Allis Chalmers "Cotton"? Forklift

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Recently I bought early '70s vintage AC FPL40-24-2PS pneumatic tire forklift with Buda, 4B-153, OHV, 4 cyl. propane engine & Borg Warner T11 two speed auto. trans. (rigid machine!)
I bought a engine/trans. parts manual on ebay - In looking through the manual I noticed various part #'s as being for a "Cotton Unit". I was hoping one of you really checked out A/C guys might know what that was? I noticed the front engine crankshaft pulley was a 2 belt for the "Cotton Unit" as opposed to a 1 belt as mine is - but then some of these had an "Oil Clutch" paired with a manual trans. so ???
Thanks for any info.
