What amazes me most is that there are even new parts available for a 30 year old forklift. Yes its pricy but atleast available. Also between pressure washing oily stuff in the driveway and running his forklift out in the street something tells me this guy doesnt live in an HOA :)
I was surprised that I was still able to find parts for it too. I imagine there's a lot of these old machined out there and there's a market for them. Hahaha no HOA but I am within town limits. Waiting for the letter in the mail!
Rebuild kits are readily available it's the actual transmission parts like the drum and other pieces that they don't make anymore but there are places you can get good used parts if need be.
I worked for toyota, i could get parts for any toyota a client had no matter the age, only price was the issue XD Oldest one i worked on was and got running was from 1989.
I needed parts for a 30 year old Honda 750 motorbike almost everything available. I did have to get second hand exhaust valves from a breaker in Toronto
Very nice job. The 5 series Toyota is one of the best, I know of many with over 25,000 hours, 4Y engine lasts forever. As a forklift mechanic for almost 30 years I have to commend you on tackling this job, great to see young guys getting it done.
i have no interests in forklifts or engines/transmissions rebuilds, but i am enjoying this series so far. the videos are very informative. looking forward to part 3
Another little tip from your neighborly forklift tech grease the trunion grease fitting (lower mounts on the mast) on either side of the axle and it’s on the front and back of the rear axle ( these are always the highest wear points
I did not expect it to have torque converter and such transmission at all. I expected to see some sort of CVT or planetary gear thingie like on excavators I think (not familiar with forklifts or excavators)
Very refreshing to see a guys your age I’m guessing late 20 mid 30, completely rebuilding this transmission. Many young guys like yourself would never consider this job. Awesome work love the content and stopping every once in a while explaining what just happened I like it.
Appreciate it! Just learning as I go! I honestly learn more doing things like this than I ever will from any text book. Just the way I am! Thanks for watching!
You know... Didn't even cross my mind but this seems like it would have been so much easier! I'll keep this in mind if I ever have to pull another forklift engine!
First time here, i do maintenance to machines, don't know much about cars mechanic or forklift, but that was two amazing videos, the First and second Part... I'll be waiting for the Next Video
Man, it’s 9:30pm, I’ve been sick all with Crohn’s I’ve just now had the energy to watch some videos and part 1 took energy to watch lol. I’m ready for part 2. Thanks man!
Great work; as a truck driver, those gearboxes would be thrown into gears opposite to the way rolling, hard on clutch plates, so that was no surprise seeing how they came out. Full credit to you for doing it as well as you've done it. reminds me of when I'd be swapping out engines or boxes. My dad would sometimes come out and help.
So, for your information, Valvoline makes the same fluid for Napa, and less expensive. Also, you can always use scotch brite on the steels of the clutch assembly. If they’re not scored, or heat warped, then that is one less part to purchase. Amazing video bruh!!
Ohh nice! I had no idea. It's crazy how many factories pump out the same thing under different labels. I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever run into this again. Thanks!
Awesome content! It's super original and very interesting. Best of all, we can all see your passion for what you are doing. I can't wait to see what your next project is!!!
I’d definitely consider taking out the preview at the start of the video, or future videos etc. Watchers like the suspense 👍. Good video none the less……keep up the good work 🍻
Good job on soaking the plates, usually trans clutches recommend that you soak them for a minimum of 2 hours before installation, a friend of mine soaks them for a day. There is also a downside to not soaking them some clutches may burn if you don't soak them
Transmissions suck! You get all fulla oil no matter what you do. I just rebuilt my A904 trans and still waiting on the pump seals to come in. Then the fun part of putting the slimey thing back up and in my truck. So far i'm loving your videos. : )
Listen man you have inspired me to redo my Toyota fork lift. I think it needs a new motor and some electrical work. I am wondering how hard that part was for you... Also dude, use proper cloths and shoes you don't want to end up being killed! Great job!!!
