Manitou - International

Bill from Scotland · Feb 12, 2017

Just wondering if this was a model you guys ever got to the US. I bought the Manitou Forklift a few weeks ago, the engine was stuck through water getting through the exhaust. Stripped it down yesterday to find two damaged pistons, guess someone tried to tow start it but of course that hadnt worked. Im thinking it has an International bd 154 diesel engine, can anyone confirm this? Im thinking ill order an engine kit which includes pistons, liners, gaskets etc. I think it may have wet liners, any advice on the removal of these? Any further help or advice welcome.

Unless you see a tag on the engine to confirm the IH motor I would not order parts until you get confirmation of the mfg. Do you have a local industrial equipment mechanic to help you identify the engine? Looks like you can go to manitou.com for info straight from the mfg.

Hi Bill, 45 years of experence with Manitou fork lift trucks and telescopic handlers 35 of thoes years with my own business. The machine in the photo looks like one of the MB-C range of machines using an IH 444 tractor skid unit. If so the engine will be a BD154 diesel engine as used in the IH 414,434 and 444 tractors. the transmission will have a forward and reverse gearbox in front of the 8 speed tractor box. If you require any further infomation I will try and help you, you can call me on Lincoln
