Picked this up today

Went into the local scrapyard and picked up this forklift for the price of scrap.

I can take any leftover bits back to the yard and they will take the weight off the price I have to pay.

I have started to strip it down to make it into a 3pt mounted lift.

I will post some more pics when it is done.

That looks like a fun project. Thanks for the pictures.

Is it a "Big Joe"? I just got one that operates by stepping on a foot operated hydraulic pump to lift the load. Can't find a leather washer for the foot pump and was think of converting to an electric pump like yours . Have you got any pics or info re the electric pump?
