Abandoned 70s Toyota Forklift | Will It Lift Again?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Ike has had this old Toyota forklift for years, and it’s been sitting abandoned behind one of his houses for at least 8 years. It ran when parked (but needed maintenance). We need a forklift for our new shop, so Ike brought over the old Toyota gas forklift and we get it running and put it back in service!

Forklift tech here, looks to be a Toyota 3fgpu10. Parts will be hard to come by as Toyota marks up older parts an insane percentage. Best bet would be an aftermarket supplier using the above model # or using the carburetor to source a kit. I can help more with better pictures and parts sourcing, as the company I work for is a Toyota dealer.
hope they see this!
Who’s buy from a dealer. TVH all the way.😜
They should just put a Predator 212 in the forklift.
@@FarmerFpv two 212s. At 9000 rpm.nice. speed forklift
Toyota guy here, I think they should mod newer style parts for it like solid rubber tires and a cushion seat
Sup ladies😎 yeah, I got a forklift
But do you have your forklift license? 🤔
Forklift is a great addition. I love that it's the classic Toyota lasts forever forklift. They had to take the zinc out of the oil because it plugs catalytic converters along with lead. But for off-road and race applications it's great for flat tablet cams
You can just use Diesel engine oil for non-catalytic motors. It's still got zinc in it. We use it on dirtbikes and other motorcycles.
@@charlesgunzelman3323 YES, STP IS A JOKE.
Has nothing to do with the cat getting clogged. Should not be burning oil anyway...
After watching you for years, it is so much fun to see you guys working on larger projects. Love yall!
It's actually becoming cars and cameras not just karts
Y'all need to add awnings around the front 3 sides of the building so you can store your projects around the outside! It'll cut down on shop space and give you guys a place to chill.
Build a platform or shelf around the inside perimeter of your new shop. Make it big enough and high enough to put all your small projects on. Since you have a forklift now you can lift them up out of the way. Would help create more floor space
That’s a great idea, would look awesome too
Once Junkyard Diggs is through that property of cars, Isaac should invite them out with their camper for a few weeks to get a bunch of his cars running+driving so he can start moving them. Isaac we all see you trying hard on your channel, but they'd be able to knock out a bunch of cars in a short timeframe of all the cars with little problems you don't have time for. I'm sure they'd do it for free just for the content on their own channel 😂
Zinc additives in oil tend to ruin catalytic converters over time. Safe, of course, to use in older machines like this and pre-cat cars.
Not always the case. Zinc is used in high mileage engine oils to help.
@@Ratkill9000 The active ingredient is phosphorus and that is added through a component called ZDDP (Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate.) For products that meet the ILSAC GF-5 specification, the phosphorus levels for the oil must be less than 800 ppm phosphorus. The ILSAC level for phosphorus has been reduced to protect the catalytic converter and other emission protection equipment.
I usually use a ZDDP additive in my first starts and in older style engines with solid tappet/lifter setups. Apparently the additive is illegal in some places. I bet those places do strict emissions testing and have very high rates of catalytic converter theft.
Any vehicle can be pre-cat with a sawzall and a little pipe.
@@malbers35 now thats big brain thinking right there
You guys are really establishing yourselves! So proud of you guys! Congratulations Charles!
Put an LPG carb on that lift so you can use it inside!
As for fork extensions, some C channel works nicely, but keep in mind that with longer forks lift capacity is essentially reduced. Be careful with that.
And since this one can not side-track like that three wheel piggyback one, get a mower front axle and make a steerable dolly out of it if you plan on moving more long stuffs (boards, pipes, metal stock) with it. The dolly won't have the same capacity as the lift, but at least you will be able to move stuff with it instead of doing that whole 'dog with a long stick' maneuver.
I've been meaning to tell you guys for a while now to look into Brad Pen oil. It's specifically formulated for flat tappet cams, as it has high levels of ZDDP. I run it in all my air cooled VW builds and I've never had an issue with a flat or prematurely worn cam.
