Will It Move. Seeing that Manitou bought back memories for me as back in the day I drove a Manitou MB 25P, Based on an International tractor with a Perkins engine and a Shuttle Gearbox. It was the one with the Sliding Counter Weight.
I've got one and runs like a dream- we bought it 1985 and it was a year old then . Built around a Ford 4000 - I put new brakes in it a few years ago and there Ford 4000 brakes. I found out the Manitou dealer had a new central mast for it - he sold it to me cheap ( who else would buy it) . It would great to see it running.
Yes, please do a tlc vid on this. And I am absolute on board with how and why You do what. If this is cheap, get it, find the fault(why it´s parked) and use it. Seems like a good purchase. And by the length of this it was clear to me that it would light up proper. I liked it anyway.
I used to drive one of these on the first farm I worked on which was over 20 years ago. It was brilliant, very reliable. It must have been bigger than this one you've got there, though, as it had a sliding weight over the engine. We had a 2 ton grain bucket for it and using it to clean out the cow shed every spring was fun, pulling wheelies ripping out bucketfuls. 😁 I'd be interested to see if you can get yours to move. Driving it in top gear down the road was scary cos the steering was super sensitive and so made it oh so easy to tip over. Not that I ever did, lol. But I often broke walls with it. 🥴🤣
As a regular forklift operator this project has me fully fired up! This is some beast compared to what I'm used to running and will be great to see if you can find the parts and get it 'forking' once again, I reckon it will come right back around good luck.
First forfklift i repaired was a manitou that was some 30 years ago nice to see one with all the cab on it. Be nice to see it back in service doing its thing
Nice one Muck . I remember these on the first building site I worked on in 1987 😮 TVH Group based in Belgium but UK depot and worldwide do an amazing range of spares for so many different makes and types of lifting equipment and plant .
I’ve lost my mate to discuss your videos with now he spoke so highly of you rip zach. Them old rough terrain counterbalance forklift was all we had before the Sanderson teleporter come along revolution the job.
I'm still at a loss as to know what to think or do. To be honest both Nick and I agreed there is nothing we can do but it's still so unreal. I don't know.
Got to start with , will it move before I forget, Great video to watch , such a sweet, crisp engine , did a bit of work with one of these forklifts years back & I really liked it , seemed a good tool & very strong on the lift capabilities. The one I used had no torque converter, just selected one of 3 gears & a reverse gear if I remember correctly 👍😊Had a good turning circle too. Thanks for the video 😊👍👍👍👍👍
A brilliant machine. We had the ih version. Great for going in old buildings we had on the farm. Was a wonderful, simply machine to use and easy to work on. Cheers hope you are able to get it going.
Excellent video and you got it running ,so another one saved . Looking forward to the next one "will it move" I think it will turn out to be a good machine . All the best Mucker.
Perfect in a yard moving bales about, no need for a 100k John Deere to feed the animals, it’s still got many years left in it even if you spend £800, don’t even need the door on it
Love to see you get this going properly. We had a 4wd version in 1977 but the Internash 45HP engine. Used to build a new farmhouse, lifting stone for the facing up to the third storey. Kept it around the farm for a while afterwards but when we tried it with a buckrake at silage time it didn’t have power to move on the pit and had to be dragged off. Traded it off at Dobsons in 1980 for an MF 565. Believe it went down to Dorset.
Of course we want to see it move, I thought that was the whole idea of getting it fkin started, was to move it and see if it can be put back into use. 😉
Excellent video Lord Muck :) yes Like See Move to watch and nice find too on Fork Lift tractor to ! Nice see those on RUclips videos always so cool and seen lots them in person too!
Great job mucker it looks like a ford engine and skid unit basically the same as a SANDERSON SB 45 SERIES FORKLIFT TRUCK which were built in Skegness also used in later models 2 gears forward and 2 reverse and high low on the other stick never had many issues with running gear when I worked on them at a ford tractor main dealer ,just clutches ,the brake bellows seals in the axle you know like 4600s
would love to see project manitou , if you take measurements off the mast channel and carridge you should be able to get bearings ordered ,did that with a old climax.
Just now getting a chance to watch (8 hrs late) and by looking at the comments, I'm going to assume we will be seeing a small series of the old girl getting some TLC and possibly lifting again, lol Thank you for sharing!
Wil lit move . Yes I would like to see project Manitou. They are are very good fork lift, Mucka. In Australia I have only seen Perkins engine, in the Manitou's, which were a good engine.
Yes, full ''will it move?', please

Thanks Kurt great vid... Take care sir...
Cheers Kev

Yess, I want to see project Manitou!
Nothing Tommy, it's tip top....😂
Cracking runner M'lod, even without a birdsnest...
A will it move for me please!
Great video as always!
Cheers, Mike
A bit like mastermind when the time runs out! "I've started so I'll finish" 👍
Absolutely, it has to be saved as it's in too good of shape, so yes, I would love to see Project manitou great vid Mr Muck .
Love to see more on this machine. For, hopefully, not a lot of investment could be a useful machine.
It< worth spending some money on it. They are a very useful machine especially in a workshop or in a machinery salvage situation.
Another good vid Mucker, i had a track rod end for one of our local Manitou dearler not long ago, think most parts are still available, do well!!
I would love to see you go through that forklift.
Top quality video as always mucker definitely will it move something a bit different that machine which is nice 👍🏻
Definitely needs a 'will it move', great motivation for me to get some of my junk working!
Go for it! 👌🏼
Good video Mucker farm I worked on had one the 80s traded it in for Sanderson 👍🚜😊
Did you notice the tax disc its only been off the road about ten years, and yes will it move, great video as always.
Yes please! Show us how it runs and further repairs😁.
Great job mucker it looks like a ford engine and skid unit basically the same as a SANDERSON SB 45 SERIES FORKLIFT TRUCK which were built in Skegness also used in later models 2 gears forward and 2 reverse and high low on the other stick never had many issues with running gear when I worked on them at a ford tractor main dealer ,just clutches ,the brake bellows seals in the axle you know like 4600s
Hi mucker really enjoy the video hope to see you you complete the Manito we had 1 on the farm it had the international engine in it nice 1
Drove them on the building sites great forklift still a lot work left in that one yet with a bit of tlc 👍
would love to see project manitou , if you take measurements off the mast channel and carridge you should be able to get bearings ordered ,did that with a old climax.
Yep, carry on with it mate!
Got to see it through, it’s too good to just sit there 👍🏻
Just now getting a chance to watch (8 hrs late) and by looking at the comments, I'm going to assume we will be seeing a small series of the old girl getting some TLC and possibly lifting again, lol
Thank you for sharing!

Will it move?
I realize that increases your workload substantially but yeah, you've got me interested now, Muck. All the best from Pittsburgh USA.
the next stage will be good to see - will it move?
Project Manitou - yes please!!
