[ihc] New addition



Not to crow, but too cool not to share... ;)

Latest addition to the fleet came home yesterday, driven about 4 miles on public streets:

'69 Hyster Challenger 60, 6000# all terrain forklift. Ex-USN, 6' forks, 15' lift easy :)

Fully hydraulic steering makes things 'interesting' at road speeds. No road feel whatsoever, and no return to center. Feels kinda like piloting a greased ball bearing.

I have paid my last dues dragging engines, etc. around with the portable A-frame and chain fall. This baby has flatbeds to install, cabs to pull, pickup beds to stack, etc..

IH content - I just finished installing an NOS Navistar ignition switch so that only *I* have a key(forklift keys are typically generic) 8P