Appreciate the heads up I'll look into it .
I want to thank you guys for the fun and interesting content. I'm a retired 42 year auto mechanic(Honda) and look forward to your videos every day.
now that you have a forklift it prolly be a good idea to install a pallet rack on one side of the shop so you can stack up the projects and karts all the way up to the roof
one thing i know is that thse forklifts use a toyota car engine mightn be industrial adapted (like a chaindrive for the cam stuff like that )
that zink additive prolly makes a good engine assembly lube , it thick sticky and slippery
Yeah they are planning to rack go karts and Mini bikes on their wall there from what I remember on past videos.
It runs so good because it's a Toyota!
Love to see new additions to the shop… but I need a Grand Prix lap on this thing
Was thinking the same thing, kept saying to my self "hope they try it on the track" lol
As a retired forklift mechanic ive worked on all the makes and models. That old toyota will run just fine.
Happy New year guy's and Thankyou BendPak for being one of "our guys" new sponsors I can't wait guys knowing how fastidious John seems to be the shop is going to be fantastic I bet it was so hard walking away for Xmas knowing you had all those new presents waiting to open when you got back?
Remember safety first guys when using Forklift Sally and working with the hoists it's not the drop that kills you it is the sudden splat in this case.
Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺 😁
God Bless Charles and his new addition to the family!
Fork lift is a great addition to your shop. Once you have it for awhile you're going to wonder how you ever got along without it. Congrats to Charles and family. Best to you guys for the new year.
I pulled wrenches on those old forklifts for 5 years. The Toyotas were really easy to work on. You should be able to find the parts you are looking for at a company called Total Source.
Good to hear about Charles and the new addition to his family. I said it before but, yeah. Looking forward to the coming builds and episodes. Love this channel.
Dude the little fork lift that could. It's perfect for the shop. Not to new, not broken. Just right !!!
If that forklift is anything like the old Toyota one we had at work, the breaks are garbage. We changed the shoes, break fluid, master cylinder..... but they still worked like crap. Love your channel!
1970s + Toyota = TOTAL IMMORTALITY!
Day one watcher here so happy for y’all to finally be recieving more sponsors and better equipment. Can’t wait for the future
WOW. Another great addition to the shop. Can't believe after 8 years still running good. This Old Man loves your videos. 🛵🧔💝💝💝
Nice a little fg7. A 1400lb lift. Not a big one but nice. I was a master Toyota forklift tech for 25 years. Good machine. Just keep oil in the engine
FG7 is what I thought too. 1300 or 1500cc “p” motor
@@zulu750cc 2p or 5 r about only options. I would look for the duals option or the are goingvto be pulling that from mud..lol
A good fleet oil for you guys would be Rotella 15w-40 diesel oil. It has enough ZDDP in it to protect all your flat tappet engines. If you want a synthetic, or a better flow rate when cold, you can use Rotella T6 5w-40. Both are great oil and better than a modern SM/SN/SP+ZDDP additive, imo. The SBC in your old truck will love either, as well. You could run this oil in pretty much everything you guys have.
Both can also be used with wet clutches, too. So, motorcycles/atv's.👍
Those are always handy. Just a bit of advice, Take some shrink wrap or clear plastic and make a canopy over the roll bars. Rain just loves to happen when you need to use the forklift.
Now you definitely need to build a mezzanine. It will clear up a lot of floor space. You might even be able to build mega shelves to put all the finished projects up high where everyone can see them.
Time to find a oil burner and use all the old oil to heat the shop, talk to the local service stations and see if you can get some of there used oil change oil. Clean it up and put a Car's and Camera's paint job on it.
I've been watching since the 212 mini moto swap. Love the content, projects, comedic relief at times and Charles is a hoot all by himself. Keep up the good work guys hope to watch yall glow up in 2022!!