3:58 I can always tell when somebody's worked on older less taken care of equipment cuz they know enough to get the parts they don't need now cuz they're going to need them soon.
Wow, that was quite the undertaking! I have a forklift (or two) in similar condition, so I would definitely be interested in a price breakdown on what it took to repair. Great job man!
Watching you rebuild that trans was refressing. I am about to pay scrap value for a Hyster H80xl! A 8000lbs rated forklift. 4 front tires all brand nee, worth the money I am paying for the forklift. Was going to try and rebuild the trans myself also. Never done it before
The seal between the diff and the trans is usually the reason of the failure. The diff oil is not compatible with the trans friction plate adhesive. Believe me I learned the hard way.
No harm in soaking clutch plates, you actually should so you'll know for sure on first run it's not gonna run dry at all. We used to soak em when rebuilding transmissions.
You are very talented. Your the first person ive ever seen torque spark plugs. Great job snd great video. Just curious how old you are. You seen realy young snd are very knowledgeable. Thanks Brian Long Island NY 😊
I think it’s a great set of videos. I am eagerly looking forward to how this project evolves. I think you should make the video however you wanna make it. If someone thinks they can do better, let them.
Appreciate that! I'll continue making the videos how I want but I'm always open to criticism! I think the feedback is super helpful and can only make my videos even better
Check the alt pulley to make sure that it is still “v” shaped, yes, pre soaking clutches or required to prevent what happened in your trans, and metal strainer is often just cleaned. Check Hercules seals in Florida.
Nice video bro turned out great! For the 286 dollar steering components you could drill out the hole a little bigger then press a brass bushing in, to clean up the slop and make them serviceable.
If you need to buy new seals in the future, you should be able to take them to a local NAPA or other auto parts store and they'll usually have them in stock or can order them next day.
This is good to know! I knew the sizes of the seals but for some reason looking up the seals by size on any of the popular auto parts websites was a nightmare hahaha Should have just took them to the store
should have welded a nut onto the stripped out transmission fill hole to make it easier to tighten and loosen in the future. also Get yourself a good set of either plastic or Brass Dead blow hammers using steel hammers on cast parts is asking for trouble.
Yeah brass would be ideal! My rubber mallet wasn't cutting it. I was worried about it cracking! I ended up replacing the drain plug. Just didn't show it in video
it looks like it bolts off on the end if it does just take the whole thing to the parts house a look for something similar then you know you can find a replacement
This series has made me glad I got a Toyota 8 Series Electric for scrap value and thus far have only had to throw some golf cart batteries + and a 1000lb of counterweight material at it.
Yeah I imagine they're much simpler machines. I would consider electric but the batteries are so expensive. Sounds like you found a way to keep the cost down!
Yep, if you want new batteries so you can run it all day then you gotta shell out the 4-5k AND invest in a suitable charger to get enough current into the battery to avoid stratification. Most PIT chargers are 480V/3ph so that pretty much rules out new 800Ah batteries. That said, most of us probably don't need a truck to run all day, and thats where a few GC2 or L16 batteries come in. I can unload some pallets or move heavy stuff around easily with minimal noise, maintenance, and high precision and charge on any 120V outlet when I need to. The shop crane & counterweight moment you had in the part 1 video was relatable. I had similar struggles trying to get the old 2200lb battery out. I ended up tying the crane to a SkyJack and using that to pull the shop crane out since it was impossible to move the shop crane on my own.
That's so cool! It never even crossed my mind that you could put a smaller battery in them if you don't need them to run as long. You're right, most people would never need to run a lift for an entire day. I was also concerned with the charging requirements but, like you said with the smaller batteries, being able to charge on 120v is a game changer. Hahaha yeah, It's a real struggle. Before I attempted to move the counterweight I was thinking "how hard could it be?". 2K lbs is a lot of weight! Sounds like you got it done though!
Stumbled upon you channel due to Surface Shield video. Appreciate you arent working out of a half million dollar shop and every tool imaginable. The Toyota forklift plant is probably only 30 minutes from me in Indiana. Curious on your background? I subbed to follow along.
