    237-37 also needs brake pads
    The old fiberglass roofs blew off during transport.

    Matt, we ran a LOT of those Toyota forklifts at my old job. You have nothing to worry about with those hours. Every one of ours did 40K+ hours before they got sold, and they all ran fine when they went. Never any major issues, just ancillary stuff like a gas converter, bad sensor, or dodgy starter. Major components, never a problem.
    The brakes on all yours will be good, just like they were on ours -- they never get used! That said, in over 2 MILLION hours I saw those forks, we never had a transmission problem -- NEVER! Pretty good for machines that would be going flat out one way grossing 5.5 tonnes and be slammed into the opposite direction at full throttle.
    ETA: That valve tick is the worst I've heard on one of those. They normally go away with oil pressure like all the others did. Probably fixable though. And the one that won't start will be some finickity little thing rather than the engine itself.

    Matt, You established the part about your not going to be building, nor going to run a conventional repair shop or operate during "A" typical hours. I can't even picture you working in a 9-5 setting for any length of time. Your calling is doing just what your doing now, buying, fixing, using and reselling equipment. For most, that's the dream. For you, that's the plan and it's working out very well. The video's are informative, but more than that-there an inspiration. You don't waste time on things like paint, buffing or polishing. Your theory is specific-It starts, it runs, it's here. Come try it, buy it, take it home, paint it and fly it! Your videos show how you got it, what you did to it, and all sales are fair, legit, and final. It doesn't get any better than that.

The railroad could not get their derricks (rail derricks) to the middle of a derailment to get cars moved.

      My pay just went up and up. Retired early through ill health and now I just work on a few friends cars to keep me a bit active and my brain alive. JCB is a very good company to work for and I would now recommend to anyone to take a job with them. KW Now 75 and still doing well.

    Nice haul! You should keep 2 forklifts, lowest hours except if they have noises or running issues, fix and flip the rest. Keep and love the Gradall, fix and flip the Genie, fix brakes on JCB, keep best 1 flip the other. Build some drying racks for lumber for the trailer. A dealers license is also a great idea if you can swing it.

    Personally I think the dry van trailer was a great buy at the price. You can use it for storage, or license it and use it to pick up items that you don't want to haul through nasty weather. You'd be surprised at what will fit in those things. We used to pick up John Deere tractors and haul them from Atlanta to Iowa in a dry van.

    I bet you are going to LOVE that Gradall handler. I worked at the factory when that model was being built. Structurally they are tanks, the rear pivot steering makes them super maneuverable, and they are quite off-road capable. I could see that becoming a big part of your operations. Hope you can sell the other forklifts easily, since all of them have the short masts for inside truck trailer work.

    Telehandler was by far my favorite piece of equipment on the farm. We had bale forks, pallet forks, and a bucket for it. Ran a digester/bedding dryer op. Used it with a hydraulic rake for haylage until we got a bigger wheel loader and a big rake. The telescoping boom just makes it so versatile for loading and unloading everything. Really handy for loading both sides of a trailer with something like round bales.
