This one has a ladder like we used to borrow from the City 60 years ago to change light bulbs at our gas stations. The guy says it starts, runs, but don't stop. I can fix that. I better hire someone to haul it. Looks like the guy has a lot of junk and if I go myself, I might come home with more than I expected. https://plus.google.com/photos/108197707187186692269/albums/5850800670777346273 | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | way cool score .... but you should see if you can get that 50 Tudor sedan too  Bill | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 | Nice! Wasnt that just on E bay? Is that a 300 or 350 series?
It looks to be similar to mine. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,961 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,961 | It was on eBay. The opening bid of $850 bought it. I think it is probably a 300 series. I spoke to the guy after I bought it, but I never asked him what series it is. He buys forklifts and refurbishes them and then sells to them to farmers. He likes old stuff and quite often takes old farm trucks in on trade. Looks like yours is a 400 which has a little heavier frame, heavier axles but looks the same from a distance. Looks like yours has a 248. I'm thinking this one may be a 236 which very few of were made. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | A good buy for sure. Would you take $851 for it. That is a profit you know  One day, I'm gonna get me one of them big bolts!! Good catch. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 476 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 476 | I,D love to have that truck! It would work great for all the tree triming I need done. It looks like you got a good buy (no visable rust) | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,399 Camp Commandant | | Camp Commandant Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,399 | That's a cool rig Ken. Perfect for a little gutter cleaning, maybe some tree pruning or putting up Christmas decorations!
Nice score. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 42 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 42 | Very nice!
Useful too. Great price, especially if it does actually run.

The big bolts bring less money cause not too many people have the guts to jump into them. I'll out bid Alvin by 5 bucks and also pick it up this summer when the snow is gone. It will look good with a flag on top, sitting next to the 9500 ladder truck. http://s893.beta.photobucket.com/us...&_suid=13622793375190753479765519351Thanks Don

Yeah Ken, mine is a 400 with a 248, & you aint kidding it's got a heavy frame, ive' got it completely stripped right now, and I can not lift any of it myself.
