We had a number of the four wheel drive version on the fleet at Plant and Tools in Tunbridge Wells back in the eighties. From memory, they were a solid piece of kit. Remember doing a clutch on one. Again, from memory, we had issues with the drag link to the yolk that steered the rear wheels was proned to shearing the bolts that joined the two. A bit of a poor design which we had to result to the arc welder!
Will It Move. Seeing that Manitou bought back memories for me as back in the day I drove a Manitou MB 25P, Based on an International tractor with a Perkins engine and a Shuttle Gearbox. It was the one with the Sliding Counter Weight.
I used to drive one of these on the first farm I worked on which was over 20 years ago. It was brilliant, very reliable. It must have been bigger than this one you've got there, though, as it had a sliding weight over the engine. We had a 2 ton grain bucket for it and using it to clean out the cow shed every spring was fun, pulling wheelies ripping out bucketfuls. 😁 I'd be interested to see if you can get yours to move. Driving it in top gear down the road was scary cos the steering was super sensitive and so made it oh so easy to tip over. Not that I ever did, lol. But I often broke walls with it. 🥴🤣
Yes, please do a tlc vid on this. And I am absolute on board with how and why You do what. If this is cheap, get it, find the fault(why it´s parked) and use it. Seems like a good purchase. And by the length of this it was clear to me that it would light up proper. I liked it anyway.
Perfect in a yard moving bales about, no need for a 100k John Deere to feed the animals, it’s still got many years left in it even if you spend £800, don’t even need the door on it
would love to see project manitou , if you take measurements off the mast channel and carridge you should be able to get bearings ordered ,did that with a old climax.
Hi lord muck hope your well , I recently carried out my own will it start on our old Sanderson forklift based on a ford 4000 , the engine was seized up due to a coolant leak ,wich I freed up and got it going again ! Worked lovely for about two weeks before the engine started knocking , could this be due to it seizing up ?
Yes i would like to see it move and by the way you talk a lot of sense what is the point cleaning the machine charging all the fluids if it doesn't start wasting time and money it's common sense so why don't people think before sending a comment
Of course we want to see it move, I thought that was the whole idea of getting it fkin started, was to move it and see if it can be put back into use. 😉
Yes, more Manitou please. What is the third hydraulic valve for? There's no handle fitted to it. I noticed there is a hose reel on the mast, possibly side shift was fitted at one time? I bet you have far more trouble moving the Range Rover out of the way!🤣🤣
Just now getting a chance to watch (8 hrs late) and by looking at the comments, I'm going to assume we will be seeing a small series of the old girl getting some TLC and possibly lifting again, lol Thank you for sharing!
Got to start with , will it move before I forget, Great video to watch , such a sweet, crisp engine , did a bit of work with one of these forklifts years back & I really liked it , seemed a good tool & very strong on the lift capabilities. The one I used had no torque converter, just selected one of 3 gears & a reverse gear if I remember correctly 👍😊Had a good turning circle too. Thanks for the video 😊👍👍👍👍👍
Course it would of start it's old machine built to last but will it move who did the pigeon shit welding on the door hinges 🤔 😂🤣 only just found this channel and you remind me of my old best friend when i grew up with and worked on the farm when I was 16 he's dad only had ford tractors I started to drive the 4000 he would never scrap anything but not a farm anymore all the land is rented to the local growers in (Evesham) Worcestershire now I'm subscribed to the channel 👍
Excellent video Lord Muck :) yes Like See Move to watch and nice find too on Fork Lift tractor to ! Nice see those on TH-cam videos always so cool and seen lots them in person too!
Wil lit move . Yes I would like to see project Manitou. They are are very good fork lift, Mucka. In Australia I have only seen Perkins engine, in the Manitou's, which were a good engine.
If you struggle to find the Manitou specific parts mucker, you need to find a local forklift dealer with a TVH account - they all do except one man band outfits like me. TVH are your best bet, they are about the only supplier of aftermarket forklift parts in the world because they've bought up all the competition and shut them down 😂 But they support older machines longer than the OEM's do. Definitely try to find a parts manual, there cross matching iant always the nest and having OEM part numbers makes all the difference.
Looks like a Range Rover in its natural habitat in front. Abandoned in a hedge. How can such a fancy vehicle depreciate to nothing in a couple of years? Too fancy for their own good.
Never got to use a mani as we had a Coventry climax and a sanderson As main yard trucks a rear mounted mast fitted to an old 135 fergi was the main field used unit
As a regular forklift operator this project has me fully fired up! This is some beast compared to what I'm used to running and will be great to see if you can find the parts and get it 'forking' once again, I reckon it will come right back around good luck.
I've got one and runs like a dream- we bought it 1985 and it was a year old then . Built around a Ford 4000 - I put new brakes in it a few years ago and there Ford 4000 brakes. I found out the Manitou dealer had a new central mast for it - he sold it to me cheap ( who else would buy it) . It would great to see it running.
We that have older Internationals (like my late 60's 3444 bucket loader, with a BD154 diesel) would like to not only see it move but be put back into service 😊❤
Mukka. Your videos are so funny. You must take ages editing, the comedy clips in. I'm in absolute stitches, laid here convalescing. Your no nonsense approach, is absolutely perfect. Get her driving pal. She will move ! I'll bet you £100.
Wil it move
Yes, full ''will it move?', please
Definitely get it sorted, had one on the farm I worked on as a student. Even I couldn’t break it!

