i like the idea of filling in the Yale on the side panels
and adding WHS cut out to the side panels
and i also like mesh backing the cut outs

Thanks John, good ideas! I need to get the International 756 turbo up here and stick the forks under the back of it, it shouldn't be able to pick it up.

The boards idea is good too. The boards may get me clearance to get a jack under it, I have jacks that will lift it.


The mesh would be super cool.

Coolness has arrived, will get them on later today.
