![]() ![]() ![]() The parts manual I have for the UB240 is calling for a 316 275 R11, so, one digit short. The casting number on my block is 316 275 R1 The BD240 specs were Net Hp 115 3,600 Rpm Net Torque 211 ft.lbs. Fuel tank in the way? Where will the LP tank go? IH did use LP gas on the 6's and their Service Manuals cover Ensign carburetors/regulators for LP. You will need Pettibone specs for the rpm so as to match their hydraulic systems. Maybe contacting Pettibone or industrial equipment sales and service outfits? Pettibone has been around, maybe just maybe they might have a few records. Another would be the Wisconsin Historical Society in their McCormack/IH collections. I've used Binder Books out here in Oregon who were famous for their scope and breadth on IH literature. They even have hot bulb engines or what some call semi-diesel. It happens once a year near a town called Brooks just before the "Brooks Steamup". We have a huge swap meet here in Oregon where vendors have manuals, parts and parts manuals, you name it, for crawlers, lifts, power units, stationary engines, tractors big and small, the list is endless. There are various sources out there, it takes sleuthing. Like I said, my next step is to rebuild the carb, just wondering what to do with this jerry-rigged choke setup. I did have to re-core the radiator as it was destroyed. The mechanical fuel pump is currently bypassed, looks like someone opted to add an electric pump as opposed to rebuild the mechanical one. I don't think there is a fuel delivery or intake leak at all. I assume those are good numbers? Checked after engine was warmed up, all plugs removed. I did a compression check pretty much the day after I got the machine, from the front cylinder to the back: One issue is it looks like someone rigged up a manual choke that doesn't work very well, I'm wondering, should this engine have a manual choke? None of the Pettibone manuals I have for this fork truck show a choke lever anywhere, and it looks like the carb already has a heat choke canister thingy on it. It has what I believe a Zenith 28-228 carb. I am about to pull off the carb and rebuild it, as it is hard to keep this engine idling. ( ) I'm trying to determine exactly what engine I have so I can order parts correctly.Īs you an see from that album, there is a "BD" stamped on the pad on the block, should I assume this is a 1969 Black Diamond engine? They stopped making them in '69 right? Maybe Pettibone had a stock of these UB-240 units and my 1971 machine has a 1969 engine in it? I have a 1971 Pettibone all terrain telescopic high lift. Thank you! Jake.I know this is a truck forum, but hope someone can help. Anyone have experience with these?, and if so are there any common problems I should know of and look for? Is this generally a reliable forklift and easy to maintain? How available are parts, and do parts tend to be pricey? Are parts generic or particular to pettibone? Does the asking price seem reasonable? Sorry for all the questions, any advice and information on this machine would be greatly appreciated. Owner is asking $4500, and said he would go as low as $4000 firm. Overall, it seemed to be well taken care of, but it is an older piece of equipment for sure. One other issue was that it seemed to lunge forward from a stop in high gear instead of easing forward when depressing on the forward throttle pedal (kind of like when you pop the clutch on a tractor with a clutch pedal, but not as severe of a jolt forward). The tires held air and had plenty of tread but were old and had many cracks in them. I think the crack could be welded if it were to get worse, but not 100% sure. By the way, it could not pick up the steam roller. The mast cylinder had a small crack at the top that leaked some fluid when we tried picking up a 10-ton steam roller, it was not leaking much but that concerned me. There were at least three leaking hydraulic cylinders, one was a cylinder for tilting mast and the other two were cylinders for steering, but none of them seemed to be leaking badly. Brakes worked but pedal went right to the floor, maybe needs fluid or lines blead. Started easily, smoked a little at high rpms. I had the chance to drive it around his yard today. It has a high and low gear that you select manually with a lever, but it is an automatic start with no clutch pedal, just one pedal for forward throttle and one pedal for reverse (and a brake pedal). It has a 4 cylinder continental gas engine, 21' three stage mast, 4 wheel drive, 3 way steering, hydraulic frame levelers. I think it was made in the 60's, owner wasn't sure of exact year. I'm looking at possibly buying this pettibone super 4 cary all forklift, as I'm in need of an all-terrain forklift for use as support equipment around my sawmill. ![]()