He has support worldwide 😍
Will it move.... YES YES
Oh yeah will it move can remember using one of these to load grain when a young lad on the farm great machine

Yes please! Show us how it runs and further repairs😁.
Get it fully working
Will it move. Great video Mucker, Keep them coming.
That old forklift fired right up, I'd like to see a will it move and operate video!
It< worth spending some money on it. They are a very useful machine especially in a workshop or in a machinery salvage situation.
Will it move fix her up and put her back to work!!
Every step until its complete . Great channel, Great content ,thanks
Plus 1 for the move and the lift and everything
Yes, please do a tlc vid on this. And I am absolute on board with how and why You do what. If this is cheap, get it, find the fault(why it´s parked) and use it. Seems like a good purchase. And by the length of this it was clear to me that it would light up proper. I liked it anyway.
It's a gem
The 3 holes at the end of the halfshafts would suggest it's a Ford back end too?
Once we get it out I'll take a proper look and see what's what
Perfect in a yard moving bales about, no need for a 100k John Deere to feed the animals, it’s still got many years left in it even if you spend £800, don’t even need the door on it
Will it move
Will it move?
I realize that increases your workload substantially but yeah, you've got me interested now, Muck. All the best from Pittsburgh USA.
Will it move
Will it move?!
Yess, I want to see project Manitou!
will it move ?
Will it move and restore back to a working machine. Not a respray tho as looks great in her working clothes 😁
Will it move more ?
would love to see project manitou , if you take measurements off the mast channel and carridge you should be able to get bearings ordered ,did that with a old climax.
Will it move??
Hi lord muck hope your well , I recently carried out my own will it start on our old Sanderson forklift based on a ford 4000 , the engine was seized up due to a coolant leak ,wich I freed up and got it going again ! Worked lovely for about two weeks before the engine started knocking , could this be due to it seizing up ?
Anything that fires off that easily, deserves a little love. Carry on smartly!
Get it moving fella. Great job on the editing love the clips must take some amount of time to complete keep them coming
Defo just like ur mucker diesal creek love the two shows 😊
Will it move.
What a gem, she wants to get moving for sure the way she started up like that!
I think you will be surprised just how high the mast can lift.
Yes i would like to see it move and by the way you talk a lot of sense what is the point cleaning the machine charging all the fluids if it doesn't start wasting time and money it's common sense so why don't people think before sending a comment
Please! Dont leave us hangin Lord Muck. Carry on with this project! Thanks
Definitely go to next level you got it started now to get it moving. That was a nice easy start they don’t make em like that anymore.
Easiest one yet 👌🏼
the next stage will be good to see - will it move?
Of course we want to see it move, I thought that was the whole idea of getting it fkin started, was to move it and see if it can be put back into use. 😉
Top quality video as always mucker definitely will it move something a bit different that machine which is nice 👍🏻
I want so see it forklifting again :D And the way to this condition.
Yes, more Manitou please. What is the third hydraulic valve for? There's no handle fitted to it. I noticed there is a hose reel on the mast, possibly side shift was fitted at one time? I bet you have far more trouble moving the Range Rover out of the way!🤣🤣
It's literally that - a third service for a toe-tip bucket or grab etc.
Yes come on, we all want to see the 'will it move', it's why we're all here 😎
Go for it Podge, get her working. 👍👍🇬🇧
Just now getting a chance to watch (8 hrs late) and by looking at the comments, I'm going to assume we will be seeing a small series of the old girl getting some TLC and possibly lifting again, lol
Thank you for sharing!
Yes, let's see it all, warts n' all!! It's a lot better than bobbing in and out, and trying to figure out where we are in the project! 🙋👍
Will it move!!!

22:16 couldn’t agree more, every p.E teacher 😂
Nothing Tommy, it's tip top....😂

They're built around a 4610 rather than a 4000 but roughly the same 👍
Wil it move

Mukka.
Your videos are so funny.
You must take ages editing, the comedy clips in.
I'm in absolute stitches, laid here convalescing.
Your no nonsense approach, is absolutely perfect.
Get her driving pal.
She will move !
I'll bet you £100.
love to see it be saved and used.
Great content! I appreciate the detailed explanation of the engine and gearbox. These old machines are real workhorses. 💪
Well done sir... easily watch Will it move... but will the range move to get it out.... without beeping ? 😜🤣... stay safe 🏴