Not yet! I've just been slowly accumulating tools and working with what I have! That's pretty cool! I would love a tour of that place. I'm an engineer working in a manufacturing facility. Thanks for the sub!
Nice work, all the cheap forklifts that pop up for sale around me are way more thrashed. Always looking for new projects myself, if the price is right ill bite even if its a burnt machine. Should be a good machine for you to use or flip.
Yeah, this one was in very good shape compared to all the other ones I was looking at! I haven't been brave enough to tackle something that's been on fire. Seems like an electrical nightmare!
@@BustedBeaters The electrical is definitely a fiasco. In the process of making my next video doing the complete electrical on the burnt bobcat 7753 I’ve been rebuilding. Let’s just say, run from a burnt machine unless you are extremely patient and enjoy reading service manuals, and wiring diagrams. Looking forward to your next upload, have a nice week.
I have a 70 model Toyota forklift,brakes went out first, no problem though. E brake works fine . Then one of the mast cylinder went to leaking. The cylinder is welded, can be fixed but cannot find a new one or a rebuild kit. Sad but it’s obsolete now.😢
That's really unfortunate. When I was looking into lifts it seemed like the brakes were a pretty common problem. I was worried with this lift about finding parts but I was really lucky.
How good is watching something other than an LS get fixed.
bit of a change.
Totally agree. Nice to learn a bit of everything
im so sick of seeing LS engines

Dude what a gem of a channel. only 7k subs? Criminal. Feels like a breath of fresh air compared to so many other channels lately. Keep the vids coming
Appreciate it! Slowly but surely

Exactly what I was thinking lol
you found the secret back door to being "Forklift" certified, just buy your own.😊 great work man!
That was the goal! And good luck pulling my certs when I hit something! Lol
Awesome been looking forward to part 2. Awesome content keep jt up.
Great work sir. Also, the editing is A+. Easy to watch. Thanks for sharing
Much appreciated! I've been putting a lot work towards making the edits better!
Great video, i love when i find a channel with someone who just loves what he's doing.
Can't wait for part 3.
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
Hey! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! This is great to hear! I don't think I will put even close to that many hours on this one! Should last a very long time!
I’m amazed how people can remember how it all goes back together. Well done.
Damn it I NEED more forklift repairs in my life lol. Well done. Can't wait for the next one. Look forward to that square body in the back too.
Thanks! Not sure what direction to take the truck just yet. I have a hard time getting rid of vehicles lol
Great camera work and editing. Loads of shots and you didn't hold on anything too long. Super video
Thanks a lot! I've been really focusing on my editing so I'm glad it seems to be paying off!
@@BustedBeaters #editingforkliftlife
I am loving this series. Great substance and quality entertainment. Thanks for contributing!
I’ve rebuilt a few of those. Very simple. Take your time and pressure test everything before you put it back in the machine
i have no interests in forklifts or engines/transmissions rebuilds, but i am enjoying this series so far. the videos are very informative. looking forward to part 3
Hey! Appreciate that!
Another little tip from your neighborly forklift tech grease the trunion grease fitting (lower mounts on the mast) on either side of the axle and it’s on the front and back of the rear axle ( these are always the highest wear points
Appreciate the tip! I'll be sure to get these areas. They seem like a pain to get to lol
Did not expect a forklift to have such a large engine and transmission, can bet you could power a car or truck with it in a pinch 😮
I bet you could as well! They used this engine in some of the pickups back in the day
I did not expect it to have torque converter and such transmission at all. I expected to see some sort of CVT or planetary gear thingie like on excavators I think (not familiar with forklifts or excavators)
What a great channel, glad that I got to be here for this glorious restoration. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
Thank you so much! I hope I don't disappoint!
Thanks for the hard work, perseverance. Saved, good for years to come.
This was really fun to watch! Great job making sure everything was well lit and easy to see.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Father and son working on a project and they don't want to kill each other! You are definitely chill, which you need to be rehabbing that lift.
