Old Toyota Forklift. Info needed?

Hello everyone. I just found this site and this is my first post so please bare with me. I just purchased an old Toyota forklift. It was used in a fish plant here in Newfoundland, Canada for many years. It's a bit rusty but pulls great. Lifts great and all of that. It do have a fuel issue. Black smoke and fouling the spark plugs but I'm going to pull the carb off and have a look and clean it out.

The problem I'm having is that there's no data plate on the dash and I can't find the body serial number anywhere else on the thing.

Is there a serial number stamped on the body?
There's an engine number I found and the number is # 5P-0007786

I think the beast might be a 4FG20. there is the number 20 on the rear counter weight.

I was also curious to know if I could purchase a new engine hood that the seat sits on? Mine is totally rusted out. Thanks for any info you can give. Paul

PS. Here's a few pictures! You'll have to copy and paste

I think it is a 3FG20. if it is the bonnet part number is 52101-22000-71 or 52105-22000-71 if it has w/cyclone air cleaner.

Thanks Leon. I attached a few pics of the hood and engine compartment. Maybe this might help to find the right model number. Any idea of the cost of the engine hood? Anywhere else I could get the VIN number for the forklift? Thanks, Paul

Sometimes, the serial # can be found stamped on the frame where the hood meets, along the edge. It can also be found on the front of the unit behind the mast at the bottom - sometimes.

That's great info JonG. I scraped the right side and almost missed it but after used a wire bruch on a grinder I found the number. I can't tell if the "0" are actually "0" or just the letter "U". Anyway here is the serial number.

# 6U4FG25-2U52U All the "U" could be O's Thanks for the help guys.

The model is probably 60-4FG25 the serial is 20520. If that correct part number i supplied they are about £360 sterling from TVH in belguim. You would probably be better sourcing one from canada or US there is sometimes slight differences with european trucks.

Thanks Leon. I checked with my Canadian supplier for the engine hood and I just about dropped dead with the price. They want $3.650 dollars for the hood. I think I'm going to fabricate one.

Can anyone tell me the year of the forklift by my serial number? Thanks guys.

Thanks Bruce. Would anyone happen to know where I could get a new or used front 12 in drive wheel for my forklift. She got one wheel that's a lock ring type on one side and the other has a none lock ring type wheel but the off set is out past the side of the machine. Thanks again guys.
