Well I am officially the proud owner of a dead forklift
Actually it still moves right now but I don't get the battery. Now I just have to find time to tear it apart. With any luck, I will break even once I sell off what I don't need, and have a free motor. The brushes and comm look really good, from what I can see, so hopefully it won't take much to freshen up the motor.
