I made this video at the yard at work. The company owns it, I just work on it. That fork lift it a late 1970s Manitou with a 4 cylinder perkins diesel. 12K pound lift capacity.
Awesome fix man. Say what type of steel are those cranks made out of? cuz I have one from k301a that the crank shaft end and key way is all buggered up. So i need to get it welled up around so i can re machine a new key way and re turn the shaft end. i am just not sure what type of welding should be used,??
Thanks, the crank seemed to be some kind of cast steel. Im thinking it was pretty low in carbon because the exposed fracture was really light gray.
Im not sure what type of weld would be best. I know with certain rods you can really build a surface up using straight polarity DC. I'd be interested to see how you work it out.
Like that fix, I bet that way is better then it was before, that would make a good backup generator, I bet it would be better on gas then my 4KW and 5KW Onan's
did you use a bottoming tap or just a plug tap

@8tyman8
I ran a plug then a bottoming tap to get as many treads as possible.

you must use a puller only with most Kohler engins

Im thinking I agree with ya! Unfortunately I only had a three bolt puller at the time. This engine requires a four bolt. I'll need to source one.
