1896 Ford Horseless Carriage I'm building for my self
from scratch.
This is my freshly painted
fork lift I just finished building.
It started out being a 1984 Ford Ranger
pickup.
After stripping it down to the frame, wheels and motor I started
building it into a forklift.
This forklift is able to travel
at highway speeds, (but will dot be used on the roads)
has 2
headlights on either end, a horn, A M FM radio with a CD player, and
two tool boxes,
two rear view mirrors and a 12 volt electric
hydraulic pump to raise and tilt the forks.
I designed, cut
out, formed and welded or bolted every metal part in place.
The hood is hinged in the center, I designed it after a McCormick
tractor.
These are cut out of 3/16 hardened
metal...below...

1/8" steel broke rolled it to form the seat and back that is comfortable to sit in. |
|
Next I cut out the 4.5" wide by 10' long strips and rolled to make the 38" diameter rings for rocking on. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I welded stops on the front and back of the rings so you can only rock so far in each direction. |
|
Arm rests are included. After welding it all together and painting it, it's time to sit and rock. |
