Junkyard Rescue of a Lull Forklift

[@mrshaneyt43]

I’m gradually going back through all your old videos over many months . Your dad’s place is honestly amazing, he has the best collection of “ran when I parked it vehicles ever” . He clearly is a vehicle connoisseur who saw the value of owning all sorts of great stuff that you now get to work on from time to time and sometimes even take home ( the lovely bus ) 👍

[@squigtonianmayhem4602]

Man! I spent many hours on one of those puppies, back in the late eighties and early nineties. Awesome rig! Exact model. Thanks for the post! You blew my mind!

[@mikes.4136]

That was a very nice set of repairs for that old Lull. Impressive!
It looks like you have a lot of older heavy equipment and trucks at your site. Some look real old. That Oshkosh truck might be a good project!
Love your channel.

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thank you very much! My Dad's been collecting stuff for years, so he's got quite a selection of old equipment that "ran when parked". I'll definitely do more videos on that stuff!

[@nickraschke4737]

Great smile when she fired up. Good stuff.

[@markuschampos5750]

This is my new favourite channel! And I'm a pro youtube watcher😉
Hi from Sweden👍

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks, glad you like it!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

That thing is the bomb. I like the crab pot wire mesh you have as a cover for the driver. I have an old John Deere skid steer. 1981. Maybe one day that will fire up again.

[@joelalleman9591]

that forklift looks like a perfect piece of machinery for a very wide variety of use around a shop !!!!!!! A very good calculated choice of engine to use in that machine !!! We had yale fork trucks in use at my old job and they also utilized chrysler slant six engines , you could not kill them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cliffhaupt5413]

I worked for a construction company in the 70’s they had a Lull just like that. Good old machine.

[@LeapingBlackman]

Beautiful machine
Dangerous enough to be really cool

[@nosrin1988]

this channel is great!

[@jeffsnider3588]

You got some nice junk.

[@johnossendorf9979]

In the early 90's I knew a guy who drove his Dodge van with a slant 6 35 miles home on kerosene. He said it made a cloud of white smoke and wouldn't go over 15 mph. The next day he filled it with gas, in a few miles it stopped smoking the power came back. He drove it for a few more years and had no problems from running it on kerosene.

[@ProctorSilex]

He must have forgotten to _put it in H._

[@denniscoughlin7437]

That thing sounds great! 👍

[@albatrosnh]

Everything about this....amazing and SO SO you!

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks! It was good to be back in the woods again, even for a short time...

[@StarlightWorkshop0z]

Mad max material ;)

[@larryalexander4833]

Hello just ran across your channel. We seem to have one thing for sure in common a budget . Curious what state your in ?

[@LowBuckGarage]

@@larryalexander4833 That one was up at my Dad's place in New England, but usually I'm in NM.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

This Channel has The most Variety of vehicles you could wish for to see and work on! Awesome stuff, Sir! Thank you for sharing and explaining what you do and why.
Very interesting

[@dirk4926]

I'm glad the plant survived

[@ronpriest9803]

Man he has so much stuff there. Let me know when you're back in town I'd like to see you and the property again.

[@LowBuckGarage]

Sorry for the late reply, apparently youtube stopped notifying me of comments. I'll get in touch next time I'm up there (probably next summer), its kind of amazing how nature has taken back over. So many trees growing through cars...

[@rogerphillips450]

Entreating as usual , glad I found it.

[@paulosborne6517]

What a weird, ugly and awesome machine..!

[@CasperRc81]

Such a fun life you have to tinker endlessly. I would say if we weren’t a tribal nation your channel would drum up more viewers than road kill etc. no pun to them but unfair realities. Glad I found this channel. Just finish my very large weld table. I completed my wife’s pool slide Support yesterday and now I can start on my daughters bicycle trailer.

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks, I sure appreciate it. Sounds like you have some good projects, too, have fun with them!

[@joshuahenrichs595]

We had on of those at our junkyard really cool machine

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

What a pity/shame that so much stuff is rotting away.

[@gregglogan9553]

you are so lucky. love the video.

[@williammccartney4833]

I operated one of those in the eighties! was a masons tender.

[@kcraig51]

Never seen such an animal. Neat!

[@jlucasound]

@ 5:30 Now try and shut it off! You can't! No one can! It is such a sound to behold. Slant Six engineer's bosses drove them to hurl themselves off tall buildings screaming, "Why did we make this engine so dependable!" as they plummeted to engineer's Heaven. (The Bosses went the "other way". 😢 ). Indestructible. (I made up the Hurling Part). 😍

[@jlucasound]

Oh, Ya. You know the slant six. It will run under a garden hose! With the valve cover OFF! 😲 (But a Duralube commercial has to be involved). 😉

[@bigsid1984]

Awesome

[@Bret4207]

Always wanted one of those...

[@cmac956]

Hi , you have some interesting stuff to drive around .

[@LowBuckGarage]

Glad you like it, I enjoy working on the odd stuff, and figuring out how to drive it afterward!

[@cmac956]

@@LowBuckGarage have fun

[@darploin5071]

Did you check the condition of the hydraulic fluid make sure it was a lot of water in it since you are trying to pick up a dump truck with the forklift that might be something you might want to look at

[@rasungod0]

Pretty much the precursor to a telehandler.

[@alangordon3283]

Brilliant

[@teamidris]

I think that would be my main goto machine around a yard like that. Obviously I would have a stick shoved on the end so I could reach the moon :o)

[@southernman7692]

i wish i had that old lull i could dam sure use it

[@walterrobbins4470]

I always hated how slow those engines crank

[@johnkimble2258]

You sound SO sweet!

[@jlucasound]

Cheetos based Mac and Cheese? I am so there.

[@paulward3566]

I'm very curious about the location ( approx) of this treasure trove of various equipment. How did you come to locate in this elderly scrap yard?

[@sklsout]

🥪🇺🇸👍

[@darploin5071]

This Chryslers in line 6 as industrial engines there are a lot better than I thought cuz you have two half tracks both of them use the same engine that uses the same engine and I know another RUclipsr who has a galleon road grader with the same engine in it and they all run

[@stevezwiefelhofer3466]

What yr is that specimen?? I ask because I own the same machine but it has a enclosed cab and side engine covers.. its a real workhorse

[@LowBuckGarage]

I don't know for sure, but my guess is late 60's to early 70's. They're definitely built for work!

[@Hunting_Daddy]

Do you know what model of lull fork lift yours is? I’m looking at one just like it but can’t find a model tag on it to know what I’m getting. Any help would be appreciated.

[@LowBuckGarage]

I think its a model 400, as far as I can tell. I did not see that on a data plate, just going by matching up pictures of other ones with the slant 6 motor. If you can get it cheap, I'd buy it, they're pretty interesting and fun to drive. I never got into all the steering options, but you can steer both front and rear axles the same direction or opposite directions or just the front. Its really maneuverable for the size.

[@Hunting_Daddy]

Low-Buck Garage thank you for the information, and the quick response

[@jlucasound]

I hope you transplanted the plant. How is it doing today? Two years later. 😁

[@erichahn6450]

What year is that forklift

[@LowBuckGarage]

I'm not sure exactly, but I'm thinking late 60's to early 70's.

[@fhorst41]

Just stay away from Pettibone. Pettibone is French for "falls over sideways"..

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Nice work getting it running! 🙂👍 A few years ago, I passed up one just like it for $1k..Kick myself for not just going and getting it. 🔧🔩
