Hello! New here, just picked up an FT25-24PS forklift. I've been looking for a compact forklift for a while and came across this one and I have to say, I love it so far. I was trying to find some info on it. I checked the LM manuals and found an F40-24PS, which I assume may be close? The only downside so far is no power steering, but I plan to add electric or hydraulic power steering (probably electric) at some point. One of the best things - it fits through my 7ft garage door! Any recommendations for a place to get parts? Thanks!       |

Yes, a very sweet little lift truck. I've had a couple of them. They quickly become your 'go-to-helper' around a garage. W/o power steering you have to steer on the move  . As for parts the best help you may get is from some forklift repair shop as they have had to scratch their head many times for the same reason.------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal! |

Thanks! I was given a lead for a company that may have a power steering kit for these: https://www.midweststeering.com/" rel="nofollow - https://www.midweststeering.com/ Going to give them a call and will follow-up (fingers crossed).

Would anyone know where I could find a parts or service manual? I'm not having much luck locating one. I've be searching through liberated's site but haven't landed on anything yet. I did find a place to purchase one, just not sure if it will be correct: http://www.jensales.com/products/Allis-Chalmers-FT-25-Tractor-Service-Manual-AC-S-FT20-FP20_p_66300" rel="nofollow - http://www.jensales.com/products/Allis-Chalmers-FT-25-Tractor-Service-Manual-AC-S-FT20-FP20_p_66300 I'm still looking at power steering options - been looking at some of these micro electric power steering kits.