We do work surprisingly well together lol

I repair forklifts for a job. You should hang the engine off the overhead guard with a chain block when refitting. It makes it so much easier.
You know... Didn't even cross my mind but this seems like it would have been so much easier! I'll keep this in mind if I ever have to pull another forklift engine!
Very impressive from start to finish👏Great job hopefully she serves you well
Im a certified forklift driver/teacher in Spain and Ive been driving it for 15 years. Ive enjoyed the video a lot. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Super impressive work tearing the all down and getting it working 👌
Appreciate it!
First time here, i do maintenance to machines, don't know much about cars mechanic or forklift, but that was two amazing videos, the First and second Part...

2:20 - nice to see you have your safety steel-toe crocs on.
Man, it’s 9:30pm, I’ve been sick all with Crohn’s I’ve just now had the energy to watch some videos and part 1 took energy to watch lol. I’m ready for part 2. Thanks man!
Thanks for watching! Hope you start feeling better!
Really impressive work 👍💪 Enjoy the previews as well. Amen 🙏
Wow, you and Dad are like a carbon copy of each other. Good to have dad to help out brings back memories a little.
Oh yeah! I'd be lost without him!
Great start to my Sunday morning. Just watched the first part of this the other day. Keep it up brother.
Will do! Thanks for watching!
Astonishing work mate !!!!! But please, please, do use the right fiting socket to push bearings :)
im a car mechanic tinking of buying a fork lift, from Mumbai India, just stumbled on your channel, Awesome video both part 1 &2
Thanks! Hope you're able to find one. As a mechanic I'm sure you would have a ton of uses for it!
New subscriber here. I love seeing someone take something that was trash and make it work. Great stuff
Great work; as a truck driver, those gearboxes would be thrown into gears opposite to the way rolling, hard on clutch plates, so that was no surprise seeing how they came out.

I appreciate that! Just learning as I go!
I used to use this exact forklift, beautiful unit and absolutely bulletproof. I'm gonna keep an eye out for one on marketplace now haha.
That's great to hear! I'm hoping it lasts forever! Good luck with your search!
Awesome content! It's super original and very interesting. Best of all, we can all see your passion for what you are doing. I can't wait to see what your next project is!!!

Appreciate the advice! Looking back, that would kinda give away the the whole video 🤦♂️ still learning lol
@@BustedBeaters not a criticism as such just some food for thought. Your doing a great job my friend 👌

This is good to know! This is right in line with what I was seeing online
Greaat job young man. I'm impressed
Transmissions suck! You get all fulla oil no matter what you do. I just rebuilt my A904 trans and still waiting on the pump seals to come in. Then the fun part of putting the slimey thing back up and in my truck. So far i'm loving your videos. : )
Appreciate it! I've never been covered in so much oil until I started working on this thing lol
Only started watching this series of yours. You’re doing a great job, and I love your style. Keep it up ❤

Wow, impressive work.
I loved the content! I just discovered the channel yesterday, and I’m already excited for more videos. Greetings from Brazil!
So cool that my videos are being watched all around the world! Never would have guessed that someone from Brazil would be watching!
That's right do everything right the first time even wearing the proper safety clothing and protection
Well Done , I never have idea transmission of forklift could be simpler than cars . ! Good luck
Much simpler than I would have guessed! Thanks!
BADASS , Keep it up !🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome how the "Do not enter"-Sign helps something to enter somewhere :D
Hahaha I was about to get rid of that sign too! So glad I hung on to it!
Saw the barbie mustang in the corner. I also built one just like it a year ago. Obviously inspired by GHPC lol
Of course! I need to get back on it! I got pretty far then lost interest 😕
Watching you rebuild that trans was refressing. I am about to pay scrap value for a Hyster H80xl! A 8000lbs rated forklift. 4 front tires all brand nee, worth the money I am paying for the forklift.
