I have a small straight mast Clark forklift, I think it's 4,500 lift cap. It has the hard rubber tires on it, which are terrible for tooling around outside the shop, off the concrete. I want to put pneumatic fork lift tires on it, but the solid drive tires are only about 3/4" from the "fender wells", and they are real short tires, maybe only 10 or 12 inches tall at the most. Most of the small pneumatic fork lift tires are probably 16 or 18 inches tall, as a guess. Has anyone ever converted one from hard tires to pneumatic tires? How did you gain the clearance to allow the drive tires to fit in the wheel well? To me, it looks like you would almost have to either cut the wheel arch out if possible, (I haven't yet looked to see what structure is back there yet. Or, did the ones with pneumatic tires have a lift block between the frame and drive axle to gain that clearance? I think there is plenty of room for the rear steer tires to fit, just not the front drive tires. Oh, I like to use it to pick up heavy tractor stuff, front ends, engines, etc. Thanks

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