Glad to see you guys building out the infrastructure. Rock on
3:42 that's a sickk Honda Ruckus thats my dream bike right there!!
What a sweet little forklift, for the big shop!
Spray bomb it with the silver Steel-It! 😉
Seafoam in the tank!!! 😁.....Convert to LPG, simple. Well, that's what I would do, anyway. 🤣
They should just put a Predator 212 in the forklift, lol.
@@FarmerFpv 🤣 That would be hilarious! .... but a classic Toyota engine converted to LPG would be way more rad.... And a lot less toxic inside the shop, being breathed...Not to mention the old rusty tank can now become a weight/ballast, instead of a fuel tank...
Dude the patina on that fork lift is awesome, seriously jealous at all of Ike’s toys holy cow every month you see something new he’s hiding
Another great video keep up the great work and content. The forklift is going to be a handy little tool around the yard.
What a brilliant little fork lift. So pleased to see it being removed from its grave, shown a bit of love and put back to work. I’m sure it will serve you well for many years. 👍🏻🇬🇧
I can already see how this went. "We've got the new lifts coming in from Bendpak I need to get a fork lift." Issac: "I've got one." The guy has everything except time to play with all of his toys.
No grand prix lap? 😂😂 Congratulations, I love to be on this journey with you guys! Kudos
it's a Toyota meant to last forever... i remember when Issac showed us this forklift on his channel once a long ass time ago... glad it's up and running and now has a new loven home and can live and work hard once again...
That carburetor looks a lot like one I had on an older rwd corolla with a 1.6
I know forklift video crazy content but John, that c10 is absolutely beautiful what a amazing build.
Awesome forklift! Totally reminds me of the forklift races in the first Shenmue game! Miss that game
I’m so happy for y’all. You have come a long way over the years!
Toyota’s never die!!!
Interestingly enough, Valvoline oils have zinc in them still, I'm a Senior Tech at one the instant oil change locations and we have to look at the data sheets for every oil/fluid we have for some of our classes.
I love how they were so suprised about everything still working. Lol ofc it still works, it’s a Toyota!
I feel your pain with the trailer, I pulled trailers for an auction company for about 4 years with a manual 1994 chevrolet 3500 dually, they had a 24 ft box trailer for hauling things.
And now a forklift! Before long, you're going to have a pretty sweet set up there guys!
I would use shell rotella oil which supports most of the demands of older engines lubrcation specs I would also recommend you add seafoam to the tank and let it run to clean the carb. Nice job getting that tank rolling guys
Love how the video started with "sitting for 6 years" by the end it was "8-10" by next episode it'll be 35+ years hahahah
Seeing you guys playing with STP reminds me of a time I wanted to grind valves on an engine, but I lost my grinding compound. I had made my own compound before using heavy grease and some grit from the shop bench grinder. I didn't have any heavy grease that day, so I tried using STP. It would NOT work! Any time a particle of grit got pinched while in the STP solution, the grit pushed out of the space, leaving only STP between the two surfaces! Try it, its truly amazing!
I know you guys use Oreillys a lot from seeing the brake parts cleaner and antifreeze in videos. I worked there for 10 years and Ive sold ignition parts and filters for this era Toyota forklift. Had a customer with one so I know they can get most parts for it. Even a carb kit should be available with the right information. Ya just have got to have a good parts guy at your local parts house.
The camera and audio quality of this vid is far better then other videos
I repair Machines of all time. solid state, digital, analog, integrated, steam, gas, hydraulic, servo, spring and cam. PLC, Robots. When you realize every system on the planet is constructed the same and the principles and parts and power regulation distribution and control is relevant for every machine on the planet. If you know today's machines you know all machines basically.
That is if you actually understand how they work and not just going with repetition of a trouble shooting schedule.
Some people understand repetition and practices of college testing and then there is people that actually know How Thing's work.
I like watching you guys.
