Speaking of beginnings, I have found a "Hyster" model 65? forklift that I can get fairly reasonable as a donor. It was a lease return (2004 model) from GM (imagine that!) and has a newer GE motor and solid-state controller (I assume it's a Curtis or similar?). Anyway, I was wondering what the gurus in the group had to say about this unit. Apparently it has a lift rating of about 6000 pounds and is in good working order. I do have a photo of it (attached). Anyone care to offer some comments? Thanks! Ken