Was going to try and rebuild the trans myself also. Never done it before
That's awesome! I hope it all goes well for you! That's a pretty big forklift! I can only imagine how heavy all those parts are
The seal between the diff and the trans is usually the reason of the failure. The diff oil is not compatible with the trans friction plate adhesive. Believe me I learned the hard way.
Ahhh yeah. That seems like it would be a common failure point. Sounds like you had a very similar project!
Well done man it's a good feeling to fix stuff
Always feels good getting it fixed!
@@BustedBeaters and knowing you weren't ripped off
For sure. I know exactly what was done and what was broke along the way!
I would've given up long before where u were. great sketchy workmanship. liked and subed.
There were a few times I thought about giving up lol Appreciate the sub!
Thanks for the videos, you did great work getting it fixed up. I have subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
No harm in soaking clutch plates, you actually should so you'll know for sure on first run it's not gonna run dry at all. We used to soak em when rebuilding transmissions.
That's how I felt about it! Glad I made the right call
Dude for only 6k Followers you make some content worth hundred of thousand subs, Love the vids of the forklift so far
0:57 you can get a bag of Quikrete Blacktop Repair Patch material for about $20, to fix that gap. It would be a easy fix.
Going to have to look into this. You don't know how many times I've tripped on it lol
Your channel has found it's calling, this is the way.
You are very talented. Your the first person ive ever seen torque spark plugs. Great job snd great video. Just curious how old you are. You seen realy young snd are very knowledgeable. Thanks Brian Long Island NY 😊
Appreciate that! I have a fear of overtorquing them and stripping out the block lol! I'm not as young as I look. Low 30's!
I think it’s a great set of videos. I am eagerly looking forward to how this project evolves. I think you should make the video however you wanna make it. If someone thinks they can do better, let them.
Appreciate that! I'll continue making the videos how I want but I'm always open to criticism! I think the feedback is super helpful and can only make my videos even better
This is great content, best of luck from Norway :)
Take the rear steering joints out. Stake the bearing back in with a chisel or punch, indent the steel around the bearing inwards to hold it in place.
I didn't even think about that but it would work! I'm going to have to do that!
now thats a real mechanic lads
Check the alt pulley to make sure that it is still “v” shaped, yes, pre soaking clutches or required to prevent what happened in your trans, and metal strainer is often just cleaned.
Check Hercules seals in Florida.
That's good to know. Still pretty new to all of this. I'll check out Hercules Seals! Thanks!
Nice work!
Noice progress, keep em coming! Yeah lifting heavier stuff without a counterweight installed does not yield optimal results...
Nope! Not at all lol. I was hoping it had enough in it to at least move it to a better spot. It didn't
Certified forklift moment
I just want to say your the first person ever that I have seen use a torque wrench on the spark plugs
Yeah. I'm always afraid to over tighten them and strip out the block
Nice video bro turned out great! For the 286 dollar steering components you could drill out the hole a little bigger then press a brass bushing in, to clean up the slop and make them serviceable.
This is not a bad idea. I was thinking about welding it shut and drilling out the hole out again but, this seems like a much simpler option
Great stuff!
Those parts bills sure hurt. Ouch! Hopefully you don't have a $5000 bill like Robby Layton did when he had his engine rebuilt on his forklift.
That's a decent amount of money. I shouldn't be that high! 5k I'd about what a used one of these machines is selling for in working condition
Thankyou 😊
Your welcome!
Use a socket to match the id or od of a bearing so you dont dent the race with a hammer
Definitely tell you're from maryland just by listening lol. Sounds like a Rosedale native to me with those O's lol.
Hahaha to me I sound normal! I've had several people tell me this though lol
If you need to buy new seals in the future, you should be able to take them to a local NAPA or other auto parts store and they'll usually have them in stock or can order them next day.
This is good to know! I knew the sizes of the seals but for some reason looking up the seals by size on any of the popular auto parts websites was a nightmare hahaha Should have just took them to the store