Because you guys are underground down-to-earth at the bottom.
And you guys pull off amazing feats.
I always root for you guys. I wish I had friends like you guys having so much Dang fun.
I'm stuck in Corona Detroit raccoon city. lolol.
Ok I'm sure we all wanna know, how fast can it do a grand prix lap :P
Couple hours.
At 20.00 I'm saying, "BACK IT UP"! This is a perfect lift for you especially the balloon tires.
Congratulations on getting off the darn floor !!!!..... I watched you guys repeatedly work on your knees and 8t made mine ach !.... and both of mine are replaced already.....lol
Been watching for years. Glad to see you expanding and including more, different content. I hope to make it to one of your meet-ups one of these days as well. Congrats on the new shop, looks like it's gonna be pretty epic once you figure out what goes where!
Back about 10 years ago I used to buy a lot of forklift parts from a company called Intrupa material handling parts, it was a while ago, but they were a good supplier of hard to find parts. These are aftermarket parts, but everything I used worked fine, and was a lot cheaper than oem
Now that you have a forklift, you need to set up a rack system and palletize every cart/3/4-wheeler and stack them up on a wall in the corner. You should be able to go all the way to the ceiling and gain back most of your floor space.
Biggest problem with old forklifts like these are due to outside storage. Buy one that's been kept indoors if you are in the market for one. Used forklifts are hot now and have been for awhile due to high cost new and also dealers taking back leases.
That 4y engine in this one is almost bulletproof. LP fuel systems are super easy to work on and very reliable if just basic care is used.
Convert this thing to LP with a universal kit.
Okay something like this is just what I needed to see on one of my favorite UA-camrs!!!
You need to post a lap time ! ! !
Great video guys. I'm a Ford man till the day I die. When I was in Arizona doing a lot of off-roading I loved my Toyotas. There's some serious quality in a Toyota. Plus for the last 16 years I've driven a off-road forklift outdoors in Iowa. Someday I'll have my own small forklift like that. I'm always finding things that I could use a forklift for and you guys are definitely going to find out how handy it is. Just like you said tired of working on the floor put that go-kart up in the air on the forklift. I'm glad you guys just clear-coated it because it looks cool.
Always great seeing quality old gear still being super effective. A must-have with a delivery like that.
Nice little forklift. I needed a small one here but have decided to build it from stuff i had around plus some surplus purchases. amazed that fired up so easy.
i cant believe ike got that tall ass box onto that tiny forklift. masterfully done
The good thing about the older toyota engines is that there very reliable similar to a honda especially the 4 bangers lol I've had a few 22re. Pickups and the motor always outlast the body an frame but there unstoppable when going off road I won a stock class mud run event with a 87 four runner hade a 22re
I'd love to see a restoration of this beast. I like old machinery and I like when it's preserved.
At the very least, measure up and replace the lift chains. Common fail point if not regularly lubricated. And since it sat out in weather for “8 years” it’s an easy insurance policy to add on your lift. Congrats on getting it running though. As for parts, TVH has millions of them. The website will probably advertise Total Source, but no worries. I’ve dealt with them for 9 years and they do pretty good on availability on parts. I too would upgrade tires to solid rubber pneumatic, but unfortunately you’ll probably have to have them pressed on the rims, so keep that in mind. Keep up the good work fellas. 👍🏻
Ya gotta love how the age went from 6 years to 10 years.😂
I really like old forklifts! Not sure why. I drove an old Toyota forklift back when I worked at Menards. 👍
You guys are great you care about everything that you touch you change the oil you do maintenance you guys are wonderful keep up the good work until my hat to you I'm 59 years old and I've been around for a while and worked on a lot of trucks and cars and equipment and you guys are following my footsteps it pays off
High ZDDP levels found in older oil formulations tend to coat and ruin catalytic converters, hence the phase out (to the woe of all flat-tappet motors)
Meh you can use diesel oil, collector car oil, or just buy zddp bottles for every oil change.
That's an antique.. Probably from leaded gas age
@@ladam836 not necessarily. I have a car from the 60s where the manual specifically says unleaded gas only. It still uses zinc additive in the oil since it has a flat tappet cam.
pretty much took that thing out of deep sleep and gave it a surprise workout, im amazed it lifted most of that load.
Saweet ! Deal ! Thank you Bend Pak ! Wowsa ! I drove forklift for many years never seen one so small🤏 that's like a mini-cooper, so cool 😎 ☮
Congratulations Charles!
I'm blown away it ran so well
Can wait to see what this year brings. Congratulations on how far you guys have come. Don’t forget to take that forklift on the cars and cameras Grand Prix. Will it be faster than the kubota?
Was really excited to see the company I work for delivering your goodies. Another fun video to watch, thanks guys.
Random pipes as leverage with your ratchet is a mechanics best friend LOL
I wanna see this on the grand prix
Yesssss please 😂😂😂😂
Seeing as it runs on pump gas you might consider converting it to propane. It's safer to use indoors that way. You might consider pallor racks to store the bigger toys. Think of them like shelves for the projects.
You got a winch. That’s a huge upgrade. I consider it a requirement now for picking up dead equipment.
HNY to you guys too! Tell Chas. he's using up all his newbie slack; we want to see the baby pictures we know he has! That is his viewer task for the New Year! Can't offer much help beyond it's "some 70". Toyota has a strong dealer network down here in Dallas and on the West Coast- or, BION, call a Kubota parts counter- one here is awesome! But you will need the model number! Oh, and that carb may not be original- just about any automotive carb matched to the displacement will work. Oh, and flush out the tank and the strainer/sock on the fuel pick up- your outside pump was pulling pretty good to empty it, but when you put new fuel in you stirred up the grick in the bottom of the tank. I'm from Texas and Louisiana- and I think Charles will know what grick is, cuz it's the same stuff down here! FR
I see shop upgrades happening! 👀 I'm so excited to see how you build and utilize the space. 💯👌🏻
your local forklift dealer can help. check all of the hyd. hoses VERY carefully.if ANY doubt, get new ones. there may be a tag riveted to the engine block.
Happy New Year guys. Keep up the great work.
Now you need a badass shelf you can stack your go carts on!
Toyota forklift a great add on to the shop looks to me earlier 80 model and looks like Christmas at the shop with all new things for you guys. Enjoy the new year from Bryce keep the videos coming I enjoy it . Bryce
Happy new year guys can’t wait to see your shop all fix up and ready to build and make go karts 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻take care and stay safe
Well, there's Toyota quality for you! 😁
(Also, love the Ike Intro 👍👍👍)
Happy new year to you guys too! 🎉
Just so you know. ..forklifts like to sink when your outside even though you have pneumatic tires on it ..it's an outside truck..when it rains out ..it'll sink..just a few drops of 90 weight on the lift chains..check your hydraulic oil..it may be creamy color ..change it ..as far as part's..check your local forklift shops ..if they don't have parts ..they will know somewhere to check..
Good luck..👍👍👍
I work at a fork lift dealership, and the techs prefer WD-40 on the chains. WD doesn’t get grimy from collecting dust and dirt like heavier oils and grease. Prevents chain wear in the long run.
Happy new years! Loving the new shop. Keep up the great footage
Just a tip always carry dish soap with a good sprayable end you can squeeze out makes things slide on your trailer wayy better save your winch
And congratulations Charles and family !!
Can I just say that I love it when we get to see other parts of yalls "lives" ie while you were loading up the forklift and looking at ALL the other COOL stuff wondering if it will ever be a project on C&C or the It'll be fine channel.
Hey guys you should add some gauges in another video with a big tachometer as one also maybe a wet small shot of nos with a carb adapter plate and a second fuel pump would be cool 😎 for fun
